Don't be mad, be glad. If you ask me this is a smart move, why waste money on games that have expensive peripherals and are dwindling in sale (DJ Hero, Guitar Hero, etc..) when you can make mad money selling map packs and COD every year...yeah.

Vote with your money people, stop supporting map packs....1.4 millions in MAP PACKS!!!!!!.....MAP PACKS!!!!!!!!! Yeah I am mad...they are mother 'effing MAP PACKS!!!! GOD! $15 for a MAP PACK...spend that in an actual game instead and stop supporting this company. I hear Demon Soul is going for $25 new, not to mention all those specials on STEAM every year and GOG.com games. Now thats money well spent.

Guitar and DJ and True Crime, Call of Duty will die and so will Activision

Shmotz5605d ago

Shame, DJ Hero was actually fun to play.

hot4play5605d ago

True. I have both DJ Hero 1 & 2 and I'm very disappointed with Activision. Poor Freestyle Games. The DJ Hero series really had a great soundtrack. And the gameplay was fun...

This is what I (and a lot of fans) get for buying their turntable? 2 games?? That's it??? Wow. Im really lost for words.

Screw Activision! Im really not buying their games anymore! WORST. PUBLISHER. EVER.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

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.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

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."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

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

dveio202d ago

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.

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
