I did google it and I saw alot of ninty fans making a big deal out of it. People can't transfer dlc or accounts of cod to different hardware or any other multiplayer game in general. That's normal. If someone decides to go further then that's just extra.

The writing's on the wall though. More and more games are going the service route. Devs want everyone in the same ecosystem. The bigger a userbase, the longer a game can survive, the longer it survives the more DLC $$$ it makes.

Sony got away with giving Minecraft and Rocket League the middle finger. It'll be interesting to see how they treat FIFA, GTAonline and CoD going forward.

You're forgetting something very important in this. Devs/pubs make more money when gamers buy the game and dlc for it on multiple platforms multiple times. The small devs are willing to bend over backwards in some cases to get as many players as possible but that wouldn't ever happen in something like cod. Also, some of you are conflating cross play with this when it's not specifically related to that.
