Is this for real? You need to pay an extra 700GBP to get an overpowered player?

Something something pay to win.

I'm sure you can buy cards on shady websites somewhere, but you can't straight up buy them in game. You have to buy card packs for RNG 0.0001% chance of a player like this.

People were getting him from an in game reward pack that was "bugged" by having very specific guarantees that meant he was quite likely. Hence why it was "fixed" in 24 minutes.

It seems odd that the article has added a monetary value to it.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

This is obscene.

Houses shouldn't cost this much. Healthcare should be free

Capitalism is obscene

You can't actually buy him in game for £700, but you can buy packs that have a very slim chance of containing him with real money.
