Which, to be fair, Activision has- they introduced their own loot boxes to Call of Duty: WW2, which so far have been cosmetic only. But something more sinister may be upcoming- according to some datamines for the game’s files, it seems like Legendary and Epic rank weapons will soon be available in loot boxes, too. While you will be able to grind for them in game- given the blowback for Battlefront 2.
The concern comes when you ask what Sledgehammer are planning on doing with those datamined weapons (if anything - the usual caveat that not everything in a datamine will make it into the game should be borne in mind). In Black Ops III, weapon variants were added to loot boxes after launch that had different, and sometimes better, stats than the base gun.
This is the line that no-one wants to see crossed again. Provided they're only cosmetic, or can also be earned through gameplay (as in Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered), the community seems ready to tolerate this. There's no indication in the datamine one way or the other.
Right now, it has not- so no reason to get the pitchforks out just yet. But we need to be wary and vigilant- hopefully, Activision is smart and doesn’t implement these in game. Call of Duty: WW2 is out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
