I do see what you're saying to a point. If the microtransactions were used for essential in-game items that you can't proceed without or as a shortcut to allow people buy their way to max level, that would be a problem. Pay-to-win scenarios would drive me away immediately. That said, I vehemently disagree with the assertion that we've been walked all over by Bungie. The problems and subsequent restructuring of the game, as detailed in the Kotaku article, doesn't show a company walking on us, it shows serious development issues that and arguably poor management of a potentially incredible product. If Bungie had done these things with the explicit intention of manipulating and taking advantage of the community, that would be a different story. That's simply not what happened with Destiny.
