Look, I'm anti micro transactions (Destiny)

With any luck the public outcry will keep this away

lol

That's not how this works. This is how it works:

(News comes out Game Company might do Bad Thing)
Person A: "Wow, this is troubling"
Person B: "Game Company would never do this, stop being negative"

(Game Company does Bad Thing)
Person A: "Wow, this sucks"
Person B: "No it doesn't, it's a Good Thing and you need to like it or leave it, hater"

Anyone who has endorsed or condoned microtransactions in Destiny shouldn't really have any ground (or reason) to criticize this patent though: if you've accepted that microtransactions are a Good Thing, why would it be a Bad Thing for Bungie to encourage people to buy them surreptitiously? Of course in this case we'll probably never know if/when this get implemented in whatever game we're playing.

Look I think buying/selling ice cream is A+, but if I saw some ice cream person "surreptitiously" selling ice cream, that would be unnerving and... not good.
