Many Call of Duty fans have already accepted monetization at the level of mobile games.
Players noticed that in the first season of Black Ops 7, players will have a new customizable interface that can be used in multiplayer and zombie mode. Unfortunately for many, the interface will only be available to owners of the premium battle pass, which costs 30 US dollars — almost half the cost of Black Ops 7 itself.
Blogger PrestigeIsKey released a video on this topic, analyzing the situation from a financial point of view. According to him, many should have realized that Activision would sell even design elements in the new shooter, even when the Call of Duty developers first talked about the ability to customize the appearance of the interface.
