How Bungie will pay for Destiny

NONE of those are microtransactions. Well... maybe you could count 'extensions to in-game services', depending on what that actually means.

But outside services? Those aren't microtransactions. Microtransactions are small-priced (hence the name) in-game (non-physical) purchases that augment the experience. The stuff listed up there is completely outside the game itself.

I don't necessarily exclude things from being classified as a micro transaction just because, to use your terms, it isn't 'In game (non-physical)'. Things like services that effect the game experience I would consider micro transactions, including things like Bungie Pro.

In fact, Bungie Pro will only work with Destiny (for the time being) since Bungie doesn't control Halo anymore.
