Don't tempt them! (Destiny)

...So it's not "selling cosmetics for money" that bothers you, it's just how they package them apparently.

In some sense. If not, I'd be barred from any new game at all essentially, since they all have preorder bonuses now.

So, what's so bad about it then? I, personally, would much rather have the option to individually buy - or ignore - cosmetic items that don't affect the game at all. I have a really hard time understanding why someone would think that is a wholly unacceptable way to offer things that some people care about but others obviously don't...?

Yeah, same here. I didn't want to buy the Arkham City fancy edition that came with a bunch of crap + bonus skins (a package I think Cody would be cool with if I understand correctly), but I DID buy the bonus skins on their own (which Cody is against) when they went on sale later because I really wanted to play as Batman Beyond.

I don't get why giving the consumer more options is a bad thing. It helped me out in this situation. :/
