The Microtransaction Method.

[b]Bungie:[/b] Hey guys, we thought it would be cool to introduce cosmetic emotes that you can buy for real money. There's no pressure though! [b]Player:[/b] Hmm sounds like a cash-grab, but as long as it doesn't affect how the game plays out I guess it's fine. [u]*1 DLC Later*[/u] [b]Bungieion:[/b] We were blown away by the positive feedback to Eververse's emotes! Now we are adding ships and shaders to purchase with Silver! [b]Player:[/b] I remember when you used to be able to [i]earn[/i] everything in this game. But it's all still cosmetic, so whatever. [u]*2 DLC's Later*[/u] [b]Bungievision:[/b] We have heard some people say they want exclusive Sparrows. They are coming soon to Eververse! [b]Player:[/b] Well, it's not going to have any real effect on PvP, so it's fair. [u]*Destiny 2 Releases*[/u] [b]Actibungie:[/b] It has come to our attention that some people can't get the right loot drops and are struggling to level up Light. Because of this, Tess will now sell Legendary and Exotic Armor Engrams for Silver. [b]Player:[/b] Everyone gets unlucky every once in a while! This is a great way to give everyone an equal chance to buy higher Light! [u]*3 DLC's Later*[/u] [b]Activisionie:[/b] Eververse will now sell exotic weapon engrams that drop exclusive guns you can't find anywhere else! [b]Player:[/b] Well, I guess you can already buy everything else in Destiny with real money! [u]*4 DLC's Later*[/u] [b]Activi$$$ion:[/b] It was a hard decision, but as a team we decided to ditch the current RNG-based loot system in favor of an all-microtansaction system. Each gun and armor piece must be purchased separately with Silver. [b]Player:[/b] Yay! Now I can finally get literally everything I want just by paying!! [u]*Destiny Expansion 2 Releases*[/u] [b]Activi$$$ionEA:[/b] Big news! We are pairing up with EA in addition to Bungie! Also, Destiny will now require a $20/month subscription fee. This is a dangerous game you are playing, Bungie. Do NOT let it get out of hand or you will lose many players like me who can see through your money-making schemes. Also, I shudder to think about this sinister implication: if what we are about to buy is called [i]Silver[/i], then what is... .... ....... ........... [i]GOLD??[/i]

          • We get it. Microtransactions are inherently evil and will always ruin a game and cannot exist without being at danger of selling power. Activision, EA and Bungie are totally so retarded that they would take things to this level. Yes, you are totally a hero of the masses with your brilliant insight and wits. You get em tiger!...

            • You know Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have had plenty of [u][b]OPTIONAL[/b][/u] cosmetic packs for a while now and no one complains about those. They are optional, don't like them then don't buy them.

                      • -blam!-ing mobile gaming is killing us... Once everyone buys silver, they'll introduce certain items that can only be bought with gold. And so it goes.
