Analysts, Michael Pachter, believes that you and other Call of duty player are willing to accept a pay to play plan.
I am calling BS on this. Are millions really going to throw their money out for a FPS? The problem with this is that this goes for one game and a game that doesn't run on a server like MMOs do. I also don't see where in a chart or data that says people are willing to pay anything for a game besides the sales of map packs (not sure of the numbers) but their also not thinking about people's feelings on this.
What do you guys think?

If Activision does pull something like this (Kotick wouldn't surprise me that he would want this), I will legitimately stop playing Call of Duty games and just start playing PC games from now on. Its one thing that I have to pay for Xbox Live but to pay extra to play a first person shooter?? MMO's I can understand why they have established a subscription fee but I'm never ever going to pay extra to play one game.
" FPS aren`t worth being payed for, honestly I don`t think consoles or any games should have to make a subscription service, but honestly I don`t think that will happen, one analyst predicted that xbox live will be $100 a year ... yeah "This is Activision we are talking about. Doesn't matter if it's a FPS, they will try it anyway. They do anything to earn more money.
Didnt we go over this idea all ready? And wasnt this dis proven by tweet posts? Im pretty sure it was even a News post.
Isnt patcher the one who said RDR would not sell?
