What about ODST? Haven't we been here before? (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.

In Halo 3's heydey, I had purchased all the available DLC at the time.

Then ODST was announced, and with it, a disc containing all the maps I had already paid for.

I don't recall being mad when the original $40 price went to $60.

I don't recall being mad that I was basically buying content twice. (For the record, I also wasn't mad when the heroic map pack went free, I was happy that more people would have it, though I'll admit I waited a tad longer to buy other DLC, in the hopes that it might be free a few months later)

So, without splitting hairs here and going as "apples to apples" as we reasonably can, isn't the Taken King pretty much the same deal as ODST from 2009?
