[quote]Secondly, the Kotaku article detailed a very different picture of Destiny's development than you're painting here. Yes, Destiny's story was chopped up late in the development process, and yes some of the pieces did end up being paid DLC, but the intention behind that is key. They didn't set out to specifically cut content just to sell it later, that was simply an after effect of that last minute edit. And don't for a second be naive enough to believe that other game companies don't hold back content from vanilla versions of their games to sell as DLC. It's a common practice. Third, microtransactions are overblown as these horrible things, yet they're providing absolutely zero competitive advantage. None. Many games use microtransactions with no issue to overall gameplay (even Mass Effect 3, another Activision-published game that you used as a [i]positive[/i] example). There just isn't any evidence to support the claim that microtransactions are a problem.[/quote] This mentality is the problem. We allow these companies to walk on us. I want to play Bungies IP. If that means higher prices for games, so be it. But nickels and dimes add up.
