Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

Bungie said in a Q&A, "We don't see this as a full price product"
Then MS whacked the price up to make it exactly that so Bungie included the MM disk to make up for it.
Not quite. If you go back and read some other weekly updates, the matchmaking disc has been included since before the price raise. However, you're making Bungie sound innocent. Yes, Microsoft believed it was worth $60 and originally, Bungie didn't. However, in time, Bungie also vocally supported this full charge, and even personally expressed regret in ever mentioning "expansion" or "$30." It's just as much Bungie's doing as it is Microsoft's.Bungie planned to have it like Halo Wars, where a code was in the box. Then MS said that there should be the whole MP experience. Then as a marketing ploy, they also said that they wouldn't be available as DLC. Later MS released those maps as DLC.
No one is to blame for uneducated purchases, but yourself.
