How though? It doesn't affect the gameplay at all, it doesn't affect the quality of what's there. I get that this idea of selling you more shit all the time can be really annoying, but it doesn't intrude at all into the game. This is not like Dragon Age without the Warden's Keep DLC where the game bugs you to buy something while you're playing, it's just there if you give a shit about it, off on the side, minding its own business.
For this game, no, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
My point is, say in 5 years time every game has a store, some might not be intrusive to the game play, but some might, and all the time you'll be wondering if the next game you want will include it, and how it'll affect the game. Precedent is the word. The other thing is who buys this shit? I'm guessing most (I hope all

) here do not. It's probably 13 yo kids which too much of their parents' money and rate Portal 2 as 0 on Metacritc. It's a bit sad to think that delvelopers/publishers, even Valve, will cater to that. The
cynical point is, they're just in it for the money.
This isn't something I'm going to passionately argue or anything, I don't even believe it will happen, I just like to hypothesise doom. God that sounds cool.
