Games like Destiny, For Honor, that kind of game, are just pure money grabs. You get early beta quality releases with the full price game ending up being north of $160 even before whichever flavor of micro transactions are in that day. Currently, loot boxes are the way to fleece teenagers. The good news is that these games can be avoided, and should be avoided at all costs.

That doesn't really make any sense. Destiny is a AAA console game franchise. Some people love it, some people like it, some people hated it. But with both Destiny 1 and 2, the problem was not that it was beta quality and riddled with bugs. It was deliberate design decisions that missed the mark for some players. But that's not different than the vast majority of games since the dawn of gaming. Yes, if you bought all of the DLC on launch day over 3 years, you would've spent well over $100. Even that is not outrageous considering that console games have remained at $60 since the early aughts even though AAA game development is a A LOT more costly now. If people don't like the base game, they don't buy the DLC. Pretty simple. Where things get into sketchy territory is when games start to intentionally gimp the core gameplay experience to goad players into microtransactions. Destiny 2 has started to dip into that cesspool with some of the changes they made from D1.
