Thanks for taking a breath to gather the facts. I’ve never heard of this patent and that means it IS NOT in #CODWWII, period.

I guess that ends that. This was a short lived drama.

Is that all it took to convince you, Kerotan?

And you'll just believe them like that ? I mean, we're talking about of the devs working on CODWWII.

It sures as hell that they wouldn't admit something like this to their public.

Yea, and even if it has not been implemented in any games as of yet, its' the future we are worried about.

This.

- Horse Armor lead to the DLC craze as it showed the industry could get away with it.

- Microtransactions are now rampant.

- Season passes and content locked behind pre-orders and paywalls are now common.

- Loot boxes have exploded on to the scene.

Some mad men here seriously think this patent won't be used?
