After the fourth season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone were released last week, players found that there were advertisements promoting paid weapon combination packages and skins in the build weapon configuration and equipment interfaces of the two games.The placement of this ad means that players will see these ads all the time.

Under the strong resistance of the player community, Activision Blizzard deleted the ad and gave a cliché excuse, saying that it was just a "functional test" and a "error release", but players have long been used to their tricks and are not grateful.

Under the official announcement, most of them were comments that mocked and despised this behavior. "They did these things every time they updated, put out some bad things, and tested the bottom line of the player," one player wrote. "If the objection was loud enough, they pretended to be accidental and then retreated."

Obviously, Activision is unlikely to care whether the players care about their excuses, after all, they have made a lot of money on micro-transactions and DLC.In 2021, Activision released a report saying that its micro-transaction and DLC revenue for all its games reached US$5.1 billion, of which "Call of Duty: Mobile Games" contributed significantly, and had earned US$1.5 billion as of February 2022.Diablo IV, revenue exceeded US$1 billion in September last year, of which 150 million came from microtransactions.
