So if you pay $80 for a gorilla glove, are you really the one doing the fisting here? ๐Ÿค”

I wouldn't spend $80 for a game, let alone a useless DLC.

[โ€“] rdri@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not even a dlc, it's most probably already in the game and you can meet people using it and see the effects of it. It's just an unlock.

what does it do?

[โ€“] rdri@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

No idea lol, just a skin for a melee type weapon I guess, maybe with an unique sfx/gfx effect.

[โ€“] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

And yet there will probably be thousands of people eager to spend $80 on this.

I don't have to do anything.

Diablo 4 came on game pass recently and the micro transaction content is just as bad. Like 70 bucks Canadian for a horse skin.

With eighty dollars you can have four or more great games instead. I recommend you try Huntdown first, I have been having a blast with it.

So you can fist Nicki Minaj with a gorilla glove now? COD is really leaning into the mil-sim genre ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[โ€“] Dirk@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Haha, yeah. Screw them.

Only legislation will stop this.

If we allow this to continue there will be nothing else.
