I don't get the outrage (Destiny)

The outrage is justified when it's sketchy practices. Some do care. You don't, I kind of don't, but have given up on getting everything since some are pay walled. But as pointed out they abuse the FOMO, aka basic human psychology to get extra payments. It's also just a terrible trend that NOT FREE games are using the same model as free games such as Fornite and Apex. In those it made sense, even if a bit too high in my opinion, because the game was free so you bought the things you wanted to give them some money for the game you enjoyed. But when I pay full price and you still try to milk it, that's a problem and not a trend we want to see continue.

As you said, it's their business and they can run it. But at some point, anti-consumer practices if not illegal, and some are, are downright disrespectful to the person who is paying and that's the problem. Whether you engage in it or not.
