Did anyone criticise the goofy Price model when it came out? Just noticed how terrible it is 

Players who don't like SBMM don't like to game, they like to win.Extremely tight SBMM will likely still plague casual games, so I'm out. Leave that shit for the sweaty players who want it to be neck and neck every single game.
Nope, I don't like to sweat it out every game when playing casually. I don't mind getting stomped every now and again or having a sweaty match once in a while. I also don't mind doing some stomping on the odd occasion.Players who don't like SBMM don't like to game, they like to win.
SBMM is for people who enjoy the game regardless of the string displayed on screen at the end of the match.
I have nothing but respect for people who can put up with it...
Do people pay for bundles/skins when they only rent their games? - and how bout battlepasses, would anyone buy those for a game they rented?Can't wait for all these to just be on gamepass.
It's sad how XDefiant's main draw is no SBMM in casual playlists. Had to take another dev to come along to finally appease the cacophony of complaints about it.Nope, I don't like to sweat it out every game when playing casually.

What I don't like is having to play my absolute best every single game, or get absolutely crushed. That's just not fun.
SBMM belongs in ranked playlists. Not in a casual playlist where I just want to piss about and not have to keep up with the meta load out which changes every other week.
They don't have to change it, I just won't buy the game anymore.
I have never paid for a skin in any game period.Do people pay for bundles/skins when they only rent their games? - and how bout battlepasses, would anyone buy those for a game they rented?
But you do recognize it's part of Activisions big pay day - and Microsoft has to figure out how they move forward with rented games and microtransactions?I have never paid for a skin in any game period.
I do care.Nobody cares about Xdefiant
MS will be fine with people on GP buying the battlepass and skins. I don't think people that have GP access will care if they lose access if they don't maintain their subscription.But you do recognize it's part of Activisions big pay day - and Microsoft has to figure out how they move forward with rented games and microtransactions?
If I remember correct Outriders Worldslayer expansion didn't sell on Xbox cause no one wanted to buy an expansion for a rented game.MS will be fine with people on GP buying the battlepass and skins.

we will see how the market is for cosmetics on rented games I guess.If I remember correct Outriders Worldslayer expansion didn't sell on Xbox cause no one wanted to buy an expansion for a rented game.
I don't understand how you feel strict SBMM plays any different than what you described.Nope, I don't like to sweat it out every game when playing casually.

The problem is with how strict the sbmm is. I'm an above avarage player, but not everyday. Sometimes I just like to select weird loadouts and have fun. Thanks to sbmm this is impossible since every game is a sweatfest.Hopefully this won't be a disaster like Vanguard and WW2 by sledgehammer.

Why would you worry about always playing your absolute best with SBMM versus not? I just play the game, SBMM just makes it so I generally win 50 % of the time , some games I have 3 K/D ratio some games I have 0.5 K/D ratio, who cares?
