If last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 felt particularly egregious with microtransactions, ranging from crossovers with the Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles that cost a reported $100 for everything to animations that players called "pay-to-win," then things are reportedly about to get a whole lost worse.
