Micro-Transaction based lobbies in COD?!

[MacArther]

Gist: Activision Filed for a patent to have a matchmaking system based on micro-transactions. I.E. you buy stuff, you get easier lobbies.



Also, Michael Condry of COD:WWII not hearing of a patent does not keep said patent from being in a game: He is a corporate head, he does NOT need to know everything that Activision has scripted into the game...just saying.

My response on the video: "It's not in COD:WWII, we developers promise (mostly). It also won't be in later COD titles ( ::trying and failing not to laugh at people believing this:: ). Please have faith in us (give us all your money)." There, I translated Activision language for all....you're welcome.

What do all of you take from this?

Sadly, it seems every game that will come out in the near future will probably include Loot Boxes. Whether they're considered 'micro-transactions' its a successful feature that people consistently use/buy into.. Until the formula fails (AKA: people stop buying into them and its not worth developers time to add into the game/waste man hours on such projects...) then it'll continue to be in the game.
Since they've realized (after 3 games...) that future-warfare was going downhill on the player base, maybe it'll take a while before we start to hate this feature.
But looking at top youtube videos, people seem to love 'unboxing' these loot boxes, and people surely love to watch people unbox them..
I for one hate when they add unrealistic/stupid new items to the game (unlocked exclusively through lootboxes) and it depletes immersion especially what they did to MW Remastered and I'm hoping they don't ruin the WW2 feel of .. well, WW2..
