Here you go pookie. You wont be able to get a snack after school, but you can get you some of those emotes you wanted for Christmas.

I don't see the point in the moral outrage, but hey - it's the Internet! If you don't want to buy cosmetics, don't. I landed in the tower, thought the candles everywhere look as shite as last year, sidestepped all the mooks dancing in stupid masks, got my bounties and went off and played as normal. Will bungie or Activision care? Probably not

You're right, but it's nothing to be proud of. Like "oh wow, I don't spend money! Look at me. I'm one of the cool kids." I'm not sure why people try to impress others on the internet. Only cats can do that.

Damn don't all games do micros now

What gets me is when people complain about microtransactions in a game that they play. It isn't just the money that keeps the game alive but the amount of active players versus the investment and goals they have set for the game. Say for instance this DLC was suppose to make x amount of cash on release day as well as this amount of targeted players active during release. Obviously the cash will outweigh the players starting up the new DLC. However if they see the number is over the expected target goal then they will have exceeded their market value and expectations of the game. Now if the overall amount of active players is steady from the release date to whenever they set another DLC or new game they will have succeeded in creating a profitable game. They will also look at tye revenue generated from release date to said set goal date. If they annually make money from these microtransactions they will see that their marketing techniques are working for their investments. This can be good or bad. If you want to stop this I'll give my opinion below on how you can go about this act. Now to stop this act is to simply STOP playing the game. STOP doing anything related to the game, i.e. going on the forums of said game. This doesn't promote your cause to ending microtransactions in a game. It just adds a number to their marketing value. When the company sees a drop in game activity they will try sales, new mirco purchases and even new events to try and reel back players into their game. Just don't log in during the periods of these events. Also don't boycott on their sites or forums it just adds fuel to their fire. Once the company sees their new event idea did not generate enough revenue or player activity they will look to see how they can fix or manage their game that is slowly dying. Keep away from the game even if they decide to make mircotransactions a non-factor. Also don't buy their next new installment because they won't change unless they see that the mircotransactions are actually killing their market. As of right now mircotransactions are making Destiny popular and more relevent. You may not support buying anything in game but your log in hours support their overall money vs player investment. And logging on their forums just gives them even more means to spread their market value. If it generates money and fanbase it will stay. If money is made but fanbase is on a steady decline they will start to worry. Then once fanbase steeps low they will lose money regardless of in game purchases. Unless a millionaire decides to dumb money in the game. Mircotransactions can be removed from a game by player request but they have to show it. And writing a post about it on their game forums won't do a damn thing but maybe make you feel special. I personally don't mind microtransactions in games as long as the players can earn said thing in game. Or if said thing does not promote pay to win. The only exception would be like special donations to a fundraising event said game is holding. Anyways I will not be replying back to most or any responders. This is just my two cents behind this matter. Feel free to read it and complain below if it makes you feel better. Have a good day guardians and remember T-bags make tea, whether that tea is sweet or not is up to you.

Bump. I will never support the implementation of microtransactions into AAA titles. It's a pathetic trend and anyone who buys into it is an asshat for fueling the fire and degrading gaming for the rest of us.

It's just a game, who cares. Calm down German, you have more important things to worry about, I'm sure.

Signed and proud. Degenerates paying for silver can't foresee the next. Look at last year micros compared to this year. They're doing it slowly so you never notice.
