'In every single console transition we've seen an increase in expenditure'
Development costs will increase for studios creating games for next generation platforms, the CEO of Activision has said.
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
LoL, of course for AAA titles cost will rise. What I find funny is this douche has profited the most off a game that has ran off a modded engine from 2004. I am pretty sure the COD costs lest than the price of printing the game on DVD and this idiot wantsw to talk about costs. If Killzone 4 or Halo 5 come out, yeah then maybe it's justified at $65 or something, but unless they get a new engine and new ideas for once, then future COD games should cost no more than $40. Hell COD has some of the most expensive DLC and a $50 server app. Screw you Kotick.
he want the dev cost higher so he can charge more for his activision shity games.
this tells me they want to keep call of duty the exact same way as its always been! OUTDATED!
I bet he is just saying that so he can make cod 70-80$. Its not like cod takes much to make. One guy he gets paid in 1 6 pack of beer, then he updates the textures and churns out a turd of a storyline.
marketing, licencing and all that mumbo jumbo cost more to make than the actual game itself.
