So, I was just thinking about Tress coming to hang out and sell us premium emotes for money. And how the Destiny community is for the most part accepting of it, provided that it is just cosmetic.
How strange though...
Months ago, Evolve came out and the gaming community shunned/attacked it because it had a ton of cosmetic content that were micro-transactions. The argument was, 'why not include it with the game if we're paying $60 bucks?'
But here we are, same story, different game, and almost no one seems to care cause it isn't pay-to-win and we get a free taste.
People are becoming dependent on Destiny and this addiction is allowing standards and practices that wouldn't fly in other games to run rampant.
Just food for thought!

My girlfriend bought me Evolve for my birthday and I returned it because I knew that it was going to have a play life of like 4 hours... I traded it in for Witcher 3, which was one of my better life choices. Putting micro-transactions into a game where you aren't going to get your money's worth in the first place just adds insult to injury. Many of us here at Destiny have been playing for over a year. I know I've gotten my money's worth out of this game. I've already gotten my money's worth out of this expansion... So if they want to toss in cosmetic microtransactions... so be it. If they want to milk a little money out of me for a new sweet weapon... well then I guess I'm ok with that too.
