The last call of duty game I played charged me $60 up front and then was largely free from all future costs, except some add-on dlc I chose to buy later. MTX was there but only as cosmetic items. This state of things was fine.
However they eventually added overpowered weapons that could only be unlocked via expensive rng loot boxes and that's when I stopped playing.
that cod was one of their highest revenue microtransaction platforms to date
No, this was years ago. Black Ops 2 (or was it 3?). One of those. Haven't touched cod since they added p2w mechanics.
