10 Updates To Video Games That Completely Broke Everything
7. 1.08 Update Added Predatory Microtransactions - Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
Though Activision received plenty of flak for initially only allowing owners of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare to purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, that seemed like a positively harmless infraction compared to what would arrive with the game's 1.08 patch three months after release.
While Activision predictably didn't wait more than a few weeks to plug microtransactions into Modern Warfare Remastered - despite the original game having no such nonsense - they initially insisted the game's supply drops would only contain cosmetic items.
But lo and behold, two months after MTX were introduced, fans discovered that the 1.08 patch introduced new advantageous weaponry in the supply drops, thereby encouraging players to throw down real world money in order to have a greater chance of the RNG working in their favour.
Fans craving the nostalgic comfort of the original game felt understandably betrayed, causing many to abandon Modern Warfare Remastered and never return.
