You knew your options; you made your choice (Destiny)

You had plenty of time to pick which version you wanted.

That's one mighty big assumption on your part. I'm still running Destiny on a seven year old 360 and could not have spent the extra money to buy a new console when Destiny came out.

Apologies, I'd genuinely forgotten it was on the older consoles too. My bad.

Now you're just being dumb. Destiny is Destiny. There is no such thing as Destiny+

Not in name, but there is. It's the Playstation version. It's literally Destiny (basic, vanilla, whatever) +extras. At the very least there are two versions (Destiny Xbox and Destiny Playstation) and they are mutually exclusive - You can't play the extra content on Xbox and you can't get a version without that content on PS4.

and I'm certainly not buying Destiny and hoping to magically get a different game. At least be sensible.

You kind of are though. On a much less ridiculous scale, admittedly. But you're buying a version of Destiny you know isn't the Playstation version, then complaining that it isn't the Playstation version.

Like others have said - a valid complaint can be made against the business practice as a whole (I'm not a fan, personally), but it's not "unfair". It's frustrating, it fractures the playerbase, and it has the potential to negatively affect the game. But it's not unfair. You knew what you were and weren't getting well in advance, and no one forced you to buy the version you did get (even if it was the only version available to you). No one pulled wool over your eyes, or swept the rug out from under you. They said "This is the thing you can buy. It doesn't come with this though" and you said "Yes please, I'll buy that thing".
