Call of Duty players unhappy $80 Kong glove costs more than the game (www.eurogamer.net)

The Call of Duty team has released a new, King Kong-themed glove into the game, and it hasn't exactly gone down well with players.

This melee weapon is known as the BEAST glove (today I learned, BEAST stands for Bio-Enhanced Anatomech Seismic Thunder), and promises that its wielder will be able to "punch as hard as Kong". Which, on paper, sounds pretty useful.

However, this glove can only be acquired by purchasing the four other Godzilla x Kong themed bundles. And this is where the chagrin begins.

"Micro"transactions....

Since when are call of duty players happy in the first place? Jokes aside, maybe the player base’ll finally start branching out to other games if this kind of thing keeps happening. That’s a hard maybe of course, it seems like people just like to make angry comments without actually changing their habits.
