Call of Duty Players Angered Over New Squid Game Event Pass
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6players say they are “done” with the popular first-person shooter after Twitter userxFleXy_discovered that the upcoming Squid Game collaboration will include yet another paid Battle Pass. While it has yet to officially appear in-game, the leaked message of the day states that there will be an “exhilarating Event Pass” forCall of Duty’s Squid Game event. It goes on to state that there will also be a “Premium Track route” which allows players to unlock even more rewards, including the Front Man operator.
While Activision isn’t necessarily forcing anybody to purchase the upcoming event pass, fans are angered by the studio’s prioritization of new microtransactions asCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzone’s ranked modes are still riddled with cheaters. Treyarch is continuing to make improvements to the game’s anti-cheat system, but many believe that additional monetization is a slap in the face to users who have paid $70 for a game that still has many issues.
