What if you don't want multiplayer? (Destiny)

Like it's already been said, what if you don't want the DLC? They'd be forcing people to pay more money for something they don't want.

How can you possibly know you don't want them? If it was $60 with 2 included Expansions would you still argue that you're 'paying for stuff you don't want'?

Upping the price and including everything would be changing the proposition to be more total. i.e. Destiny is ALL OF THIS and you can be in or out at whatever price it is. A reaction against the perception of 'nickle and dimeing people to death' that is often thrown about with the rise of DLC. It also solves the awkwardness of DLC being relatively more expensive for the amount of content compared to the original game.

then you get to play the "what constitutes a full game" game. Let's say that destiny was $90, but it was marketed as "full game plus DLC." Then another publisher comes along and charges $90 for a game with no DLC, but they market as being "50% longer than a normal game" or something.

Over time people get used to the higher price point, then the incentive of "included DLC" goes away.

Then they start coming out with separate DLC again, and the price point raises to $120.
