Bobby Kotick has often been gaming public enemy number one due to his very public favouring of paid subscription for Call of Duty; while I am also very reluctant to have to pay more for a game, might this not actually be such a crazy idea?
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.
yes for stock holders
When you're already paying for it and you have to pay even more, definitly not.
Xbox Live isn't too bad because it's best to be paying for something thats worth paying. I realised. That statement made no sense. :/
Besides, I dont pay for XBL. My mum buys it for me every xmas, so I dont mind :P
Good old Bobby K, He is a true businessmen. You make something that is off the carts with the gameing communtity, then charge them for everything you can. the man really knows how to make the company money.
No.
It depends on what is being offered for the money spent. If I can get a guarantee of no cheating, free DLC and constant updates, plus depending on the price, then ok.
