As far as in-game cosmetic items go, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare may have just taken the crown. Expanding the title’s roster of wristwatches is the Tomogunchi, a fully-fledged Tamagotchi-esque virtual pet that you need to feed, clean, and interact with – all while in the heart of battle. There’s a particularly potty-mouthed 12-year-old who’s going to rue the day you spent 1,000 COD Points on this.
Just like any virtual pet, the better you look after it the more it will grow. Completing actions within the game’s multiplayer will boost the rate at which your mounted critter evolves, and developer Infinity Ward’s teasing various secrets which the community is currently busy trying to unearth. It’s all surprisingly deep, and while it may be pricey, this is the kind of microtransaction that we can actually get behind.

Gotta catch them all!
Oh wait. Wrong 90s trend!
Why feed your enemies lead when you can feed your virtual pet virtual food?

Interesting news. Last year, someone already talked about such an innovation, but then it was regarded as a joke. The idea is interesting, because the pet grows due to kills in the game is cool. That is, when the game is going badly, it may even die. I like such virtual things, I often spend time at https://virivr.com.au/, they have a bunch of cool games. It's fun to spend time playing virtual reality games. I have not tried playing with this Tomogunchi yet. I wonder what will come of it.
