The paid horse armor in Oblivion isn't nearly as problematic as publishers charging extra money for disc-locked content, cutting stuff out only to sell it back later as DLC, season passes that cost almost as much as the base game, loot boxes or even selling DLC for DLC (yes, that's now a thing), etc. either. Doesn't mean it didn't eventually get to that point because of people letting Bethesda get away with the paid horse armor crap. Notice how all that sleazy monetization we see today conveniently happened after Bethesda had the testicular fortitude to sell HORSE ARMOR in Oblivion and has gotten worse and worse with every passing year since, hmm. 

You know what else is sleazier than selling $1 reticles? Selling $10 save slots, but alas, that happened already:

And some people STILL defended them with no thought or care in the world for the consequences. In a world where publishers charge you $10 just to start a new game with a second character, I wouldn't put anything past them. So maybe we shouldn't be supporting/defending companies who sell you basic features that every other game gives you for free for OBVIOUS reasons (cut the "entitlement" crap), not even for $1. Other Joe said it himself, not even a dollar for a second save slot. This is the correct mindset to have. Otherwise, it won't be long before companies start selling you ammo, just like how we went from expansions to this:

EDIT: it's not just me ripping Activi$ion for selling something you can get for free in as far back as Half-Life 1, either:

Hey people most practices you have arguments about comparing them about whats the worst are pretty bad in itself, so yeah leave the nitpicking and just unify against bad practices.

No thanks, a lot of us fine not being part of the entitled gamer rampage.   You guys are the ones nitpicking over A SINGLE FUCKING DOT, not us. 

KManX89 tried to change the subject yet again when he replied, not even looking at my points. I'm gonna take my leave here.

Its pretty hard to attach the entitled title to this for me because they just charge ALOT for a minimal amount of work put into it,so yeah let the buyers be smart and not overpay for that.

It is a single fucking dot like you say it is but it is a dot for one dollar,be fair and let people be sceptical about that fact.

You’re still bringing up irrelevant things to minimize the shitty thing Nintendo did.

Why do I care about someone who buys an Amiibo to collect it or uh... play with it I guess? I’m talking about the content locked on discs when you buy them, only unlocked by those dumb figures. I don’t care if only 1% of gamers used Amiibos for DLC, it’s still a shitty practice. 

Dont bother replying about how they’re physical figures you can use outside of games, I’m only talking about in game content ;)

I rather would complain about the fact it doesnt have a story mode

Some people in this thread need to come to terms with the fact that content developers are not legally obligated to support their new releases free of charge no matter regardless of circumstances ...

If someone is stupid enough to buy a dot, then they deserve to lose the money on it.

BO4 has some major problems with its microtransaction system...this is not really that high on the list...

Yeah, to the people who use them as DLCs add-on only, got it :)

There's already a red dot sight in game. It's basically a gun skin...
