Micro-transactions in that one game I play.
I can easily afford it, so it's not like I'm gambling away my family's savings or something. However... At $10-20 a pop they aren't so "micro" anymore. And I know it's bad that I'm encouraging this predatory tactic. The money probably doesn't even make it to the developers. But they're freakin' ships from Star Trek! I can't help myself.
