Frustration grows among Call of Duty players as Black Ops 6 introduces premium TMNT crossover skins at staggering prices. This coverage explains Activision's controversial monetization strategy and its impact on the gaming community.
Black Ops 6 Player Outcry Intensifies
TMNT Collaboration Faces Pricing Criticism
The recent TMNT crossover in Black Ops 6's Season 2 Reloaded has sparked controversy, with fan-favorite characters locked behind paywalls that many consider unreasonable.
Each ninja turtle skin carries a $20 price tag, while Master Splinter's requires purchasing the $10 Battle Pass Premium Track. Collecting all five characters totals $100 before considering the additional $10 weapon blueprint cosmetic.
What stings most for players is that unlike free-to-play titles, Black Ops 6 already carries a $69.99 price tag. Comparisons to Fortnite's TMNT bundle - offering all four turtles for $25 in a free game - dominate discussions. Reddit user neverclaimsurv's viral post sums up the sentiment: "That is INSANE."
Compounding the issue is Activision's annual release cycle, making these expensive cosmetics temporary. Redditor SellMeYourSirin highlights the triple battle pass system in a premium game expected to be replaced within a year, with only the basic tier being free.
Despite being 2024's top-grossing US game, Activision may reconsider aggressive monetization if player backlash continues mounting.
Steam Community Divided Over BO6
With 10,696 mixed reviews (47% positive), Black Ops 6 faces criticism beyond pricing. Players report persistent PC crashes, rampant cheating, and dissatisfaction with AI implementation.
Steam user LemonRain describes game-breaking instability: "The latest update makes completing matches impossible despite multiple troubleshooting attempts." Others detail hacking incidents where entire teams are eliminated before matches begin.
Some protest Activision's AI initiatives by using chatbots to generate negative reviews. Rundur's post exemplifies this: "Since Activision prioritizes AI over human staff, I'm using ChatGPT for this review."
Despite these issues, Black Ops 6 maintains strong revenue through its premium battle passes, though their value compared to competitors remains hotly debated.
