TMNT BO6 Crossover Pricing Sparks Fan Backlash

Black Ops 6 TMNT Crossover Sparks Backlash Over Premium Pricing

Call of Duty fans are voicing frustration with Black Ops 6's monetization after its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration. The premium-priced cosmetic items are drawing criticism in the $70 AAA title.

Players Balk at TMNT Skin Prices

The Season 2 Reloaded crossover with TMNT has disappointed players with its pricing structure. Each turtle character skin costs $20, with Master Splinter locked behind the $10 Battlepass Premium Track. Purchasing all content would total over $100 including weapon blueprints.

Fans contrast this with free-to-play titles like Fortnite, where similar crossover bundles are significantly cheaper. "Spending $100 on cosmetics in a $70 game is ridiculous," one Reddit user commented. The non-transferable nature of these purchases to future Call of Duty titles adds to player frustration.

Technical Issues Compound Player Frustration

With only 47% positive reviews on Steam, Black Ops 6 faces multiple complaints beyond monetization. Players report persistent crashing issues and widespread cheating problems in multiplayer. Some are protesting Activision's AI integration by using AI-generated negative reviews.

"After multiple crashes and hacker encounters, I can't recommend this experience," one Steam review stated. Others highlight matchmaking problems, with some players reporting 15-minute queue times only to face obvious cheaters.

Despite these issues, Black Ops 6 continues performing well financially through its battle pass system. However, player pushback suggests growing discontent with premium pricing in full-price AAA titles.
