I haven't been playing competitive FPS games for a long time, but they used to be a dime a dozen. There must be some kind of alternative multiplayer FPS that you could just play instead if you're not happy with Call of Duty.
I am hoping modern games get so bad people finally start having halo 2 lan parties again.
I know some people kinda liked that XDefiant game, or The Finals
Seeing all the stupid skins running around is part of what soured me on PlanetSide 2.
The crazy part isn't that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them...
No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for... Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.
I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:
I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it's monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They'd be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they're the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.
People are offering to pay for it because they understand that providing that feature would potentially cause lost revenue for Call of Duty, since (theoretically) players are buying skins so other players can see them.
I imagine there are a lot of potential solutions (I can think of a few at least) but Activision probably think the lowest risk is to do nothing.
Next year: pay to cut an opponent's frame rate in half, as a bidding system. Whoever is offering the least premium coin gets the debuff.
Then don’t play the game. Cosmetics like that are essentially CoD’s bread and butter, and have been for decades. I don’t disagree that it’s gotten WAY out of hand, but that’s also why I don’t play COD anymore.
I don't think you know what "decades" means.

Didn't have skins except for on the weapons, and you had to earn those. One of the first games ever with selectable perks. It was such a breath of fresh air after years of World War 2 games. World at War afterwards was the first one with zombies though, and it had tanks in the big multi player maps. It was only 17 years ago... video games were amazing. I stopped playing after the first black ops. It is just like any other EA sports franchise.
You're asking the average cod player to stop playing? They are unable to. It's the reason why the series is where it is, its playerbase is... not the smartest.
