I think a much better analogy would be: I bought Microsoft office 1997. Now they want to sell me the "same stuff" with slightly updated features. They are just being greedy! But, now I can't open new files because my software is outdated. How could a company deny me the right to use new features that others paid for, when I refuse to pay for those same features?!!! Bungie did the same thing that most software developers do when updating their software. They provide support and backwards compatibility (I.e. aetheric light) to allow those of us that didn't purchase the DLC to continue playing the game. They didn't HAVE to. They were not REQUIRED to. Now, they did the same thing that software devs do when a system gets to old. They make a new/updated version (Destiny 2.0) and sell it. And when a game makes that big of a leap, they can't just throw in fully functional backwards compatibility like its no big deal. If bungie were to release an item equivalent to aetheric light with TTK, nothing would change. The year one OP weapons would remain OP. The year one OP armor would remain OP. All of the time they took to balance weapon classes, and armor perks would go to waste because everyone would stick to their old gear. TTK is an upgrade and as such costs money. Sure they moved some features around and made it harder to access older content, but no year 1 players lost content. You didn't get a "nightfall" strike at launch; you bought access to play a set number of strikes currently in the game. You can still play all of them, you didn't lose access to them.
