I'm always surprised how precious some people can be when it comes to games. So you see an emblem on a map and immediately assume there is content that was shipped on the disc and then hidden behind a paywall? You guys do know that when you make a game it's a long and involved process called "iteration" ... It's not uncommon for entire portions of a game to be basically done and in a playable form but the studio is not happy enough to actually ship the content for whatever reason. Maybe the UI needs improvements, maybe there's portions of an encounter that the design team aren't happy with, maybe the loot doesn't yet exist? Maybe it needs to be Quality Assured first by testers and the buys ironed out, that process alone takes months! Maybe it needs certification from Sony/Microsoft, that process too can take months! In order to have DLC out as early as three months from the release of the game you would need to have started working on that content many months before release. You could easily have created all the art assets and even populated the areas with placeholder enemies (which is what you probably see when you glitch into the content). That doesn't equal content that's been removed and hidden behind a paywall. To also address the "9.5mb" patch "proof", it means nothing. It could just be the changes from testing, certification, bug fixes or missing assets that Bungie were waiting on, I mean why not ship what you've already done on the disc to save people having to download more content? That's smart if you ask me! Destiny also downloads it's own patches, so this could just be the game executable being patched to link to the full download of the DLC, so it's nowhere near proof! If we as gamers want top quality content then studio's are going to have to plan and develop many months if not years before delivering the content. To put your head in the sand and believe that content was removed from the game is to be not just ignorant, but perpetually angry at reality. This endless obsession with "conspiracy" against gamers is ridiculous, the alternative is you just don't get DLC content at all, and no that doesn't mean it would be included in the original game, because it wouldn't be.
