Yes, you can. Sony can simply say "hey, no shareplay, no PS4for you." You think Activision would walk away from that much money? PS4 is the leading console and by a large margin. Sony has ALL the power right now. If they wanted to force shareplay, they could.

That is the quickest way for Sony to lose 3rd party support. 

The market leader has ALWAYS had the leverage, not the other way around. No consoles, no sales. That's the way it's always been. If COD AW doesn't let us use shareplay, it's because Sony let them.

If I'm honest most big 3rd party games will probably block this unless Sony pays for them to allow it.

Lets wait till the midnight launch to pass total judgement. This may just be a early access thing.

Most games are released on Tuesday, so it may just be a deny of early access game.

We will see.

Now this is classic. lol

It may be blocked permanently, but shouldn't people wait for the official release to see for sure? the game only officially releases tomorrow, today is day 0.

It's possible it's only blocked for early access.

No it is not, they said so. They probably have the option to block parts of the game for specific purposes such as spoilers etc. This is probably just abusing the system.

This may also be a prerelease thing. Isn't it launching tommorrow?

Hey remember when Nintendo was the market leader with NES and SNES? They treated 3rd parties like garbage. How much support do they get nowadays?
