People aren't objecting to valid uses of the model (Destiny)

So because sequels have this problem, it's negligible for expansions to have it, even though expansions are much more frequent and have the problem worse?
Which means an alternative cosmetic microtransactions pay for free expansions model is bad because... They could use a different model with a different distribution scheme and a different pattern of revenue generation with different advantages and disadvantages to hopefully release the same content.
You can say "Well I still dislike that" without holding onto the reasoning that it makes a game worse, full stop, no exceptions, because uh. Kinda seems like you hit a corner where your logic isn't so clearcut.
Because now it's "How the disadvantages of microtransactions in the game weigh against the advantages of free expansions with guaranteed availability", which comes down to something that most people would think depends on context. And opinion.
Yaaaaay
