    Fans are also suspicious that the game requires MW2 to launch making the entire game seem like a $70 DLC

      Seems like COD should just be a service at this point and you pay for the new yearly xpac. I hate suggesting that but that’s what the series seemed to be since OG MW2. Guess it’s just milk the money until enough people say enough

        They’d probably make more money that way. Which I think is why they’re moving towards it.

        Even if it was the same money, people buy it when it comes out so they spend money making it for a year, and get all the profit at once.

        Skins sell constantly, and keeps them profitable everyday. With a hyper focus on “quarterly earnings” this keeps stock up all year even if total profit on the year is the same. They want that sustained profit.
