In reply to XbotMK1. So its a bad idea to put some of that money back into the hands of gamers? How is putting an XB1 player in the position of winning over a million dollars a joke? Why are you so hateful? I've never met a "gamer" so narrow minded & angry as you. SMH

In reply to GHz. Nice try. What a joke.

So basically Microsoft is ripping people off by making it extremely hard to unlock cosmetics so people will fork out extra money to purchase customizations that are already in the game? And instead of giving that money back to the community by giving out new DLC content to everyone, they’re giving the money to a few tournament winners instead. This is definitely not for the gamer. It’s for Microsoft to make a bit more money off content that is already in the game. This is not the appropriate way to do DLC microtransactions.

Check out this excellent review by Angry Joe. He did all the math for how snakey the microtransactions are. The content is already in the game but Microsoft made them extremely tedious to unlock. Not only would it take to long to get everything but the card packs are randomized. Skip to 26:00 for that part.

Great way to use the monies earned from micro transactions. Definetly for the gamers.
