Garden Warfare Gets Microtransactions

Title says it all really, but I'm confused by all the anger for this. Thing is, by now most who wanted to play this on box Xbox formats already have and those who want to play it one PC, for $5 extra for the deluxe edition you know get a bonus 150,000 coins. Really, the only reason I see this being a problem in game would be Gardens & Graveyards mode for plants with Zombies pumping out tough zombies gained from mass spending of coins on expensive packs (with random chance).

I guess most of the anger is the general distaste for microtransactions. Given EA is the publisher, it's surprising that they've held off for so long(they said not at launch, never said they wouldn't do it), let alone the fact that all the DLC for the game thus far has been free. I personally don't see it as too much of a problem (since I don't think there's much of a 'pay to win' here), but well see what effect it has soon enough.
