Forums - Gaming Discussion - CoD: Modern Warfare Spec Ops Survival Mode Exclusive for 1 Year

Good for me I guess, this was the first COD i was going to buy in nearly 10 years. I'd rather it was exclusive on a console i play regularly than one I don't. Would be better if everyone got it though.

I just wish Microsoft and Sony wouldn't pay to get these launched exclusively on their devices and not Nintendos.



This is really the worst business practice in the whole gaming industry I guess. Even moneyhatting third party exclusives timed or not doesn't feel as bad as something like this. It at least can help a bit to polish the game for one specific platform so the overall product quality can be higher compared to multiplatform release. But when platform holder pays to the publisher to cut something from already finished product on other platforms it is really inexcusable. I wouldn't surprise if the content of this mode is already exists in PC/Xbox One versions and will just be locked out until October 2020.



 

I dont approve of this practice.

But if Sony doesn't do this, MS will (and vice versa). That's just how the business is. It's so common now it just doesn't matter to me anymore.



1 year exclusive content seem quite high even more for a yearly title near end of gen.

Not that I have any real interest in CoD.

About the dev talking, he will probably will have issues as he is basically badmouthing both his senior level management and the company that they associated with.

Don't think either Sony or MS have paid to CoD to not be on Switch.

Or are you complaining that Nintendo doesn't do it?

I don't get it. What is Activision gaining by doing this?

I was being sarcastic



Dumb when MS did it, and it’s still dumb

This only hurts consumers, and when you consider the COD cycle is only a year long that’s pretty disgusting.



This must be an experiment for when next gen starts. It doesn't really help them now , but I guess if they get good data for next gen, they will decide if it is worth it or not.
