And listen, I think it's cool that Bungie is adding new stuff each season. I honestly think that if you could not buy bright engrams, but only earn them through exp, I would LOVE this. It's the spectre of those people who cannot help themselves and who are being taken advantage of that ruins it for me. I've seen what addiction does to you. It's horrible. I would not wish it on anyone. And I'm disgusted that abusing addiction is considered acceptable as a business model for video games. For me, at least, it taints the experience in a negative light.

I don't know why people are focuses so hard on spending money as addiction when there are just as many addictive qualities with playing to many hours of games getting those bright engrams.

One can argue that it's easier and more pervasive to use money instead of time, which I am inclined to agree with. But it's kind of bothers me that a vast majority of people are just skipping over the the other side of the coin.
