Is it normal to have "microtransactions" in $60 AAA games?

I honestly hate the practice. Yes, its optional and isn't required most of the time but thats exactly where it all starts! First its always soo innocent and then bam, its mandatory on everything! Microtransactions seriously shouldn't be allowed in $60 releases cause come on, we already paid for the game, quit trying to suck more money from us damn it!
