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

I don't see a lot of people talking about this and I know it's quite a hot topic in other games. I'm curious to hear what everyone's opinions/thoughts are on this. The new K30 skin in particular righ...

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.

@edgecrusherO0 Anything that gives you a fighting edge is P2W bud.

@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.
