Kotick Wants COD Subscriptions
"Hopefully" coming, according to Bob.Published: 9:30, 21/06/2010 by Tuffcub.
81Mr Bob Kotick has been talking to the Wall Street Journal and has described how if he had his way, he would turn Call Of Duty in to an online subscription service ‘tomorrow’. His full comment was:
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.
I think you are all intelligent enough to work out why Bob would want to make Call Of Duty pay-to-play. When asked if customers are ready for a subscription service Bob replied:
I think our audiences are clamoring for it. If you look at what they’re playing on Xbox Live today, we’ve had 1.7 billion hours of multiplayer play on Live. I think we could do a lot more to really satisfy the interests of the customers. I think we could create so many things, and make the game even more fun to play. We haven’t really had a chance to do that yet, so that would be my snap of the fingers.

Of course Kotick wants online subscription, if he could get away with it he’d tax your wages to keep Activision.

i would rather they just be done with it and do this! SP MW2 was crap! so its just a waste of time, the should just do online only, and then make a proper game for SP

Bob is great comedy value and all this Infinity Ward / COD nonsense has kept him away from Transformers which is a godsend.

True, but a while back he said he didn’t like the things people said on the Internet… then stop giving them ammunition.

Well, that guys a tool anyway. I’m thinking that the last COD i bought will be my last, just such a poor game for me that it wasn’t worth buying.

Oh, I dont know about that. I traded MW2 in this weekend and got £20 for it, considering I bought it for £26 from Sainsburys, thats a good 7 months gaming for £6. As long as the next game has a decent price war, Ill buy into it.. ;)

I got £28 for my £26 Sainsbury’s copy in March ;-). But I’m with spooferbarnabas, never buying another COD.

“I think our audiences are clamoring for it.” = I’m pretty sure we are NOT.

Kotic would have had a few nice words to say to you about even joking about that! FREE??? Activision??? I might not live to see that.

Kotich, they’re building a special version of torture for you in the fourth circle of hell; Greed.

Had some serious good fun on the MoH beta last night, this along with bf bc 2 will satisfy my online shooting needs.
Only played mw 2 for a week and will give next one a wide berth, as much because of the other players as the actual game.

When he talks about how big the online audience is, which is huge now, does he seriously think it won’t lose popularity with a subscription?
People will just flock to MoH, Bf:BC KZ etc
He doesn’t have a monopoly in the online FPS market like he almost does with WoW

I agree. Why pay for an online FPS of COD, when there’s around half a dozen better online games you could play for free?

But people still pay for CoD subscription… already sold piece of crap MW2 ;]
