After Bungie announced Destiny‘s upcoming The Dark Below DLC, many gamers became fed up with different points of the game - some Xbox gamers, however, don’t like the PlayStation-exclusive content. Some asked for refunds using bogus reasoning, which Microsoft initially fulfilled. Now, upon discovering that many lied about their refund’s true reason, Microsoft is investigating all users who wanted a refund on the basis that they committed fraud.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Playing Destiny 1 on PC has been something fans have been requesting for years. It looks like Destiny 1 is now playable on PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
Drama. I doubt anything will come of it.
I don't know anything about MS return policy on x1 games.
My question is, can't MS do a quick investigation before refunding a game?
in all fairness they're committing acts of fraud, getting their profile banned should be the least of their concerns.
also not sure why they're moaning that PS got exclusive content... it was well advertised that PS was getting exclusive stuff it's not like it was the day of and bungie went "oh hey PS owners you get this, MS users tough tits"
This ruins everything for people. Microsoft FINALLY gave more power to the reps you first come in contact with and now that power will be taken away because of all of these crybabies. You made a bad purchase deal with it just because you used your monthly allowance on it dont ruin it for everyone. So now if someone legit makes a mistake its going to be a hassle because now you will have to jump through hoops to get the refund. Another reason why the gaming community is just trash
While I think the whole matter is ridiculous, companies do have strict policies about returns. So, if you get a refund by giving a false reason, they may react. But I wonder exactly what false reasons people are using. I would make the case that I was uninformed about the content and purchased in error. That would be a legit reason right? No point in lying.
Then again, I always found buying DLC and season passes without exact knowledge of the content to be a bit misguided. I applauded DriveClub for giving a detailed breakdown of what to expect if nothing else.
