[QUOTE=booster;23432935]Doesn't Activison have enough money already?[/QUOTE] They merged with Blizzard for fuck sake!. what?, Kotic cant afford his tenth solid gold private jet?.
[QUOTE=booster;23432935]Doesn't Activison have enough money already?[/QUOTE] Not according to Activision.
If you think that they want 12,000,000 people to pay for online at £5 per month, doing that removes ~50% of intelligent gamers from their player-base that leaves them with a monthly profit of 30million. Say that it drops by £2,000,000 every month (people losing interest etc etc) that leaves them with a yearly turnover of: 359 999 976 million. In other words: What the fuck?
Fuck. That. Shit.

If a game company doesn't get enough money, it means they make shitty games. Fuck you, activision.
The sad thing is that most people would buy the subscription.
Braindead kids with a parents credit card can pay for this. If you don't play modern warfare you aren't cool.
Well, no more Activision games for me. They sucked shit anyway.
Every part of it sounded like this in my head: "Instead of the users paying us more money for more pathetic games and DLC's, their playing games that they like and don't need to pay for more then once. We must change that and charge them to fill our pockets!... Yeah!" I have never seen soo much shit altogether from 1 company alone. It's like they want us to hate them! I don't get it :effort:
Is activision not aware of the gamers hating on them right now. I mean first the whole team who actually made CoD leave, for good reason too. They do a ton of other annoying bullshit, and now this?

Lol Pachter.
there just mad because xbox is getting a shitload of money from online service and they want a cut from that.
Analyst should be rated Clocks. Activision already have a rudimentary Pay 2 Play system in the form of Map Packs...
I'm starting to get the impression that video game companies don't really care about piracy too much, however they're using it as a scapegoat to do incredibly dumb shit with their games just to suck more money up.
[QUOTE=Xploder;23446098]Analyst should be rated Clocks. Activision already have a rudimentary Pay 2 Play system in the form of Map Packs...[/QUOTE] Activision is going to have a p2p system with a monthly fee. I don't think that's late.
Let me know when Activision has a game worth paying for.
Heck, I would still pay to play MW2! I don't think this will happen. at least in a nice way :/
[QUOTE=Gubbinz96]And they wonder why gamers hate them. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] The whole point of a business is to generate capital. They know people want to play games like MW2 online and they know, despite their reputation (if they're aware of it), that people will most likely pay to play games of similar caliber online, so it's a no brainer for them to start charging.
[QUOTE=Broseidon;23447185]Let me know when Activision has a game worth paying for.[/QUOTE] Better not ask that agian, it's like deviding by zero.
analyst probably hasn't considered the possibility that people play that much MW2 BECAUSE it is free to play after purchase. then again, it's not beyond the game industry to expect customers to go along with everything they do.
Lol buy the game, pay to receive an internet connection from a company, pay the online subscription to use xbox live and then pay the individual games pay to play fee, fuck off analyst.
[QUOTE=smidge146;23447205][B]Heck, I would still pay to play MW2![/B] I don't think this will happen. at least in a nice way :/[/QUOTE] Why?
[QUOTE=The golden;23447844]He's one of those people that would still buy it even if the box was full of shit.[/QUOTE] It's not really shit, however it's nothing to pay a 5-15 dollar monthly fee for.
they wont last a month after this
[QUOTE=The golden;23450809]You underestimate the hoards of teens that will still games with this.[/QUOTE] Well, let's hope their parents won't agree with this though, since it's most likely they who have to pay.
[QUOTE=Ghostz;23432684]*sigh* I'm gonna miss Bungie when they get ruined by Activision as well.[/QUOTE] Blizzard as well, the best gaming companies are basically going to get fucked over because of their partnership with activision.
