It's not like it's a broken promise. (Destiny)
So many people are being unreasonable. You are not owed anything when you buy the game except the game. When the game releases, and you pay for it, you will have it. This massive culture around being rewarded with little trinkets and other nonsense for preordering is unhealthy. You're buying the finished game.
Bungie never promised how long the beta was, what it would include, or when it would be. It's a perk, like you said yourself. The final game will be improved, and without a time limit. If the beta is anything like the alpha, you'll have seen all there is to see by day two anyway. This entire thing is just a method for Destiny to have record breaking pre-order numbers for a new IP so Activision can brag about it, which they've already done.
It is not a betrayal. You're getting what you paid for. Anything extra, like getting to play the game before the release date, is icing on the cake. It's not worth getting mad over.
I'm more concerned about what parts of the DLC are locked behind timed exclusives
