I dont hate video games and I dont want them to die either but, I can care less about this particular decision on this version of microtransactions. If they were to just as a 'Donate' button on the site to help support them and the game then that is also their choice. Like twitch tv, you can watch for free or subscribe to a channel to use emoji's in chat, or you can donate. All optional. Right now, there is no change to structure when its just emotes. If they ever go beyond that then yes we can come back to this and discuss how they made a huge mess of things. I'll buy an emote or two if that will promote them to add more freakin strikes to the playlist or even add more side story missions here and there to tell more of the destiny story. Im only concerned about where my money is going, not yours. If someone doesnt want to buy an emote then so be it. If I want to spend a bit of my money on one, then I shouldnt have to catch flak from someone else who didnt work for my money.
