      Things went out the window for me when Niki Minaj killed Messi with a neon green sub-machinegun. You’d think that would be a great game, but it’s a bit too much for my likings.

        I never really agreed when people said that they want their super realistic call of duty, but this really is just absurd. Even if these skins were free is would be obnoxious. At this point you can only blame the poeple who buy that garbage

        I haven’t played any CoD games since maybe 2010 and thought you were being silly. Holy fucking shit.

        They usually get it right when they do “tacticool” stuff too. But this shit feels like they’re trying way too hard to appeal to the Fortnite crowd

    This site has the most infuriating privacy popup I have ever seen, theres a tab for 1400 partner consents. Like what?

      Malicious compliance mixed with “let’s see you click all that shit”. I don’t think the devs wanted to implement this…

      Have you tried Consentomatic? It usually takes care of those and deactivates them automatically.

        I actually opened it in safari just to see, but it did not seem like it managed to, at least on iOS.

          I don’t know how many people are behind this, but I think they implement the consent frameworks manually, so if it doesn’t work you can report the website in the extension and help other people in the future with your contribution!

    Haha. Those who bought that deserve it. They’ve been enabling that shit by buying everything they release. They are two steps away from being sold dog shit and buying it.

    Watching Activision burn is great. What a shit company with shit ideas. No wonder another dumpster company like Microsoft wanted it. Shit sticks together.

    Why does every game have to have neon, cute, annoying bullshit cosmetics now. It’s a fucking war game. Even PUBG caved in and became an obnoxious dress-up game. Yea, really helps set the tone of abandoned, grim wasteland.

    Conversely I’ll just roast all CoD players, for continuing to play and spend money on a franchise with all the genuine creative vision of a photocopier and all the predatory financial behaviour of an online gambling website.

      Yeah, it is wild.

      But people are free to spend money on whatever they like.

      I waste plenty of money of Nerf blasters LOL.
