Activision Sells a Single Dot in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for $1

Activision has rolled out a new batch of in-game items that players can purchase in the Black Market, and one of the things for sale is a dot for $1! Ehm, no this is not a joke.

It’s a single dot that can be used as a reticle for the Reflex gun sight mentions mp1st. Check out the image - you clearly see only one single dot on the left-hand side of the image. So that’s the item for sale!! It’s currently priced at 50 COD Points ($.50 cents) given there’s a limited 50 percent sale happening right now until the first day of 2019. Otherwise, it’s a flat 100 COD Points ($1) to acquire this dot.

Activision earns over $4 billion a year in microtransactions alone.

Oof, they'd have to sell a good 4 of that to make their money back for labour costs

Games with MTX... It is like : "Be very careful what you invite." And then in 95% I'll put game into ignore list for pay-2-win mechanic of sorts.
I do not mind smaller studio having cosmetic MTX, that's fine with me.

But long time ago, there was this game which had item upgrade system in which each upgrade could burn your item down upon going from +3 to +4 and +5(max). And consumable MTX which prevents it. Chance for successful upgrade was like 40%, So I guessed I can have full upgrade of gear for $30. I guessed wrong. It failed to upgrade weapon to +5 whole 30 times in row.

It was great game, I had fun. That's why I considered it as way of support since they had no visual MTX. And I wanted to get my gear from +4 which I risked via standard upgrades to +5 in process. Well spent $30. It could have been more expensive lesson.

pay-2-win/gambling? Never again.

It's bad enough that there's an emote where your specialist eats a banana, description says something like "can be used on all specialists", turns out Firebreak + Seraph can't use it due to their masks.

$4 please.
