Activsion... the company most know for CoD.... has not done anything stupid on their other games. They're not going to start now. From a business perspective (I'm a business man myself), there isn't any reason for companies NOT to use microtransactions. It's a great profit booster. People buy and everyone is happy long as you aren't FORCED to buy to get better or advance in the game. They know that if people are FORCED to buy, they'll lose more business than they'll make. Basic and easy.

cool stuff my man. i have no problem with businesses making money FAIRLY, i just hope they understand how fast it could get out of control. I've seen some games that were very popular, lose all control by the time micro transactions were implemented. now those games aren't even close to bungie's level or they're dev teams talent, but I'm only thinking worst case scenario. cause you can prepare as much as you like, but it won't matter once shit truly hits the fan ya know? I'm also a small business owner in sports equipment, and i understand the need to boost revenue in order pay employees and such. i just don't want to see a franchise that i actually feel like i enjoy now since the launch of TTK go south again because of a system that can lead to pay walls and rip offs. thats all

If you and 90% of the community know it would be a bad idea to sell more than cosmetic stuff, then you can bet Bungie and the head management there knows it's a bad idea. I haven't seen a big name game company use microtransactions poorly. Only small ones without much to lose would have the balls to try lol
