Obviously me, and many, many others

You can still acquire all of the content by IN GAME MEANS in single player. As for Mass Effect it is not a competitive multiplayer, so it doesn't matter. The day that it becomes REQUIRED to purchased additional materials to either complete the single player or get extra guns in COMPETITIVE multiplayer (Halo, Battlefield, CoD etc.) is the day that I will damn micro transactions to hell.
Lol. So if it takes 200 years to unlock the content, it's okay because you don't technically have to pay to get it?
Of course not. This clearly becomes problematic at some point. But it probably isn't a single point; it would be bizarre if it was totally okay until a certain point, after which it was suddenly totally not okay. It's got to be something more continuous; that is, it becomes more problematic as you push back the points of item acquisition.
The binary line of "as long as it's not technically required to spend money" seems like a strange and very impractical standard.
