A recent Call of Duty crossover event featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has sparked debate among players. The issue centers on the high cost of acquiring all the associated cosmetic items, which could total around $90. Players are drawing comparisons to free-to-play games like Fortnite, where cosmetics are a primary revenue source. Some argue that Activision's monetization strategy is excessive, especially given the game's initial purchase price and the presence of battle passes. Critics suggest Call of Duty should adopt a free-to-play model to align with its current monetization practices, while others defend the choice to spend money on cosmetics. Despite the criticism, Call of Duty's continued financial success suggests Activision will likely maintain its current course.
