A few points... (Destiny)

There are a ton of really good games that don't charge the consumer AT ALL for minor content updates, and they're able to do that because they're competent at both money management and game development. When you start charging the consumer extra for things that other devs offer for free (eg. Cosmetics in a non-F2P game), it shows either incompetence or greed.

I really don't like this attitude. So what if other developers do it? That's not a good justification for something. Is it nice that other developers offer small things for free? Absolutely! (The Witcher 3 is a great example of this.) Is it bad if another developer chargers for their work? Not at all.

In games that aren't Free to play, why would they give you free shit? You already bought their game, you got the full product. To expect more to be added to the game at no additional cost to you seems a little ridiculous, whether that be a major content addition, or a shader, or weapon skin, or whatever it happens to be.
