Expired Code: Destiny 1 The Taken King Legendary Edition

Purchased a new PS4 copy of Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition on 11-23-18 from Kohl's and the downloadable content (DLC) code inside has been expired for over a year (valid 9-15-15 to 9-15-17). Kohl's cannot replace the product with a working DLC code because there are no working DLC codes left to provide -- they've all expired due to Bungie setting an expiration date of 9-15-17. This means that the Destiny product, a brand new and unopened copy, is rendered defective upon consumer purchase. Nowhere on the packaging of this product is there a disclaimer or notice that the product expires at a definite date. Seeing as this expiration and product design is Bungie/Activision's doing, the deceptive marketing is effectively a form of fraud, which is disappointing to say the least. I called Sony support and they confirmed that the DLC code was unused but expired on 11-2-18. Since it is a third party code (managed through Bungie/Activision), it is not in Sony's responsibility to replace the code. Upon looking into Bungie/Activision for support, multiple Activision cases conclude that Bungie is explicitly responsible for the handling of these DLC codes. Therefore, these codes are handled and replaced through Bungie. Activision support cases indicating Bungie is responsible for handling and replacing expired codes: https://community.activision.com/t5/Activision-Support/I-bought-the-Limited-Edition-of-Destiny-only-to-find-the-codes/td-p/9869222 https://community.activision.com/t5/Activision-Support/You-guys-gave-me-an-expired-code-through-Amazon-of-Destiny-the/m-p/9751560 https://community.activision.com/t5/Activision-Support/Code-expired-for-destiny-while-I-was-on-military-leave/td-p/9768968 I have attempted to find a support phone number for Bungie, but they do not have one. Therefore, these forums are the only place to seek help with resolving this issue. I would appreciate the help of Bungie in acquiring the content paid for in this new copy of Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition. Thank you.

  • Hello, I’m sorry but you’ve been given false information. Bungie does not produce nor handle codes. If your code was expired then it is up to the retailer to refund or replace the goods as they were sold defective. Bungie cannot give you replacement codes.
