Kane99 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Source https://gamerant.com/call-of-duty-vanguard-bioluminescence-blueprint-outrage-complaints/ Pretty much what is going on here, is that Call of Duty released a new gun blueprint that was of Bioluminescence and it was supposed to shine. And get this, the blueprint is priced at £20, which equals out to nearly $27 USD. Anyway, the gun didn't glow in game, and had some other issues that gamers were unhappy about. For $27 I'd be pissed too. I'd be pissed with spending that much on a gun in game. Why does Activision and all these studios get away with charging so much for skins and weapons? Kinda makes me not want to play these games anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Wait, people I shelling out $27 for a weapon in a video game? Is it just the gun or is part of a package? It sounds like a lot of money. I completely understand why folks would be upset. Why set expectations like that if you're not going to deliver? Bad move Activision, hopefully they fix this asap.

But for this one, people were mad it didn't glow like the previews showed. And fans were not happy about that. But yeah, $27 is crazy for a gun.

Head_Hunter Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 That's a big amount of money to spend for a virtual gun, I rather stick with the generic option provided in the game. I can't keep on spending that big when my budget is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Honestly can't believe there are people out there spending that much on a blueprint/weapons bundle! No wonder the companies all want to pump as many microtransactions as they can into games nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I guess some of the time we feel that we have to let the developers experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised how much some people put in all the microtransactions that such games comes with. A colleague of mine spent at least $100 on in game purchases on Call of Duty Vanguard.

Empire Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The game was always set throughout the war, at the end of the war, and in the years following as Task Force Vanguard hunted down Nazis in hiding across the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good and a useless experiment as well. When they want to experiment, they should do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
