Call of Duty's $80 King Kong Glove Sparks Outrage Among Players
The high-priced cosmetic item, part of a Godzilla X Kong crossover, has been criticized for its lack of functionality and excessive cost.
- Activision's latest crossover with the Godzilla X Kong film introduces the $80 B.E.A.S.T Glove, a melee weapon in Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare III.
- Players must purchase four separate $20 DLC packs to unlock the glove, which has been deemed not worth the cost by the community.
- The glove, inspired by King Kong's robo-arm from the film, lacks special effects like ragdolling enemies, leading to player dissatisfaction.
- Critics argue that the pricing strategy reflects a worrying trend in gaming microtransactions, pushing the boundaries of what players are willing to pay.
- Despite the controversy, the glove includes unique animations but cannot be customized further, adding to players' frustrations.
