      Things went out the window for me when Niki Minaj killed Messi with a neon green sub-machinegun. You’d think that would be a great game, but it’s a bit too much for my likings.

        I never really agreed when people said that they want their super realistic call of duty, but this really is just absurd. Even if these skins were free is would be obnoxious. At this point you can only blame the poeple who buy that garbage

        I haven’t played any CoD games since maybe 2010 and thought you were being silly. Holy fucking shit.

        They usually get it right when they do “tacticool” stuff too. But this shit feels like they’re trying way too hard to appeal to the Fortnite crowd

      A slow descent into commercial hell. It’s been a shit show for years and every year they push it farther. They are self selecting for whales with spending it gambling addictions.

        If you think it’s just whales these days, you are very mistaken. A very large chunk of the casual audience buy into this stuff.

          A very large chunk of average gamers are going to spend the amount of a whole other game to get a single skin? Do you have any evidence for that?

            Yes. That is what gaming has come to. Go play the games and see for yourself. Nearly everyone is running around with some skin from the shop.
