Whether you agree with him, or disagree, you completely gloss over the fact that what the op has stated is true... to a point. They said cosmetic only, they made it a big deal to point out that it would only go as far as cosmetic. But like I've tried pointing out to some, it always starts with something simple to get people to accept the fact. Then a another little push happens. Everyone stated through out the forums, it's just cosmetic so stfu. Now it's just stupid consumables. Next it will just be stupid shaders, then stupid sparrows, then stupid ships, then other consumables. You are fed little bits to get you to say well that isn't so bad. There are many examples through life that show this happening outside video games. If you choose not to see it, or choose not to care that's fine. But to tell him he's being stupid (or implying it), when he brings up a valid point, shows you are falling in to a corporate trap. The only clear example of microtransactions being implemented in to a game you pay for ahead of time is gta5. The rest will sell you everything in an effort to make even more money. If you don't believe bungie/activision is looking at the money this seasonal event is raking in, and planning something to push the boundary just a little more, then you my friend are blind. And sorry if you see this as a personal attack, that is not my intent.
