I think they kinda have to say that, though I doubt it would ever happen.
Considering that the game will be obsolete, unsupported and dead within a few years (such is the CoD cycle), any microtransactions you make may as well be for a limited time, since you only have so long to enjoy them before you and/or the community are done with the game and have moved on.
This is why some gamers like to sail the high seas instead of giving money to shell-game extortionists. Not me though, I’m a good little pay piggie.
Vote with your wallet, my friend.
If you recognize the issue but you’re still buying their crap anyways, you’re part of the problem.
But Epic got fined for a quarter of a billion dollars for nefarious sales tactics.
The same is true about the game itself, and any other game you’ve ever purchased, or dlc you’ve ever purchased. This isn’t unique, your just complaining because they displayed it clearly rather than 20 pages deep in a TOS
This is what we start to see from publishers when 80% of their customers are f@cking idi@ts and they know it 💀
Look like they are giving you a heads up just don’t give them you’re money seems pretty simple to me
Thanks for letting us buy operators in WZ1 and porting none of that over to WZ2
It more likely due to the controversy when a pack in Vanguard plagiarize someone’s design. I’m probably shooting in the dark.
I think people are really jumping to extremes here. Yes, they absolutely could remove this item from the game for no reason and you’d be SOL on getting a refund.
The reason they probably have this in place is to potentially solve a few scenarios: the first is that the skin could be bugged somehow and give players an unfair advantage, the second is that the skin could be using stolen or improperly purchased copyrighted assets, the third is that there might be backlash towards the skin being insensitive somehow which would warrant removal or replacement.
They want to cover their ass so they can say “hey we had to change the color on this operator skin to prevent people from gaining an unfair advantage, no you can’t get a refund or take us to court”. This exact scenario happened when the game first launched and they had their ESL skins released. The colors used on those skins gave players an advantage on certain maps so they had to make an alteration.
Could this turn scummy? Absolutely, and it rubs me the wrong way as well. What if they change the skin to a certain point that I don’t like it and want a refund? That wouldn’t be possible given that disclaimer.
I may have over 200 hours on this game, but i still havent bought a single bundle, they are LAUGHABLY overpriced and i just think that everyone who buys them either has money falling out of their pockets, or they are just morons.
What’s fun about this game again?
I wouldn’t be concerned about that, that’s just like when you see written on any medicine box that you may die by taking it. So they take away the risk that someone takes their medicine, dies for other causes and then the family blames the medicine for the death (ring a bell? luckily companies that make vaccines are more clever than your regular conspiracy caveman).
Similarly, I think that here they’re just safeguarding their right to pull the plug on the game whenever they see fit and hence take away your purchase from you forever without having to worry about you pursuing legal action over a CoD skin.
Looks like that’s a game that doesn’t need to be played and anyone asking you to play it with them isn’t really your friend.
Y’all triggered by broilerplates now?
imagine buying a fucking skin in cod mw2 dead game boogaloo. you whales never cease to disgust me with your endless spending in these fucking stupid ass games. 25$ for a fucking fortnite looking neon pink and green and yellow clown ass skin just to make sure you stand out in the battlefield and immediately get killed everytime. no wonder cod pushes these skins and shit so hard, the crayon eating children and braindead fans like OP continue to buy them and support one of the worst gaming publishers and developers in the industry.
This is not a new thing and certainly not restricted to Activision.
When you spend money on games and other contents through Steam or Origin you are not buying the right the own that product like when you buy a physical copy of a game. All your purchases can be deleted instantly and you can’t claim that you owned anything at first place.
I’ll always assume the worst, seeing how it’s Activision, but it could very well be a legal disclaimer “just in case”.
I don’t know what game this is, so feel free to dismiss anything I say.
I can imagine such disclaimers to be necessary for games with paid DLC that also get balance patches, such as Super Smash Bros.
I remember when csgo started removing original maps. De_aztec rip
We might as well understand gaming as it is these days… 95% of games are glorified rentals… You pay for the benefit of being able to play the game while the company sees it as beneficial to support the server network and maintain the status quo of the game. Any update could render the game useless on the platform you chose to play it on. Why would we fool ourselves into thinking this is differewnt for cosmetics?
Giving money to this awful shit stain of a company is actually laughable. They still haven’t released a statement after their shit anticheat banned thousands of paying customers.
The fact that you’re even on that page makes ya a chump, chump.
Bro….if your keyboard looks like a rainbow, you should be capable of taking a screenshot. It’s a dedicated key….
This is how a bunch of people feel about the Destiny Content Vault. Tons of people bought content that nobody has access to anymore, yet the game is still in full service.
As much as I hate Activision, and I do with a passion, that’s just generic legal speak.
Every DLC has that buried somewhere. They have to say something like that so if they use an asset that they weren’t supposed to or is copyrighted or stolen, then they can change that asset or replace it(or remove it if it becomes a big legal issue) without getting into more legal issues with the users.
At least Activision puts the message upfront instead of burying it in the tiny font on the 67th page.
It marks itself “don’t buy this!” and people do it anyway because they’re intellectual titans.
This disclaimer is normal and a “must have” in the Terms and Conditions on any digital product sold (basically the wall of text you agree to but never read)
Maybe I will receive downvotes for an unpopular opinion but I think it is good to see it visible and not hidden in this case
Holy crap, stop giving these companies money. Buying these packs and IAPs is screwing us all…
you’re part of the problem.
You are the problem
PrtScn that shit next time
Hey at least you got a warning, unlike Destiny players
You still bought it, then, decided to post like you had a point?
Intelligence levels are dropping at max velocity
Fun story.
I was a avid COD player for several years played every COD other than BO4 (no campaign, no care for this world). Activision even gave me a free jersey for my time in COD:WWII. I was weary of how bored I was of the game by the time of Cold War I wanted to take a break for a month or two.
I decided to check what was new later on. The game gave a me a ticker of updates (new maps, new modes, etc..) where you had to press “A” to skip the news to play the game, so I was just tapping “A” over and over again to just get to the main MP menu. Suddenly the last page of the update was an advert to buy the premium battle pass for 2400 COD Points. You guessed it, I tapped “A”. Sucked out all the COD Points I saved from MW2019.
Never again, loyal fan for how many years and you don’t even give a confirmation click to make sure I wanted to waste my money. You got my money, the last I ever gave them.
What a terrible disclaimer. Makes me want to play less and less big name company games.
Activistion Blizz is one of the worst companies ever
I think this in reference to how they had to “nerf” one of the pro team outfits. Apparently people were buying the outfit simply because it was all black for hiding in objective (it worked surprisingly well). Activision gave the skin some nice bright red goggles and backpack straps. If that’s the extent of changes to cosmetics I can understand.
I dont get it .. I really dont..
I have a decent paying job and I could easily afford bundles/ skins.. but I cant understand how people pay over 20 bucks for a skin I cant even see myself in game.
over… 20… bucks !!!!
