I think arguing that a patent shows intent is questionable, with how often patents are aquired for holding purposes. Not that they don't have intent to use it, this is Activision, just that I don't think having a patent is illustrative of that.

And someone can correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have hard data) but i'm pretty sure that in most cases the target of something like this is going to already be predisposed to the purchase of said microtransactions, as generally pushy tactics aren't what sells small, repeated items.

I accept that I may be giving this too much a slippery slope fallacy, yet I find that this idea was even pitched at all is already too much.
