It's basically a GotY edition, it's nothing new. (Destiny)

My only beef with Taken King is Bungie's (or Activision's, whoever, I don't care which) screwing people hard on the pricing in my opinion. Oh, you don't own the game or any of the DLC yet? Well, pay $60 and you can get everything, including Taken King!

But as for you... we see that you already purchased Destiny and the DLC. You've given us at least $95 already, assuming you've been a day one purchaser. How's $40 more sound for Taken King? I guess what we're saying is, go fuck yourself.

I really don't see this as that big of a deal. The Collector's Edition, sure that's a big deal because the digital one costs the same as the physical without the physical loot, and includes rewards you can't get any other way so you have to buy it if you want "everything". But the pricing of The Taken King makes perfect sense. Destiny RIGHT NOW is $27 on Amazon, even with both expansions for $35, that's barely over $60 for the base game and the expansions. This is no different than companies coming out with a "Game of the Year" edition of the game. We got a year with the game (and I personally put more than 700 hours into the game), that's why we paid more. If I didn't think it was worth the ~$100 I already paid I certainly wouldn't buy The Taken King for $40, but since I do, I don't begrudge them enticing new people to buy the game with a lower price of entry.
