At this point, we are used to video games constantly collaborating with various intellectual properties, from ‘Dune’ to the latest anime. We have taken for granted that ‘Fortnite’, ‘Fall guys’ and ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ will try to make money with different events, and it has even been accepted as another way to literally turn video games into a catch-all where everything fits.
King of Duty
The latest collaboration of ‘Call of Duty’ (‘Modern Warfare 3’ and ‘Warzone 2.0’, specifically) has been with the movie Godzilla X Kong, and it has consisted of a good amount of weapons and skins that have been well received by fans. Well, except for one: now you can buy, for more money than the game itself, a King Kong glove. So far, everything relatively fine: fans expected that, given its abnormally high price, it would have incredible special features.
But no. The reward for buying Kong’s fist is, well, looking cool with Kong’s fist. It doesn’t have any special effects in the game, nor new animations, but it has a special sound when you use it. I guess it’s worth spending the 80 euros it costs. You wouldn’t want to play ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ without your absurd fist, right?
Oh, yes, and it’s called “BEAST glove”. What else do you want. Ironies aside, game fans are starting to fear that this will become a tradition: useless items at very high prices so that a few unsuspecting people fill Activision‘s coffers. I repeat: this costs 80 euros. You decide if your passion for the gigantic monkey is worth it.
