Wow, this community is something else. Your whole comparison to an abusive husband is over the top OP, beyond that, you're on the money. This is greed, pure and simple. I had fully intended to buy some silver and I will not be doing so now. Why bother if I'm still going to have to shell out for expansions? There are other games that I can play which are not nearly so exploitative and don't ask for so much of my money. Seriously, either go with the micro-transaction model like an F2P game or go with paid expansions like a traditional. game. Trying to mix both is just being greedy. People are free to spend their money as they see fit, I'm free to point out that this is a ridiculous move by Bungie/Activision. Also, to be fair you're being too harsh on the Kotaku article. Games get changed during the development process and often times the scope has to be trimmed. That was all they detailed in that article.
