The Call of Duty team has released a new, King Kong-themed glove into the game, and it hasn’t exactly gone down well with players.

This melee weapon is known as the BEAST glove (today I learned, BEAST stands for Bio-Enhanced Anatomech Seismic Thunder), and promises that its wielder will be able to “punch as hard as Kong”. Which, on paper, sounds pretty useful.

However, this glove can only be acquired by purchasing the four other Godzilla x Kong themed bundles. And this is where the chagrin begins.

"Micro"transactions…

    I mean…don’t they? When a company puts out microtransactions that are unfair, they get backlash and often lose sales.

      Any potential loss in sales is immediately offset by the whales that buy anything that comes out.
