So just because some random guy says "I got my money's worth" I should just accept this offensive marketing tactic and stop playing? Do you like puppies?

You should stop playing

But why?! I loved this game! I beta tested the darn thing and purchased both of the first two DLCs. Why should I give up on it? I'm upset that my loyalty and input was reduced to near nothing. Let me give you an analogy: Say a man came up to you and offered a magic puppy for $60. The puppy was low maintenance and very peppy. When you buy it and take it home, you find out its not very well trained but love it anyways. Occasionally the seller would appear and offer you its favorite toys. In good faith you buy the toys and the dog becomes more fun. As it grows older and slower, the seller comes again and promises to make it peppy and fun again. The day he promises to come with the "update" the dog is instead injected with a chemical that makes it almost a comatosely sluggish. He then says you have to pay him to reverse it AND give the promised update. What would you do in that situation?

Don't bother with this one, mate. I'm amazed his farts still make a sound considering how much he cozies up to Bungie.
