I wonder how people that don't play Call of Duty feel. They're paying to subsidize a franchise they don't play.

You don't even know how much they get.
Lets go crazy and speculate! Say MS gives Activision $0.25 from every account and lets assume there are 10 million Gold accounts. That's millions of dollars for Activision just for their support.
Now what does Activision get for having the most popular game on PS3 and PSN? Hmmmm...
|
Millions of sales, poor them huh.
|
Right, and it helps sell Sony hardware.
|
Many games shift hardware, should they all get a proportionate percentage of the XBL fee? If a game only has 20% of the players CoD does should it get only 5 cents, using your example figure.
Upping the fee for CoD onto people who do not play it is bogus.

No, because activision is also the biggest publisher in the world. CoD is their biggest console franchise, sure, but overall they account for a lot of games, CoD is just the biggest seller. Bear in mind, even if a game sells a few million copies, it's probably not bringing people onto live for $5/month. CoD is one of the few franchises with enough popularity to, on its own, convince people to subscribe to gold, and thus be worth a modest share of the profits.
