2. Selling Modern Warfare: Remastered's DLC For More Than The Original Price

Sadly, the Modern Warfare controversy didn't end with Activision simply gating the game behind a special-edition version of Infinite Warfare. Despite receiving a kicking online for doing that in the first place, the company spent the next few months sticking it to the community even more.

First, microtransactions were introduced into the game in the form of new skins and weapons, which flew in the face of remastering it in the first place. MW was perfect as it was, and didn't need all this extra fluff that was clearly only there so players could spend even more money.

However, the killing blow - and the most unforgivable move - was re-releasing the DLC for the original game. Unlike most remasters which bundle all content associated with the initial release together for a 'definitive' edition, MW's expansion pack was suspiciously absent.

Thats because Activision sold it separately later, for a price that was even higher than it was when it came out the first time on the Xbox 360. At this point, the company wasn't even trying to hide the blatant greed.
