Well at least air is an essential to life 
Having armor you want is just for the player’s sanity 
and to “support the game” 
Game pass is a poor example because it’s a service you pay for you bought the full game if you want to refund it you can absolutely do that if you have game pass

Although an important element, not what I was referring to.

Okay.

Just because there was controversy and the community doesn’t like the people who bought things, doesn’t really make it right for the company to not reimburse it.
But we can want what we want.

Its not fair to give them their money back. If it was fair, anytime the Xbox goes on sale or drops on price. Microsoft owes me the hundreds back

When a store has sales or lowers prices. Do they give you the difference back?

lol, then what were you referring to?
What if you bought during a sale, maybe you should pay them the difference or go the game back 
It’s a game, it’s just digital stuff, didn’t cost them less or more to make it now compare to then, matter of fact they aren’t making it because it’s already made.
I said it’s the morally right thing for the company to do, not that they have to, and sometimes stores do as people are saying here, as long as it was in an appropriate time frame of course.
Just because it’s morally right doesn’t mean they have to do it, they have every right to not.

Depends on the store and the transaction 
I suspect those laws doesn’t apply to premium “currency”.
Basically, what you purchase is in-game digital currency which I’m quite certain isn’t recognised as a “real currency”.
Just like Gold in Diablo isn’t a real one.
So if you were to get a “return” on something, it’d have to be on what you purchased with real money. That being the Premium currency in Halo.
I think the answer to the title of this thread is “no”.
You bought a micro transaction at the price it was given. It doesn’t say anywhere that there are any ways of reimbursement. There are also no ways of bargaining to get a better deal. You get what you paid for.
Unless they have law suits on their hands then reimbursement would be put into consideration. Nothing they did was illegal so there is no case here.
Court adjourned Spartans, you can all go play some Infinite now 
Let me reiterate… YOU GUYS ARE NOT 343.
They will do whatever they think keeps fans happy and makes money.
No, game pass gave me better games.
You can refund anything on xbox as far as I know as long as it’s within like 24 hours
Well these forums are made by 343 to hear from the community what they think. So yeah people on this site may not be employed by 343 but they’re given a voice by them 
Well they have somewhere to voice their opinion at least 
Nobody wants any legality to be considered here, it’s literally just a courtesy / customer retention / goodwill / relations thing.

What I mean is, that I don’t think any laws regarding “buyers remorse” and getting money back applies to items bought with premium currency.
Outside of “manipulative tactics” regarding premium in-game currencies, it may also allow companies to sidestep some laws if it ever came to that.
There’s some interesting reading to be done on this:
|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_economy#Controversy
So yeah, if I purchase, whatever game on Xbl for whatever real recognized global currency, in use to buy anything else than in-game items, I’m protected by law to have a short window of “buyers remorse”.
The question is, does that same law apply to items purchased with a so called “premium currency”?
Outside of the goodwill of a company, what obligations do they have to offer you refunds for items purchased with a currency you had to buy.
The Premium Currency becomes a middle-hand.
Premium Currencies are there for a reason.
Now, could I get a refund for a an item in Halo Infinite which cost 1500… PC?
Maybe, I don’t know. There’s a potential it could work, but I doubt, due to the intricacies of Premium Currencies, that the option is offered because of law, and not entirely on the goodwill of the company.
Now, on the topic.
It is a tricky one to say the least.
OP wants to get reimbursed on the difference if prices for items purchased are discounted.
If OP spent 2000 on the Hazop, which would then at some time later be discounted to say 1000, then OP would get 1000 to spend on other items.
What’s the timeframe here? A week? A month? A year?
On a personal level, I’m split on it.
OP and others made conscious decisions to spend the money, which in OPs own words “is tight”, yet stating it’s not “remorse” asking for reimbursement on a potential price drop in the future.
On this part, is it bitterness? Maybe. Has the gaming industry come to this point due to spending like that? Highly likely. Not something I’m happy about. In the end it’s OPs money.
Thing is, you can’t decide things in hindsight and reverse irreversible decisions.
I’m sure the guy who bought a pizza for 1000 Bitcoin along time ago isn’t too happy with the decision, but you can’t think like that. He didn’t have the information back then, which he has now. Nothing back then really said Bitcoin would go up as it has.
On the other hand, the system is set up to “trick” money out of the players.
And here I don’t see an issue with giving something back for the “foul play” which is in use.

I think the biggest question here regarding this topic is. Would you have done anything differently regarding your purchases you’d like a reimbursement on?
You state prices are high as they are, and yes, they are. Would you then, if you could redo it, not purchase the items or would you change nothing?

If prices get adjusted you would have to individually take that up with them.
A reimbursement/refund is a fail in the sales department. This is something they don’t not want to deal with. I’m sure they’ve had dedicated teams to make sure they have the least amount of fail in sales.
As well as being legally protected. They also have teams to look and see if they are violating any laws as well. Yeah I know, nobody wants to get into any legal situations (Cough cough EA 
).
This is precisely why folks should listen and amplify calls for improving how Infinite does microtransactions. You are free to spend your money however you want, but there is a chance the system will change and you aren’t guaranteed a refund. You knowingly bought these items, I assume free of duress or any underlying addiction.
Plenty of folks said don’t buy these items yet. Improve the value the store offers first.
