I'm sure you all know about the World Record "DownVote" Thread on Reddit about Microtransactions in EA's Battlefront II ... Well, thanks to Disney (owners of Star Wars IP) and the Gaming Community, EA has removed *ALL MICROTRANSACTIONS* from SW BF 2. All rewards are earned by in-game skill and play-time.
This is unprecedented as EA is the largest game company (publisher/producer/developer) in the world. Even more than Activision (contracting Bungie atm); so we as fans can overtake this. We can start our own rebellion against Activision and Bungie and win just as handedly. The truth is out there. We have won 1 war. We can win another...

*facepalm* Obviously poster you didn't read or pay attention to what was actually going on. EA was exhibiting practices of pay-to-win on Star Wars Battlefront 2, and there was a huge uproar by the community of the ridiculous play times it took for players to unlock heroes, and hero star cards through loot crates in the game. Destiny is not a pay-to-win game. The microtransactions in Destiny are purely cosmetic for shaders, ships, sparrows, and flashy armor pieces which you then have to infuse to make useful. I'm very okay with this, and I even understand it. It is a money maker for Bungie, and if players wanna buy a ship or a few shaders from eververse I quite honestly could not give less of a damn. Destiny's microtransactions are no different than Overwatch. And this is okay. If Bungie/Activision ever try to implement pay-to-win in Destiny, this community would absolutely lose its sh*t. I would hope that video game companies were watching what happened with the Star Wars game and took notes of what not to do.
