Really cheapLEY? F***ing really? (Destiny)

The gaming community blows your mind? Gosh, how could people possibly have a problem with paying extra on top of their minimum $60 game?

But that content wasn't IN the $60 game. It is now, and you have to pay for it. How is that wrong?

Don't act like I'm some "entitled gamer" whinging 'cause I want free stuff. Microtransactions in paid games are abhorrent. They mean resources that could be used elsewhere being wasted on paid content. Or they mean content that should be included in the game being portioned up and sold separately. Either way they cheapen the art of the game.

I don't see how it means that at all. I hate the "that should have been included in the game" argument. It's stupid. It's like saying all the map packs that came out for Halo should have been included in the game from the start.

The fact is, the new emotes weren't in the game. You wouldn't have had them anyway if they didn't release them as paid content. So now you still won't have them. You are affected zero percent, you can't convince me otherwise.

If Destiny was free, I'd be a-okay with Microtransactions (devs have to make money somehow, and cosmetics are a great way to fund a free-to-play game). But I've already paid for Destiny. Twice. Plus £70 of DLC.

How is that relevant? I don't care how many times you bought the game. That's on you, not Bungie.
