This is silly (Destiny)

You're fundamentally right. It's just really bad timing because of the optics.

That’s fair. I just think it’s weird people who should know better (ie not new people) are clutching their pearls, and therefore outraged by this. It’s more about clicks than legitimate surprise for this story. This game lets you pay to boost levels on the seasonal track ffs. I’m not saying that’s a good thing. It’s just what the game is, and has been for a long time.

If someone wants to do a deep dive into how these systems work together to cheapen an experience, I’d be all for it. On its own, this article is just bad play-acting by someone doing their best attempt at what an offended person might sound like.
