Expansion packs are fine. Single items paid for individually aren't. Microtransactions are a horrible idea... things that for any game released before this year would have either been in a free patch (horse armor? PAY? What are you THINKING???) or would have been saved for the expansion are now being released as pay additions... with Oblivion as one of the worst offenders... it's absolutely ridiculous, and I really hope that Nintendo doesn't end up following along with them (though yes, the rumors are not good).
