  • Microtransactions and Women Filled Loot Boxes Added to Modern Warfare Remastered

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]9984[/ATTACH]
    Yesterday, an update was released for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. It added in some returning multiplayer maps and new game modes like Gun Game and Hardpoint. That's great news!

    The not so great news is that they added in microtransactions into the game, which had no microtransactions in the first place. Yes, they are cosmetic but the fact remains that they were added in after the game launched without any.

    Secondly, they also added in female character models that you can play as! Oh but they locked them behind random loot box unlocks. So you can either randomly get one of the new female characters as an unlock or you can "craft" them from the currency you get from loot boxes.

    What the actual fuck?

    Loot Box Monetization Review: Are Modern Games Just Casinos in Disguise?
    by Major 0
    The incorporation of loot boxes into video gaming has long been a contentious topic. Many regulators have stepped in to introduce stricter rules around using loot box monetization in video games due to the strong links to casino gambling mechanics. Randomized rewards that are exchanged for real money in loot boxes closely mirror slot machine mechanics and even though the loot box features are optional, the excitement of improving gameplay by obtaining items is too tempting to miss out on for many...
