Are you seriously comparing game DLC to random stuff you can buy? I mean sure, why stop there? Why don't we all purchase the ultimate collectors edition. It's just $75/$90/$100 bucks. That's like 3 or 4 movies and some popcorn. 2 tanks of gas. One trip to the grocery store. All these poor people up in here. Why not own every console and the best gaming rigs while we're at it. I mean what's a couple thousand here and there.
You see the problem with just throwing up arbitrary numbers when comparing what people [b]could[/b] be spending their money on doesn't take into account whether or not what they spent their money on [b]is worth it[/b]. It could be absolutely free and if the content sucks then it's not above criticism. Being free is a powerful excuse for lack of quality (the classic, "you get what you pay for" reasoning) but free content is still not above reproach (and when there are free to play games giving more content in their updates then Destiny it further salts the wounds). Further, when comparing whether or not $20 is worth it for content you don't compare to random shit you pay for to live. We're talking about video games and thus the comparisons should be to other games and their DLC.
While it's great your flaunting your spending habits as if money is of no consequence, other people don't have that luxury and $20 is a lot to spend to people who don't have a lot of disposable income to throw around. Therefore it's important to analyze how much value is gotten for your payment just like people do with any purchase.
Christ I remember when this no concept of money argument was being made when DLC barely broke $5 and now it's being made for $20 like it's paying for a f'ing gumball.

Agreeing with you: warframe. Free. More content and something like 20 types of characters instead of 3. In game chat and game finder. It's rediculous. I feel lied to and cheated.
