People are just being petty and unreasonable. I don't see many claiming illegal actions when annual sports titles shut down servers and lock out old players who do not upgrade to a newer version.
You paid $60 a year ago, I say you had plenty of fun with it. And you still can have plenty of fun, but not as much as people willing to pay extra for expansions.
More money -> more music!

Also, a lot of people complained that Destiny is boring and repetitive, and now they are complaining that they cannot continue that boredom and repeat the same strike over and over again.

That's gaming today, it just seems that many never enjoy games but only seek reasons to complain. May I suggest a switch of hobbies - knitting is also a lot of fun, lasts for a long time, no DLC and the content is never blocked off by the yarn producing companies.

 

Yes, this is what gaming is today. It gets worse and people say "just deal with it". But that doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it, right?

Also you didn't buy a 1-year subscription with Destiny, you bought a game which you expected to play also a year later. Customers should expect improvements via patches, not getting a worse game over time.

Spot on and people like me who have busy lives and can't play Destiny religiously. I bought the limited edition for $125AUD then a year later the game comes out again FREE bundled with DLC and expansion for $99 AUD.  Why not also release a cheaper version which is just the DLC and expansion on a disc for $40-$50 AUD?  

The fact that they bundled the game in for free and not given a cheaper option for the extra content only has basiclaly made my original purchase of $125 worth $0. I can't even sell it because people will see that my version is obscolete. If there was an expansion disc only, then I could maybe sell that game for $30-$40 and they could buy the expansion for $40-50 and save $20-$30.
