Call of Duty: Black Ops 6had quite a successful launch, but it seems like the game has failed to keep the momentum going. In fact, theCall of Duty: Black Ops 6player count on Steam witnessed a massive dropin the past couple of months, which speaks volumes about the reservations the community has about the game. The lack of good maps and events, and the age-old anti-cheat issues seem to have driven a lot of players away from the game. Amid that, the game seems to be facing backlash once again.
In a new blog post, Activision reveals the complete details of theCall of Duty: Black Ops 6 Squid Gamecrossover. While there are a plethora of exclusive rewards players can get as part of the event, the blog also details that there will be a premium reward track which players will have to purchase for 1,100 COD points, which is equivalent to $9.99. The premium reward track includes several exciting rewards that players would’ve preferred to be available for free, such as a new Operator “Front Man,” along with several blueprints, a finishing move, and more.

As one might have expected, this hasn’t gone down well in the community. Fans had already expressed their concerns over the collaboration after thepremium battle pass forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6 Squid Gamecrossover was leakedearlier. Many thought that the backlash would lead Activision to change its plans, but that has been far from the case. Some players even stated that they will stop spending money on the game going forward.
The primary reason for criticism has been the fact that the crossover itself is a promotion for the new season ofSquid Game, so having another layer of microtransactions on top hasn’t gone down well in the community. While games likeFortnitehave implemented something similar in the past, fans thinkCall of Duty: Black Ops 6not being free-to-play gives them less leeway to have a lot of microtransactions. While the latestCall of Duty: Black Ops 6crossover has turned out to be quite controversial, at this point, the possibility of any changes being made to the battle pass looks quite bleak.
