I'm not going to explain it to you. Go take economics and you'll understand. It's optional you -blam!-ing idiot

Yes, insulting me and using curse words is strengthening your position. I see now how I state facts, and am obviously wrong, because you say so, and can insult and curse.

No it's because you lack common knowledges or normal business practices No point in discussing this with someone like you.

The problem with arguing with someone on the forums, and insulting them, is that you don't know who you're arguing with. I'm college educated, and have taken macro, and micro economics courses. I understand quite well how economics work. I also made no claim bungie was a charity. I understand they're a business and out to maximize profit. But your argument is not a fact based argument, just a bunch of insults on how I don't understand, am stupid, and so on, because I don't agree with your opinion. My statement is charge more for the game, make it subscription based, or something to that effect. Micro transactions are bad for consumers, and bad for games. It's been proven over and over again. Think, this is the only business model of its kind, simply because gamers buy in to it. You don't buy a refrigerator, then have to buy upgrades for it 2-3x a year, then pay every time you want it to dispense ice cubes. Use any product you want as an analogy. I should be able to pay the cost upfront, and not be poked continually for more money to get access to in game content. For the record as long as this remains cosmetic I could care less. But it never just stays cosmetic... never.
