I'm sure the psychopathic suits at EA would approve of this existence, and the gaming industry will just keep getting worse and worse thanks to companies like these.

    Anyway, this whole thing is saddening, and it sucks how the community is getting divided because of it, but what where they expecting when they implemented such a shop into a Pay to Play game? It will keep getting worse as they are adding new things, the stigma will keep growing.
    I applaud this post. Very well thought out.

    Lemme guess, your parents still pay your subscription fee right? 'Cause that's the only reason I see for posting a comment as ludicrously ignorant as this. Some people work hard for their cash, and who fucking cares if they spend it on pretty pixels that aren't affecting anybody at all? If I wanted to spend my dough on cutesy shit (which I don't, by the by, the by) then that is my prerogative. It's not like I'm paying to have some sort of advantage over everybody else.

    I dunno, maybe you think micro-transactions for cosmetic items is the gateway to pay2win or something? Well that's what people said four years ago when the pet store opened up. There's no way to know for certain if that will ever happen, and if it does you've got full rights to protest that. However; thinking it's okay to screw other people over because you- in your opinion- believe that people who spend money on harmless luxuries are wrong, is ignorant, unjustified and morally sideways.

    Then picket. And tell people entering and leaving why you care. And then leave them alone. If you're really really put out, give up on the restaurant.

    Very accurate

    in vanillia wow there was no limitless digital collectors edition, that was limited to the amount of people who could get ahold of the physical boxed copy

    They sell those pets to NO ONE now, not everyone 24/7, limited to those that could find it

    know what though? i assume you're the type that will say change with the times or be left behind, then maybe the blizzard vp never should've said what he did in 2008

    of course this is a discussion forum, if every thread said "vote with your wallet, not your opinion" no threads would exist

    This has gotten ridiculous after 124 pages with the back and forth insults and general rudeness.
