Confused... (Destiny)

You're mostly right... the whole thing is kinda silly, but there were (and still are) some legitimate sticking points that people were upset about:

1. Us gamers like collecting all the things and the only way to get those armor shaders and whatever else was to buy content we already owned. More specifically, the special bonus extras only came with the Legendary or Collector editions which both included full version of Destiny itself. It's pretty natural to want a way to collect the bonus items without also being forced to rebuy the game already sitting on/in our consoles.

This has been more or less solved by allowing those who want it to spend $20 on those digital collectors items. Is $20 too much for a few emotes and items and shaders? Eh. That's up to you to decide for yourself, but it gives people a way to not rebuy stuff they already own...

2. Unless I'm mistaken, the digital and physical version of the Collector's edition are both $80 while one comes with lots of neat physical stuff and the other doesn't... It's kinda odd that Bungie can ship us a book and a Strange Coin and other physical things for the same price we can by a digital version of the game that doesn't include any physical things.

People were less angry over this... overall... and it remains and probably will remain unchanged.
