Heh...do you pay for a can of soup to Potentially contain soup, or to actually contain soup as stated?

There's a difference between paying for ownership and paying for access. When you pay for a can of soup, you own it. When you paid for Destiny, you only own the disc and case. Digitally though, you paid to own a license. Neither of these mean you own the game itself so your point is moot. The only other part your money paid for was access, potential or immediate notwithstanding.
