Call of Duty Faces Backlash Over $87 Squid Game Crossover Pricing

Fans criticize Black Ops 6's Squid Game collaboration for high costs and inaccuracies in themed content.

The Squid Game crossover in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduces themed modes like 'Red Light, Green Light' and cosmetic bundles inspired by the Netflix series.
Players must spend 8,700 Call of Duty Points (approximately $87) to unlock all event content, exceeding the cost of a full game.
Fans have labeled the pricing an 'insane money grab,' with many expressing frustration over Activision's monetization strategies.
Critics also pointed out inaccuracies in the Squid Game bundles, such as guards using incorrect weapons compared to the show.
The backlash highlights broader dissatisfaction with the franchise, including issues like hackers and perceived neglect of gameplay improvements.
