Microtransactions can be good. (Destiny)

by CyberKN , Oh no, Destiny 2 is bad, Wednesday, July 22, 2015, 14:54 (3511 days ago) @ Ragashingo

Except the game mode WAS fun. All your theorizing doesn't hold up when the game is actually fun to play moment to moment and day to day.

The game mode was fun. The RNG grind was not.

A lot of people have voiced the question of why Destiny doesn't have similar micro-transactions, given the way it's loot and xp system is designed. It has all the hallmarks(good and bad) of the classic F2P model, but the payment option is missing.
