Wow... Microtransactions
I'm going to join the outraged salt mongerers on this one. Paying for emotes is ok, but it will encourage bad behavior from Activision. [b][i][u]IF[/u][/i][/b] it funded future Dlcs(making them free) then I would be fine with it, however this is simply annoying.
Bungie has made more than enough money already that they have already funded their [b]ten year plan[/b].
First evolve, now this...
Let's just hope they don't add an "energy" mechanic where you have to wait for a timer after doing an activity (checkpoint in raid) or you can fork over a dollar so you don't have to wait an hour to continue the raid.
TLDR: bungie has already made more money then the funding they needed for their ten year plan, I'm losing hope for destiny

Kotaku reported the micro transactions and the idea that it was funding future content. They were correct about the first, I fully expect them to be correct about the second seeing as its from the same source.

1 ReplyProbably why they took away the nightfall buff, so they can sell it as DLC

Here we go again. This is activision folks. Accept it or don't. Unless the gear or emotes affect actual in-game activity... Then they can sell whatever they want for real world money or otherwise.

Uh, all new content will be free until fall, as stated by bungie

2 RepliesThe micro transactions dont impact the game in any way. Grow up, stop overreacting to every little change in the game until you take at least one minute to think about the information. It effects the game 0% . Its just cosmetic stuff for funzies. Personally, i dont plan to buy them. But if someone wants to, hey, its their money to waste. And since it doesn't change my game at all, i sat go for it.

[quote]Bungie has made more than enough money already that they have already funded their ten year plan[/quote] Just chiming in real quick, Destiny does not have a 10 year plan, as far as this game itself goes. Its different. [quote]In the latest issue of Edge, Bungie community and marketing relations manager Eric ‘Urk’ Osborne reveals a ten-year agreement does exist, but it's not quite what you think: "Those things were so distracting, and not about the experience we were creating," he says in the latest issue of Edge. "It just became the narrative. I mean, I drive a Honda Civic. I don’t know shit about $500 million. A ten-year plan? It’s a ten-year partnership agreement. It has nothing to do with the development of the game proper. To think that somehow, before Destiny had shipped, we had some ten-year plan written down somewhere? It’s comical. We allowed the narrative to get constructed that Bungie is just a corporate entity and not a bunch of humans, a collection of people who are just trying to make a really great game."[/quote]
