What in the actual fuck? Am I reading this right?

So if you already laid down $60 for their game (which, arguably, was extremely light on content), and $40 for their two "expansions" (which, factually, were extremely light on content), if you buy the $40 TTK expansion, you don't get the digital extras people get if they buy the $80 edition (half the cost you've paid).

So their "apology" is to sell you some shaders and a few items for $20? God damn. I am beginning to think Destiny is some sort of social experiment from game publishers just to see how much shit they can get away with.

No. Their apology is to give us a way to _not_ have to shell out $60 just to play TTK, now we can pay just $40. This $40 version also gives us some swag.  Before if we wanted the digital collectors edition swag we had to shell out $80, now we can pay just $60 and get all the things.

$40 is the cheapest way to get into TTK and arguably a fairly _normal_ price for what is indeed probably worth two expansions  It's what im going for.  I honestly don't care about extra fluff stuff in a failrly non-social game. There will be plenty of cool looking guns and items to strive for the regular way.

Well, how generous of them :P.

You got that wrong, it's not  

the chance to pay for even more content

It's

the change to pay even more for content

huh?
