Im with OP on this one. Perhaps not quite as adamant but I personally am boycotting spending real money on this. Everyone is entitled to spend their hard earned money on whatever they wish. Just know that you are feeding into and supporting a practice that will only exasterbate itself in the future. If nobody bought this and everybody complained, then they would have no choice but to unmonetize it and make it part of the game. If its a big seller then that opens up the door for more. Its emotes now but next year it may also be shaders, sparrows, emblems and other cosmetic items that dont expressly affect gameplay. I respect Bungie. And Id say Ive gotten alot of entertainment for my 120bucks but I get thr feeling suits at Activision are sitting around thinking of any possible way to get just a few more dollars out of their investment. Which leads me to mention CD ProjektRed. The witcher 3 was published by WB games who dont mind price gouging for DLC as evidenced by Arkham Knights $40 season pass. Yet CDPR stood up for gamers and said $60 is a huge investment in a game and we should be rewarded by not being nickel and dimed even for "cosmetic items that have no effect on gameplay". They gave 16 pieces of DLC free to everyone. I rewarded their good gesture by buying the season pass($25 for two expansions totaling 30hrs of gameplay). Like I said im thoroughly enjoying TTK and have no regrets about my money invested in Destiny but I choose not to support this as its only gonna get worse. I urge you all to hold Bungie to a higher standard and vote with your wallet (or lack of). Thanks for reading also, shoutout CDPR holding it down.

  • I most likely won't spend any real money on the emotes. I just support people's right to chose whether or not to buy them. OP has every right to not buy them, and every right to disagree with adding microtransactions. It's when people start calling others names that I take issue. There's also the whole, I bought the game gimme free stuff debate, which I take issue with.
