Now that I think about it, is it even legal to sell a product that doesn't work?

^ this.

I read it like the single player part works without the patch... but if that doesnt work either? jebus... law suit time.

Well it shouldn't be legal to sell the product before launch date, so technically the product does work if it's sold on the date it's legally meant to.

I don't know. Do you think it would be fine to sell a car that doesn't work unless you take it to the repair shop because the dealer sold it earlier than anticipated?

Also, we're talking about a disc game, something that can't be updated. You will need the patch to make it work no matter when you purchase the game.

Nice job activision. Maybe make the game only activate online if you spend a minimum of $20 on loot boxes

Good on Activision, get so sick of story details being leaked before a game even releases, gets so hard to try and avoid the spoilers. Been trying to dodge Sonic Forces spoilers all week because it leaked early. 

I rather be spoiled than having my purchase be completley useless in 30 years,

or being able to reinstall and play my game if my internet goes offline. And how the hell are you going to be spoiled in a WWII game?

The Nazis lose in the end

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

Well I mean if you're going to buy a Call of Duty game without having an Internet connection...

Call of Duty always setting new bad trends. Nothing new.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Change happens. It's better to change with it than sit around and bitch... even if warranted.

I can see why Activision did this, but a physical copy should work out of the box point blank.

Don't read too much into it. It was done on purpose so those who got early copy's won't be able to play early, that's all.

So you are telling me I shoudl be holding a day 1 patch for 30 years if I ever want to play my PS4 then lol?

 

None of this BS that holds you hostage by the balls of needing the patch to play.

Is this still in the running for the record of Most Expensive Coaster?

The Xbox 1 didn't work without a day one patch if I recall correctly.

Seems similar..

To be fair they did advertise that as a "feature" at one point... So from a legal standpoint it might get treated differently.

It won't work after the launch date either if your internet connection is sub par or non-existent.

That is provided the content servers are even activated in 30 years time... Which means you would need to hunt around for a console that has the patch already downloaded to play this Physical release or enjoy a worthless coaster.
