something about taxes.. long story read into it why every major company has some sort of goodwill bs
Don't understand the outrage here.
Not only are literally ALL the items cosmetic (barring the use of Liquid Divinium for Zombies), earning cryptokeys is fast, especially if you only go for 10 key chests.
In Advanced Warfare, the fucking chests gave out special guns with boosted stats and what not. That at least is bullshit.
EDIT: AND those chests in AW were dropped at random, and the drop rate was so ass at times.

Exactly.
"B... but Activision is evilll!!! And CoD is AAA trash so it deserves to be shat on!!" Is all I'm really getting from this.

Only babies are mad about this, and they aren't playing the game anyway. Baby opinions are invalid.

That's fantastic. I'll actually throw some money at this to help support. Our vets need to be taken better care of, and anything helps!

i spend 7 dollars in rocket league for paintjobs so. not a big deal.
are you serious? Or do you actually not have any idea about how tax deductions work?
They won't pay any taxes on the money they donate, but this doesn't affect the taxes they pay on the rest of the money they make.
please explain it to me then ;-)
Free would be better, but we can't expect that anymore.
Could be wrong, but this thread is mostly filled with people defending it.
And we seriously need to stop to label every criticism with outrage. It is as bad as "Y u mad?".

It's really easy to pick out who has never played this game in the thread. The overreactions like this are hilarious.
I'll never understand the internet outrage on some of the dumbest topics.
Dont like it,...dont buy it. I see no issue at all w/ this.
But...the internet is all about people b*tching about something or another.
They add things like this for people w/ busy lives that dont have time to grind out hours and hours of gameplay.

so now ive played the game again after the patch this still makes no sense. the MOTD said i had 200 points, ok thanks, and in the black market I cant do anything but use cryptokeys. from looking at it though, it looks like one box might be 200 cod points. if this is the case, its a joke, it should be at least 20 boxes for 200 points.
but anyway, nothing works, i cant get my free points, this makes no damn sense
edit - ok so its ONE rare drop for 200 points. ONE! so thats 1.59 in english money to open a single box. thats a big nop for me

well, it seems to be the trend going forward. Stupid me for thinking COD would follow.

It's just for ugly weapon skins anyway. Who cares. They aren't even worth real money like cs go lol.
If it was pay money for exclusive perks or to level up it would get me to sell the game regardless of how much I like it.

I wish they'd drop the price of the game whenever they do this. I own blops3, enjoy playing it for an hour or two a week, would like to trade in my physical copy and buy digitally so I am not swapping discs all the time but I have never seen it lower than $49.99 digitally.
At $20-30 its a great price and matchmaking would be even better, but nope gotta put in microtx and still keep $60 price.

Gaming in 2016 pay to win
Talk about being dramatic
Mate, it's cosmetic items... You want them to chop the price in HALF a little over a month after release because of cosmetic mictrotransactions?
Seems a bit much.

I don't really like the idea of micro-transactions being added to a game you've already paid full price for, but at least they're only cosmetics.
They're not only cosmetic but all the new cosmetic stuff can still be obtained by normal play. They even increased the key rate for the crates to make it even easier to get the chests during play.
When I first saw the supply drops in the menu a month ago, I was wondering "why aren't they charging for these, too?". So this really isn't surprising, plus it doesn't really affect anyone else.
I've been playing the game a ton lately, and I don't really care about this. People wanna spend money on cosmetic stuff? Go right ahead. I'll be saving my money, though. Plus, the latest patch also made it a bit easier to get cryptokeys faster.

Perfectly fine and appropriate to me...
Games have become too expensive to produce...
And they've made the common supply drops much worse to coincide with this, so it takes longer to earn any worthwhile cosmetic items... or pay them instead. I understand that it's only cosmetics, so it doesn't affect the core game, but they're still charging the price of another full game pretty much for a season pass. At least with Halo and Rainbow 6 the maps and extra content will all be free, not splitting the userbase whatsoever. This is just another aspect of games which was introduced for a few years, then discovered that it can be monetised without any benefit to the end-customer.

Right, but this nowhere near does it apply to this game.
You're overreacting man, I'm sorry. There are better games where your comment could apply to.

I've opened many common supply drops after patch and I don't see a difference. Rare supply drops were made a bit better though, and that was a needed change even if microtransactions were never made.

Wait what happened, are we viciously defending microtransactions now?

To be honest I was surprised it wasn't in the game already.
I personally don't get why people are complaining about cosmetics, especially since it doesn't seem that obtaining the currency is any harder if you don't want to pay. Also I don't know why the inclusion of cosmetic micro transactions would hurt games review wise. Especially when obtaining the currency to get them isn't that hard to do imo.
My only hope is that the common and rare drops are actually significantly different loot wise.

There is a HUGE difference in patching bugs (making the product to work as advertised) and adding stuff that alters the balancing of the game!

It's cosmetic. And the game already gave you cosmetic drops before, and continues to do so. In fact, they even increased the rate that you are able to get them. Being outraged because now there's a option to pay for extra drops is dumb as hell.
Oh yeah, all those cosmetics are definitely ruining the balancing of the game! I always choose a shiny skin so i can blind the enemies!
What is so "dumb" about that, of course a game has to be patched to remove bugs in order to work as advertised! Alternating anything else should be an absoulte no go.
When I get my car back from the service an they tell my they patched a software error with the windscreen wipers but now every time I start my car It prompts me to get the power upgrade for 200$ I would be furious, and rightfully so!

I'm just surprised the tides have changed so much that people are calling others "idiots" for not wanting microtransactions added after launch.
