    The crazy part isn’t that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them…

    No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for… Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.

      I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:

      I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it’s monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They’d be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they’re the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.

    Next year: pay to cut an opponent’s frame rate in half, as a bidding system. Whoever is offering the least premium coin gets the debuff.

    Then don’t play the game. Cosmetics like that are essentially CoD’s bread and butter, and have been for decades. I don’t disagree that it’s gotten WAY out of hand, but that’s also why I don’t play COD anymore.

      You’re asking the average cod player to stop playing? They are unable to. It’s the reason why the series is where it is, its playerbase is… not the smartest.
