You're not wrong . . . (Destiny)

It's ridiculous how some have responded to this, though. $20 was just over the top expensive and a rip off for The Dark Below or House of Wolves, apparently, but throw out some seven dollar emotes and people shit themselves and can't spend money fast enough . . .

This is the scary part about micro-transactions. It's sticker shock vs non-sticker shock. a few bucks here and there doesn't break the budget. But unplanned, $20 is enough to make you think twice.
