David “Deej” Dague wrote at length to address some of the complaints about Destiny: The Taken King and the Collector's Edition, where gamers would have to completely re-buy the entire game in order to gain access to some of the new emotes and certain player trinkets. Dague states...

Fast forward to right now, and we're at the Bungie Weekly Update where they're now capitulating to the desires of the fans.
