Thank you to TuxyDoh for making me aware of it. I've missed it initially.
They realize that if the core gameplay is fun, and the DLC is a good value...things like this dont get noticed because everyone buys the DLC and is happy...
Not saying its not shady but the only reason things like this are gaining traction is that the community is pissed off over a boring game and looking to trash bungie...and this is great ammo to do that because it is shady.
Just sayin....
