It's a lose-lose situation.

That's really the only way to send the message though. Even one fewer sale from you would add a tiny grain of sand to the "do not want" side of the scale. And you wouldn't even need to miss out on the game by buying used.

If it's like you say, and the choice really is microtransactions now or worse microtransactions later, then yeah that's a shitty choice. Even so, I say we make the stand now and point blank refuse to tolerate microtransactions in full price games, not just the predatory ones.
