"And even when you've bought them as DLC, in order to own them fully in the game they have to be purchased using in-game currency - or, of course, by pumping in a little extra money of your own."
Wait a second ... is that true? You buy the DLC but you don't get it until you buy it from within the game--which, of course, can be done quicker and easier with an influx of real money? That sounds awfully shady. I don't think I like that very much.
