I see where you're coming from, but it's not the same thing. You're talking about 30 day exclusivity on maps as opposed to year-long content being locked on one system, and not just map packs, but an entire game mode being locked on one system for a whole year, in which case, it might as well be full-on exclusive since the next CoD will already be out by the time it hits XB1 and PC. But in any case, you can't blame Sony for this. It's Activision being greedy, everyone knows they don't need help making any of this timed-exclusive content, they're a fucking multi-$bil company. They could literally afford to make these games F2P with no microtransactions for years and still stay in business, but they do it, anyway because they try to get every last dime they can out of these games via milkage. If Sony doesn't accept these shady deals they offer them, then they'll go to MS and you know they'll accept it to try and get a leg up on the competition. |
I was being sarcastic, no the situations aren’t the same.
And you can blame MicroSony any time they do one of these deals. You said Activision could run CoD F2P for years because they have tons of money, well MicroSony has tons of money too. Neither needs these deals but they make them. Sony signed this one for the same thing you said above about Activision, they’re a company looking for profit. Nothing more.
None of these companies are out there pumping out consoles for the fun of it. They’re all trying to make as many nickels as possible.
