Re: Are Battlefield 2042 and future (BF) titles pay to win?

@xpaydayxat the start I was like "what is he talking about" then I saw what you mean.
It is a rather bad idea to have a QoL skin under a paywall.

It might also be a bugged skin. the preview shows a normal RDS

    @xpaydayx yeah...that looks bugged. For a team that has everyone working on this game, kinda seems like a pretty big thing to miss.

    How crap this is so minor and folks obsession with viewing literally anything and everything as P2W is absolutely absurd. The term has lost any and all meaning it once held, this is dumb.

    @-DFA-Thump I don't think it's bugged I think it's intentional. It looks like a sight you might see 20 years from now. In all honesty it's nice to see some creativeness and originality from DICE on the topic of "near future" I just don't want any part of P2W in BF games. It's literally 2042 and we're getting old portal guns from previous games and they aren't taking creative risks enough IMO. I would love to see some fun concepted "futuristic" guns like an F3000 or something. Imagine a fun P90 inspired gun called the P40 or something.

    @xpaydayx I disagree given that this is extremely small of a "benefit" and that it costs around $10 to unlock access to it and spending more doesn't give any additional benefit.

    It's not P2W. This is not what P2W means.

    @edgecrusherO0 "you disagree" 1. You don't get to redefine what P2W is and 2. You just defended a "small benefit" by saying it's only $10. What is wrong with you?

    you are wrong.  this is definitely P2W.  P2W = pay real money to get an advantage over those who don't pay for it.

    gamers split hairs over smaller advantages than this and you don't think it's P2W?  look at the sight picture and it's on one of the most popular guns.

    i'm willing to bet the K30 doesn't see any adjustments so people will buy this skin.

    @Psubond I mean, it's legit just a slightly different red dot/ironsight crosshair. Whether it reasonably offers any kind of actual advantage in visibility over others is extremely nitpicky and fairly debatable.

    Gamers split hairs over all kinds of really, really, really, really dumb, pointless stuff all the time, and this is one of them IMO.

    But people won't "buy" the skin, they'll buy the BP - a whopping $10! - and earn. Or if they can't wait/have too much money they'll boost to it. But it'll hardly be unachievable to unlock via even fairly casual play throughout the season.
