Luke Smith sounds completely out of touch, but he's representing the directives and values of his employer and its business partners, e.g. Bungie and probably more accurately, Activision. I think most people don't understand what a publisher does, it's likely they're primarily responsible for the pricing and packaging structure we're seeing on offer here. I really think the direction to avoid the questions or try to otherwise justify the collectors edition shennanigans is coming from Activision. $40 is ok for TTK expansion. I feel fine being asked for $40 for TTK. I even don't mind the $60 version that has $135 worth of content. I understand there's a cost associated with being an early adopter. I really just wish they'd offer the collectors edition items in a way that doesn't require owners of TDB and HOW to have to spend $20 to repurchase old content, and I think that's most people's gripe. Oh and also, charging $80 for the digital collectors edition, the same price as the physical one that has significantly more value, is underhanded and ridiculous.
