Doesn't comfort me in the least. (Destiny)

This thread is like backwards land for me. I'm absolutely against microtransactions and have thrown down with a bunch of people over player/consumer-hostile stuff in Destiny going back years. And yet here I am finding myself agreeing with Xenos and you and some others while disagreeing with others I tend to be siding with in these debates.
I would mostly just say that the slippery slope argument is turning out to be a fallacy because, at least in this thread, people are applying the slippery slope to the wrong thing. I don't see this going pay to win, and I don't think Bungie is actively against us. Activision on the other hand...
I seriously think it goes the more player-hostile routes of pay-not-to-play due to purposely bullshit game design to try to get you to spend money. Or deeper into the casino/addiction mentality that I feel Destiny has already been going down by potentially adding more lucrative or "rare" items (that won't lead to pay to win) to try to get people to RNG gamble away at getting them. That sucks and I'm totally against it, and it's already happening and will probably continue to go down that slippery slope to hell. I wonder if cool features will start getting paywalled.
Either way, we're in agreement for now! But at the end of the day, I have a nasty feeling that Activision is going to continue to assert a nasty influence on Bungie. And eventually, Bungie may just cave completely or lose all the people who refuse. I hope it doesn't come to that, but we'll see.
