Kotick wants a subscription service for Call of Duty


There is a lot of hate toward Activision and Bobby Kotick these days, but this guy seriously brings it upon himself. I was already put off by the fact that they are charging so much for their DLC but if you thought that was bad lets take a looksie at what he told the Wall Street Journal when they asked "If you could snap your fingers, and instantly make one change in your company, what would it be, and why?"

"I would have Call of Duty be an online subscription service tomorrow. When you think about what the audience’s interests are and how you could really satisfy bigger audiences with more inspired, creative opportunities, I would love to see us have an online Call of Duty world. I think our players would just have so much of a more compelling experience"

WSJ then asked if a subscription service was heading towards Call of Duty Kotick replied said "hopefully" and that gamers were "clamoring for it".

I swear to god people. I really feel like we gave Activision the idea that we would buy anything they throw at us regardless of price. How far will this shit go? I really feel like this has got to end. And hopefully gamers express how they feel to these clowns. God knows we love petitions anyway.

Watch as the next Call of Duty game gives you a rifle and a sidearm but you need to fork over real cash for all your perks upgrades and additional weapons. What a crock.
