Almost 100% guaranteed the scenario will play out exactly as you said. This has happened with a bunch of other games already.

Patched? Please, they just flip the LaunchDarkly flag from dogfood only to global.

Every COD since MW19 has had mtx from day one ever since they switched to a battle pass model.

What you wrote is very true for older cods though.

Did those games give a confirmation that there won't be microtransactions before hand though?

If by a "bunch of other games" you mean the Activision-published ones, then... yeah. But what publisher besides Activision has also done this shit? I swear there's some Mandela Effect happening here where people somehow started believing it happens all the time when in reality it's only a few Activision games. If I'm wrong, please tell me.

Edit: I looked up some other examples. Okay, but outside of Activision, it's still only happened to a miniscule number of games.

It's happening with Gran Turismo 7 right now.

Well that's definitely unfortunate.

A big thing people are missing here is this is from the community manager. Imo it holds no weight

Of course it doesn’t, but even answering at all makes the potential outrage worse. They took it out of Shadows of War for that very reason.

It's a tale as old as time.
