Microtransactions can be good. (Destiny)

That's where time becomes an issue. This wasn't "on disc" content that was locked until they decided to "release" it. This is totally new content that was released in installments over the course of about a year. So if the question is "would I prefer to play the game that shipped with micro transactions and get all the added content as it was completed, or wait a year and get it all in 1 chunk?" My answer is the former. Specifically because I enjoy playing a game over a long period of time and having the experience of seeing things change and grow as new stuff gets added. But I totally see how you might prefer the opposite.

Yeah. I prefer my games to be tight, already fully formed and not needing to evolve and change. When I want change, I simply buy a new game ;-p
