It was a straightforward process that had little to no roadblocks at all. It isn’t like they just told people on the last possible day, it’s something that they talked about in the months leading up to release and reminded players of fairly often. Doing so kept all of your character progress, your gear, and stats, (even the season pass and expansions) and you could always continue playing on the last gen system if you so wanted to. When it comes to Destiny specifically, Bungie and Activision made it very clear that last gen players could get a digital version of the game for free before early January of last year. Some may feel like the old gen players are entitled about wanting an upgrade for when they switch to current gen and they’re trying to get out of the $30 that other Destiny players will have to fork over. It’s not even like this is the first game to stop supporting last gen consoles Mortal Kombat X danced around delaying the PS3 and 360 versions before WB finally cancelled it, and Black Ops 3’s last gen version just only has the multiplayer that comes with the disc and no single player content.

Both have been out for three years and now have multiple features and games that make them well worth the price, and they’re both now much more affordable than they were at the beginning of their life cycle. On one hand, you could say that last gen players should’ve sucked it up by now and gone to a current console.
