Activision seems to be on quite a roll with pissing off their user base.  Their newest declaration may top the heap: Activision wants to start charging an online fee to play their Call of Duty games, similar to World of Warcraft.

Speaking at BMO Capital Market Conference, the CFO of Activision Blizzard, Thomas Tippl, said, “You should expect us to test and ultimately launch additional online monetization models of some of some of our biggest franchises like Call of Duty.”

While he admits it may be difficult to replicate the same format that World of Warcraft uses, there is no doubt that Tippl is looking forward to charging even more to play Activision’s games.  I guess charging $60 for the games with a few $10 map packs thrown in isn’t enough…

Activision wins single handed for trying to kill of it's most popular francise.

Honorable metion is microsoft with HALO.

I wouldn't buy a call of duty game if they charged for the online.

Well they could get away with doing it. But it would cripple sales.

but I thought they only needed the Ps3 to cut its price to start making money.

Hah, they made pletny with 360 sales a lone.

PS3 sales just made them even richer.

@ bon

You are missing the point.

OT : DIE KOTICK DIE !

you said it.

if they can justify the online fee only then but it is good the way things r now... they r just taking a bit too far now with this greedyness.... i ain't payin nuffin on top of xbox live i was plannin to pay for ff14 on the ps3 cuz psn is already free and it depends on their monthly fees.

Battle.net is next.
