1. That 50.4% finished the first mission so they didnt just press start on it.

2. Most single player games average like 30% completetion and since CoD is multiplayer focus and has 222% completetion thats actually not bad. Also WW2 has a total of 25m players so a little bit more than 12.5m played the campaign and 5.5m finished it. Thats a large number to make the campaign worth it. Most single player only games dont even reach 5.5 or 12.5m in sales.

3. For Bo4 they already started the campaign but stopped it because they did not have enough time to finish it.

1. Cool, 50% people followed an AI soldier and watched a few cutscenes. Great!

2. 22% is less than 30% by quite a lot. Especially since COD campaigns are short.

3. They should have never continued it and should go all out on multiplayer. They probably didn't even get halfway through and realize campaigns are worthless for COD.

About 35% of all WW2 players haven't even managed to kill 10 people online. That should be easily possible within a few rounds, even for a terrible player.
It's fair to say that ~50% of all players haven't spent more than 1 or 2 hours online.

Black Ops 3 on 7th Gen.

Hence why I played along.

Which has what to do with your incorrect logical fallacies?

Indeed. You are entitled to do so, even when your position is errant and/or fallacious, but I am also allowed to call you up on that.

Depends on the type of business and the business model they thus employ.
However.
If you think that building a single player component into Call of Duty is suddenly going to blow costs out the wazoo, making the game unprofitable when some games in the series are shifting 30+ million copies, selling 20+ million copies of map packs, with a sprinkling of additional Microtransaction sales on top... Then to put bluntly. You are kidding yourself.

Really no excuses financially for removing a single player component, it's the Single Player that got Call of Duty recognized back in the day as it was that very component that allowed the franchise to be set apart from the competition.

 

1. Again, what major COD doesn't have a single player campaign.

2. Then why so serious?

3. You were being a hypocrite that's why.

4. You didn't call me out on anything with logic yet.

5. The goal of a company is maximizing their profits. You shouldn't do anything just to make people feel good unless it results in more money.

Ugh, so we're now at the point where people are defending companies releasing incomplete games for full price all in the name of "dem prahfitz!"? 

This is why scumbag companies get away with cutting and charging pieces of their games and intentionally watering down their games to scam people into spending more money on shoehorned-in microtransactions (I'm looking at you, NBA 2K18). 

Knowing Activision, though, they might sell it later at an additional cost.

I don't understand their line of thinking either. It's Anti-Consumer rhetoric, it's why we got loot boxes.

I own every Call of Duty game, if there is no Singleplayer, then there is no purchase, simple as that.

IKR? These people (corporate elitist shills) defending scummy, anti-consumer business practices are ruining gaming for everyone else.

They're the reason why they get away with it. Stop taking that corporate dick in your ass from the EAs, Activisions, Konamis, etcs of the world and MAYBE they'll stop.

Millions still managed to beat the game. Did you bother to do the math?

I doubt it will be 40 dollarydoo's, this is Activision remember.

Yeah, but most spend their time on multiplayer. Also, it won't be 40 dollars right away, but give it a couple weeks and it will. I remember the last COD drop to 40 dollars after a month.

Pretty much all AAA games on ps4 drop to 40 after a few weeks or months. Its a very competitive market place psn and sales are super frequent.
