It is legal and even normal for companies to launch a game and pursue the objective of wanting to ensure a certain economic return, not only to recover the investment in development, but also to have enough left over to consider it a millionaire success. Now, things go awry when something that seems destined to be free (at least in part) is used as a subterfuge to want to endorse something larger. Which is happening with this Warzone 2.0 .
What is happening with Warzone 2.0?
The truth is that not even a week ago the battle royale linked to the Call of Duty franchise was updated with a second version that is not leaving all players too satisfied. The number of failures that it has come up with is helping a lot, both in terms of connection, servers, graphic problems or general performance. So the minute something happens, the fans jump for the jugular. That’s right.
And that is what has happened in the last few days, when some players have realized that if they have not accessed Warzone 2.0 through their purchase of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 , they are constantly required to do so on pain of not have access to all the official content of the battle royale . Something that shouldn’t be like this because the nature of this title is to live as a free2play for all those who decide to download it from the official stores of Sony, Microsoft, Steam, etc.
This is how a user on Reddit explains it, who got a little surprise: “I probably played about six games of Warzone 2.0 without any problem (I finished my last battle a few minutes ago). Now, when I try to play it, when I click on Battle Royale Solos I get the “purchase Modern Warfare II to get access to everything” window (I tried the other BR variants too with the same result) I’ve restarted the game and my PC but that didn’t help.”
Failure or premeditated decision of Activision?
A message like this is surprising when it is assumed that because it is a free2play battle royale all players have access to all the game options equally, since another different issue is the cosmetic items and other improvements that we can add to our account and that are acquired With the famous COD points that it is possible to accumulate game by game or much more quickly going through the box.
Proof that the community cannot be pushed too hard is that the game barely has 34% positive reviews on its official Steam page, while the rest are all negative. The majority, due not only to technical incidents, but also to Activision’s fundraising desire that reminds us with each step we take within Warzone 2.0 that we must buy (or so they say) Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 to have access to everything. So now you know what the remedy is and, as we already told you, you weren’t going to like it.
