Kotick Wants Call of Duty Subscriptions "Tomorrow"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
I vowed to never buy another Activision game
I obviously can't do that with the Activision/Blizzard partnering.
But I won't buy anything else Activision is involved in!

I saw this coming.
Activision show how money hungry they are...
And besides, CoD MW2 was the best selling game ever apprently, they arnt short on money, not to mention the £10 map packs they robbed everyone with...
Really, did he do market research or make that up?

Oh yes, everyone really wants to pay for something they have already payed for!

You know what the really pathetic part is, you just know there are legions of fans who will actually pay, this will turn a tremendous profit I blame the gamers for having no spine you let them suck the marrow from the bone of the industry like complaicent hosts.
Glad I never got into fps >_>

The majority of people playing MF2 online are paying microsoft for the privilege, despite this being considered unnecessary on all other platforms. All Kotick has to do is convince people that paying a subscription is the norm, and people will forget that it can be done any other way.thethingthatlurks said:
I would never by this but my siblings are CoD Fanatics, the old CoD Community i knew and loved with Cod to CoD 2 is well and truely dead.
you could only get me slightly interested if this meant a small, monthly or yearly fee coupled with Persistant Updates, Maps, Co-Op missions ectera. If we pay them Millions i want my moneys worth.

If they are going to do something like this, they need to give us a good reason why. If this is followed by, say, an endless stream of free map-packs- paid for with the subscription money, see- then I can see some sense in it. Sorta like Blizzard's been doing with WoW all this time (providing constant updates of content for free, thereby keeping the user base happy).
But if this is just subscriptions for the sake of subscriptions, I have to laugh. People won't fall for that. Activision will lose even more customers, and drive them right into the arms of EA and their Medal of Honor/Battlefield combo.

Now that's a good point, let me think for a bit,
Oh wait never mind, that's absolute bullsh-
On a serious note, Kotick doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who exactly knows what the gamers actually want, and what they clamour for. So I am immediately inclined to take his whole experience enrichment speech with a fistful of salt.

OT: This sucks. This really really sucks.
But, damn, they'll get a huge ammount of money from this.
I mean, did you see the sale figures for the MW2 overpriced map packs? Yeah.
Well, same thing here.
Not only is Activision fucking over the creators of my favorite franchise, it is now murdering the franchise itself.
I don't think he realises that most gamers are out to spend the least amount of money possible. While I'm sure there's dollar signs rolling in his eye sockets and nickel alloy clogging the arteries of his black burned out heart, he probably doesn't realise that this service will bite them in the arse and players will lost interest.
The fanbase for Call of Duty is already dwindling thanks to the removal of dedicated servers from MW2.
