MORE MICROTRANSACTIONS COMING TO DESTINY 2

Up thru Foresaken we have paid $140 so far for Destiny 2 and somehow it's not enough for Activision. Including Destiny 1 if you bought everything so far (not including year 2 season pass) we have spent $180 on destiny 1 and $140 on destiny 2. That's a total of $320 in 5 years of destiny. If on average most companies realeased 2 games in that time costing $60 each with a dlc with each game at a cost of $40 each (being generous here, most games dlcs are $20 and bungies "expansions" are more like dlcs). That would mean a normal company would receive $200 in 5 years. Destiny has received $320 in the same time period (not including the dummies that actually spend money on microtransactions, it's a loot game you shouldn't have to pay extra money in microtransactions for the main thing everyone plays it for. No cosmetics should be locked behind a paywall for that reason) So in the same period of time as any other publisher or developer they want even more money from us and they have already earned more than any other developer would charge us for the same content. Destiny expansions and games have been historically very small. They should be called dlc bc most expansions don't have enough content to actually be considered an expansion. So basically Activision isn't happy with Destiny 2 thus far and so they are making Bungie add more microtransactions to Destiny 2 in order to compensate for lost revenue. (They haven't actually lost money on destiny. They still have made a nice profit it's apparently just not nice enough for them). Sadly they don't realize that is going to drive even more players away and they will make even less money by adding more microtransactions. They may have higher revenue when they release microtransactions but in the long run they will lose money bc they will drive consumers away with microtransactions. Look at EA's shareholders price of stock currently. It's down over 33% bc of all the microtransaction BS they have been pulling on their consumers and it's finally catching up to them. Now Activision wants to do the same thing. Are they stupid? Don't they realize more microtransactions will drive more players away? Please leave your gamertag and system in the comments as a form of protest against Activision monetizing more of the game. We already have paid enough money to play all the content. It has to be the most expensive game in history. To get what we wanted in Destiny 2 we had to wait a year to get things that should of been implented at the start of d2. They charged us $140 to do what should of cost us $60. Now I like destiny but I will not buy a single microtransaction so Activision gets the picture. YOU CANT MONETIZE A GAME AND ADD MICROTRANSACTIONS WHEN PLAYERS HAVE PAID $140 SO FAR FOR DESTINY 2 AND YOU'RE ALREADY ASKING FOR ANOTHER $40 FOR THE SEASON PASS? WE HAVE PAID MORE FOR THIS GAME THEN ANY GAME IN HISTORY AND ITS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU. ITS TIME US PLAYERS SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH TO ACTIVISION! WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THE MONETIZATION OF DESTINY 2 BC ITS ENTIRELY ABOUT GREED! THEYVE MADE A PROFIT THEY DONT NEED TO MILK THE CONSUMERS FOR EVERUTHING THEY HAVE!!! LETS STICK IT TO THEM GUARDIANS!!! If you want a different take here is Laymen Gaming talking about Activision adding more microtransactions to Destiny 2 https://youtu.be/BpjftbnvaSY
