What game was that?

MS were pitching the idea of microtransactions to publishers in early 2005. They put it in Kameo, Perfect Dark and Project Gotham as a proof of concept to developers. Bethesda was the first to jump in on the Microsoft idea and the infamous $2.50 horse armour became a reality. 

I wouldn't call costume packs released after a year the MTX standard we know today, but regardless my point was we can't blame MS for what other companies chose to do. Sony also supported the Online pass for games for a short while, where you had to buy a $10 MTX to play online if you bought it used. Thankfully that didn't stick but why are people trying to dredge up old ass shit just to justify their hate towards a brand? You can do that to either side. I'm saying to cut the bullshit.

Things were 'dredged up' because you made a categorically false statement. This was pointed out to you. You've now tried shifting the goalposts, scrapping the barrel for a counter and on the other hand telling people to cut the bullshit and drop it. There's no consistency whatsoever.

What has brand or emotions got to do with anything?

This isn't even an argument. Its just an endless series of fallacies at this point.
