Microtransactions in a game that already cost players $120 is highway robbery. This game has made more money than any other game in history and has one of the smaller development teams compared to the user base in the industry. There is literally no reason for microtransactions to be in this game other than greed. They don't add anything to it other than to make it worse, distract from the core purpose of the game and now Year 2 has turned to sh** because of them. Why create any meaningful content when you can make just as much money putting out emotes? They're here to stay because of people like you who are ruining the gaming industry. Bungie gave no indication they were going to have microtransactions in this game even up to TTK's release, which means that they got players to sink thousands and thousands of hours into this game and hooked into a game they wanted to put the next 10 years of their life into. To do the old switcharoo and drop them on their customer base midway is f***ed. Now if they had been honest and said at the very beginning that eventually they would have microtransactions then yeah by all means but people were not allowed to make an informed buying decision on this. NO EXCUSE FOR MICROTRANSACTIONS IN A $60 RETAIL GAME. Don't tell me it's because they have to maintain servers because From Software is still maintaining it's servers on Demon's Souls and they aren't charging for that.

  • Oh you won't hear the argument of it's for servers or dlc and the like from me. It's just to make money, it's what business's do. Apparently that's evil these days. You're just mad because you don't like it. You think that there should be more focus on another area, got it. But it's just whiney to complain about it. They literally do nothing to you. It has also become a staple of gaming even before next gen came out. Just like season passes and dlc. I will agree that Bungie is not as open as they should be. But it's all stategy and marketing etc., and a shitty one IMO. Point stands that it's here to stay and is not new. You don't have to like it, just understand that. It's what gaming is now. Release-->DLC/season pass-->maybe more content, micro's for sprinkling on top. You either enjoy it, buy it if you want, or ignore it and play your game. Be mad all you want, just understand that. Also props for bringing up Demon Souls! I think it's a vastly different game than mmo or shared world shooter or what ever you want to call this. To be honest with you when Dark Souls 3 comes out I'll be all in on that game like I have the past ones, which had dcl btw. Hope you're not mad I ordered the collectors addition :)
