Obviously me, and many, many others

My thoughts exactly, micro transitions are fine if they are the "unlock everything / this item early type things. if you don’t have time to commit to a game, or if you simply have a low attention span then fine, unlock early and pay the premium. But imagine some lovely future when you play though the game and beat the boss only to then realise you need to pay $2 to buy the actual last mission on a game you just spent $50 on.
And that is when it becomes bad, until that day however I really don't give a damn. Let those who want to pay to skip ahead do so.
