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...

Are you guys only talking about the visual site and not anything stat related? If so, this is a bit of a stretch to throw out P2W...

@Albake21z Specifically the sight, yes. How is it a stretch when something is physically different than that of what other people can't access. They are locking content behind a paywall which they said real gameplay changes will be available to everyone. When you start doing that you creep into P2W territory.

@xpaydayx I'm at work right now so I can't jump in game or even see the video all too well.

What's the magnification on it? If it's the same as the other red dots in the game, I don't see an issue here. It's just a reflex/red dot sight but without the top panel. I don't see the advantage here.

  @Albake21z Well I don't have the skin so I'm not sure what the magnification is but the sight picture is much wider than the normal sight so it's not just the border that is gone. Also the dot itself has significantly less bloom and is finer defined than the other dots making it obstruct your targets less.

@xpaydayxIf it’s only view related it’s hardly p2w

If the skin would boost k30 stats in the slightest way then you can call it p2w

I mean I use the new Irish skin from the battle pass therefore people wont notice me that fast in green sorroundings so… p2w ?
No

It is just a skin with a open ironsight that have a red dot in it,

  I went to vid to see what is it about and I hardly see it as p2w. It's just a different skin for the sight.
  For those who didn't see the vid - tlds version.
  
  This is what it all about. That the sight don't have upper cap. Not better magnification or any stat related feature.
  Also I personally find it harder to see that dot than other sights. Yes there is a red dot but I think it is opposite of p2w as it makes things worse.

    look at the blur around the sight for the rest of the image and compare that to other sights. you don't lose the ability to look around like you do with other sights PLUS there is no edge to the sight blocking anything out (on top)
