If you are dumb enough to buy this then Activision deserve your money.

I wonder how many people actually bought this. It's so plain and pointless...

You can both be annoyed by entitled outrage culture while simultaneously being against microtransactions overall. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

I think Activision is anticipating Bethesda does something stupid with Fallout 76 so the heat is taken off their backs... again.

I think more free content is good but if a publisher never stated that something would be free post launch people should not expect everything to be free because they already paid for the product they go. Anything after is up to the publisher. And anyways Treyarch has offered a lot of free content and BO4 has the ebst microtransaction system in recent years so complaining over a $1 dot is just stupid.

If you see no problem with charging for a red dot then you will continue being bent over. The company's job is do anything to give investors what they want money, our job as consumers is to pay the least amount money for the games we want. Between the corporations and consumers who is doing the best job? I don't understand why gamers will pay full price for example Destiny and Destiny 2 when these games were not finished when released. Consumers smarten up or it will get worse

The Destiny and BO4 comparisons is like comparing apples to oranges. Before Destiny 1 launched Bungie and Activision lied about what would be in the game and later charged for what they promised day 1. That's a scummy business practice. For BO4 everything promised to launch with the game was there day 1 so we got the product we payed for. Anything they decide ti add post launch we shouldn't expect to be free because we didn't pay for that. Granted it's nice to still get some free content ( Bo4 has done a great job with free updates btw) but expecting it to free is entitlement. 

Sadly there's gonna be little kids who beg their parents to buy them these shady microtransactions. This is just going to get worse.

This is why I mostly retrogame: No shitty monetisation and GOTY versions are complete unlike that MW2 rerelease that Activision did, both locking it behind a paywall of buying that year's CoD, but even removing features to sell them DLC down the line. There's a reason why my last Activison buy is older than their merge with Blizzard (and even several years older than the newest EA game I own, which is Dragon Age: Origins - from GOG with all the DLC included) : so greedy they don't deserve a single buck from me. I'd rather pirate one of their games than buy any, but since none of their games are anywhere close to what I'm playing, there's no risk to that either.

Well at least those games aren't teeming with microtransactions, season passes, loot boxes, and other things that make me want to fight jason1637 in a parking lot. When Destiny 2 was offered with PS+ last summer, it became the first game from that service that I ever rejected. Easy call.  I have no doubt that elements of Destiny 2 are good, and even great, but the bad stuff.....To dust off an old chestnut: When you mix a bucket of ice cream with a bucket of shit, you get 2 buckets of shit.
