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…
Unhappy but they will still buy the same game every year and spend all their disposable income in "micro"transactions. I wonder why Activision keeps doing cash grabs… /S
Yeah, it’s fucking insanity that people spend money on this shit.
People are really unhappy to pay 80$ for a stupid glove. They still do it, and do it next time, they’ll also pre order the next game which is the same game.
Haha suckers.
Macrotransactions!

Can the glove jack me off as hard as Kong?
If I won’t accidentally rip my dick off, I don’t care.
Since when are call of duty players happy in the first place? Jokes aside, maybe the player base’ll finally start branching out to other games if this kind of thing keeps happening. That’s a hard maybe of course, it seems like people just like to make angry comments without actually changing their habits.
When will people finally stop to buy games from companies that only want to rip them off?
When we either educate everybody or get regulations against it. That is to say, never.
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.
