PCN: "I recently read an article on a fellow site. Even though I didn't like the title being about Apple working with Sony to enter the game industry, I still couldn't help myself. Within the article they state Sony is supposedly dying in the console market and needs to be bought out by Apple to develop a new console. Well lets look at the obvious alternative, and why leaving the market alone is the best 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.
No thxs, i don't want a new console every year.
If they made a call of duty console that only played call of duty it might sell to some idiots..
EA console would have good games imo...
Apple wont enter. I have no doubt they'd get dev support but Apple is 1 of few companies that has a 100% profit rule. Can't do that in the gaming industry.
i would rather buy a console from KFC than Activision
What an utterly retarded article writer. First he claims that Apple can't afford to buy neither Sony nor the Playstation brand (in this I agree with him) but then he claims Activision would be better suited? Really? The writer doesn't seem to have any idea what he's rambling about.
I personally would never buy an Apple console/product. All companies try to create brand zombies from their consumer groups, but none like to enslave their zombies more than Apple.
