That's not going to happen. MS bought Activision to bolster their Game Pass catalog and having an annual or bi-annual CoD will be huge for growth and retaining subs. MS is 100% in on Game Pass and taking a loss initially is not their main concern. You also need to remember that CoD will still release on other platforms like Minecraft so they will still be selling copies. But being available on Game Pass day 1 will attract a lot of people to want an Xbox or PC. 

Sony won't do this because they literally can't afford it.

This article makes me question that. (also posted on VGC some time ago but couldn't find it, sorry, I rather advertise links from this website than other sites) This could just be Phil's way of slowly pulling back so they can make that Activison money lol

Of course I could be 100% wrong, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.  

The biggest thing you always hear about Game Pass is day 1. As soon as MS would deviate from that, even in the slightest, they would get roasted third degree burn style. They can't remove day 1.

I think the only way out would be to increase the tier prices, or add a top tier above ultimate to try to offset the costs for all tiers. Netflix ain't as cheap as it used to be.
