So most of us know that Activision is probably the worst publisher in gaming. However I was surprised to find out that the COD MW campaign is not available for the first 30 days except on PS. Know I understand the ridiculous deals they have made with Sony concerning DLC, but this is blocking main game content that is essentially on the disc.
Has Activision doing this taken its deal with Sony to far. Blocking what everyone is paying equal money for. Keep in mind this is not DLC. I know some of you don't play COD or don't care or are PS owners but this seems to be taking it to far. It certainly is setting a dangerous trend.
Edit: someone pointed out that the campaign is available Oct 5 if you buy it digitally on Ps.
Edit 2: to be clear this is the icing on the cake. Throw in Destiny PS exclusive items. Add to that a shitty port of Transformers for $50, a ghostbusters game that looks like it belongs on PS 2 and Transformers and TMNT games that are cash grabs. To top it off all the micro transactions in bo3 and I see a pattern
Edit 3: long may Phil Spencer rein as the voice of reason

Activision went too far in 2010 tbh
-
It's the campaign...
-
3 RespuestasNo, if anything year exclusives for destiny are the only real issues here. Even though I'm a ps player, it's wrong to have 1 year exclusives, 1 or 2 months is fine. 1 year? No way.
-
Its 30 days....for the campaign....from 10 years ago...shut up. Call me when they get 30 day access to mp.

2 RespuestasEditado por KAROBBO666: 9/8/2016 1:38:16 PMDude it's 30 days you need to relax man read a book or you know, play the other game you bought so you could play this remaster that they will just go and sell in a couple months time. Some people get so worked up over nothing.
-
2 RespuestasYou could always just, you know, not buy Activision games. If it weren't for the fact that gamers are the biggest collective of stupid consumers on the planet.
-
Boycott COD
-
1 RespuestaI don't think any group of people on the entire planet whine and complain about products as much as gamers
-
People mostly buy it for the Multiplayer anyways. But I agree, these exclusive deals are ridiculous!
-
Yeah that seems stupid. Unfortunately there can only be two gaming systems though. How could the industry survive with only one gaming system?
-
2 RespuestasNyet. They have not gone far enough. Make the remaster a WiiU exclusive. That'll teach all these Playstationers and Xboxers that they were on the wrong side of the console wars. Muahahahahaahaha!!!
-
3 RespuestasActivision are butthurt that Phil spencer told them to do one when they wanted to renew the third party exclusives with Xbox. This made them go to Playstation, who could pay less for exclusivity because Xbox didn't do any bidding. They're just salty that Microsoft isn't bending over to their ridiculous demands.
-
Do u have a source. I'm not doubting you, this is just the first time I'm hearing about this.
-
10 RespuestasSee while EA aren't really any better at all it was EA I was originally boycotting but having played TF2 and BF1 I can say I'll be getting them. Acti on the other hand have nothing either released or upcoming that remotely interests me.
-
4 RespuestasActivision should have just remastered CoD4 and made it $30.
-
4 RespuestasSpeak with your wallet then and don't get it until a month later. Or better yet, don't get it at all. This shit will never change if people keep buying this garbage.
-
7 RespuestasSo.... it's ok to buy a one year exclusivity deal for a multiplatform game, but completely unacceptable to wait 30 days for MW? Never mind that all of last gen Microsoft had a 30 day exclusivity deal for COD dlc?
-
CoD stopped being good after Ghosts came out. From there on, it was just downhill.
-
-
To be honest Infinite Warefare isn't enough for me to purchase just for MW. I ll wait for it to go one sale. I give to like 6 months. COD hit the toliet around Black ops 2. enough said.
-
42 RespuestasThey can have it.. Playstation is literally only popular because of CoD. Which is why all children play PS Don't be mad bro. It's always better to main Xbox.
-
Isn't the ceo of Activision the guy who said that he wants to sell games at 100 dollars just for the basic game
-
1 RespuestaI don't know if they've gone [b][u]too[/u][/b] far.
-
2 RespuestasEditado por Nashtalia: 9/7/2016 3:28:20 PMwell yeah, there will be socks included in the Ultimate IW edition. socks.

1 RespuestaActivision has been testing the waters of their fanbase with Dlc/exclusives for nearly a decade now. Clearly they have been told it doesn't matter to their fans because their games still sell well. Now if Xbox sales declined significantly and ps sales stayed the same you might see them stop offering these bs exclusives. But until gamers start protesting with their wallets nothing will change.
-
Oh well, it's only CoD.
