System and method for driving microtransactions in multiplayer video games

Activision is patenting purposefully shitty matchmaking.

For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, the microtransaction engine may match the player in a game play session in which the particular weapon is highly effective, giving the player an impression that the particular weapon was a good purchase. This may encourage the player to make future purchases to achieve similar game play results.
