  @JMaine518 The issue is that cod was never designed to be a subscription based title. They tried it before and it didn't work. The game and studios are way too expensive. Whereas a game like Forza is designed with GP in mind. The only other franchise that would be too big is GTA.

  @GGamingAR Not all gamers play COD. Certainly not me. What's the problem?

  @wllmlew @solspun2 @Septic_Sauce If that sounds like a good deal, why didn't they just leave CoD in GP & drop it to $25-28... It would still be a good deal, right? 🤔 Reality is, they removed CoD, & gave the service an $84 price cut. Which really only saves you about $7 if you are a CoD buyer.

  Yes but if xbox was to buy EA for example so they can claim FC as an exclusive my point is that they will be buying a short term fix like they attempted with cod. For it to be a successful acquisition that boosts sales there has to be visible improvement that shows why its worth buying. People are already against buying new fifa games, apart from the young kids who dont understand how money works. 10 years ago everyone i knew would buy cod and fifa day 1 if not already preordered. Now with the game costing so much people are hesitant to drop $80/£70 because of the state of the game. People will be less likely to buy if they also have to drop £800+ on another platform just to play that game. I understand your point about it being a best seller but look at BF6 as an example. So many people had enough of cod that BF6 sales went through the roof in hopes people found a better FPS shooter to play. Obviously though it didn't succeed either as well as hoped

  It's not amazing. No one had to find a way. People just did math. (20 + 10 - 7) = 23 > 20. And the people who were complaining before about stuff being added to the service that they didn't want, while CoD was removed (when some of them actually wanted that), still have valid complaints for being charged more for content that to them is useless. These are the kinds of understandings of consumerism that can be grasped when not trying to talk in absolutes and war-ride for a brand. Not everyone sees the change as positive. If you do, great. But that's not a reason to be dismissive and marginalizing of the way other people feel about it.

  @Damien07562519 @XboxGamePass the Main Problem is Gamepass is meant to give you access to Games not Subscriptions within Games, that's an additional cost to a free to play game, Removing CoD leads to a very slippery Slope, if they can stop that being a Day 1 title then what happens a year from now when the price increases to $24.99 (due to inflation) Do they stop releasing other Big 1st party AAA Games from going Day 1 in order to keep the price down, Microsoft Made a commitment to release all 1st Party Games day 1, they have just gone back on that Commitment to reduce the price, when in reality there's other things they could have removed to reduce the Price, other Subscriptions bundled in should have been the 1st thing on the chopping board. They could have condensed the Tiers Down to just Essential, Premium & Ultimate across Console, PC & Cloud and removed PC Gamepass as a standalone Subscription, i don't understand why it's so hard for them to see how to fix this, having said that i was perfectly fine Paying $29.99 because i play that many Games, i was still saving well in excess of $1000 a year.

  @Firebreather452 @majornelson @asha_shar You could argue that’s the same for Netflix. Problem with gaming subscription services is games like COD are not one and done. They are long term investment playing games. They don’t work being rented

  Clementine 🌸 (@bayhrbrbaguette) reported 17 minutes ago

  i say this because of L4D1 and L4D2's the sacrifice and crash course campaigns being paid dlc only on xbox, and its said that microsoft didn't let it be free dlc because they feared they would appear "unfair to everyone else" who needed to do paid dlc like cod with map packs

  @K__Med We all know why COD was really cut at this point. It wasn't generating millions for Microsoft/Activision by being on the service.

  Would be really great if @CallofDuty were to get rid of the SBMM in expired call of duty games like MW3 so that you’re not sitting waiting for a match for so long 2 years after support for the game ended. Also fix the damn stats for MW3

• 
  Lacuna ➐ (@LacunaAssassin) reported 23 minutes ago

  @RotoSurgeon That's because this is the only subscription service for entertainment to hit $30 a month on its own. They realized people weren't buying, so instead of dropping it back to $15 a month how it was before COD was in Gamepass Ultimate, they opted to charge you more at $23 a month.

• 
  SimplyChris クリス (@simplychristv) reported 44 minutes ago

  @IsKing__ @Dexerto It's not. The main reason why the latest COD didn't sell was because it was on Game Pass on day one. People instead of purchasing the game by paying the full price, they have spent those 30$ and saved a lot of money. Now what you think would happen if all the Call of Duty players instead of paying the full price, will instead do the Ultimate? No one would purchase the game (physically and digitally) anymore because it's already in the Game Pass on Day one, which means, a lot of money would be lost because of this strategy. Giving Call of Duty on day one through Game Pass would kill the franchise. Also, if they still do a Call of Duty like the latest one, the real problem is not the Game Pass.

  Cod is better than 98 percent of the game pass catalog ao hell just buy the game and dont pay for game pass problem solved

  @GamingSinceNES @PeterP_1985 @inkedELCHAPO See, that's my issue. CoD campaigns used to be longer and more meaningful in its storytelling, set pieces and characters. Action movie like campaigns sound nice, but I miss the Medal of Honor/Brothers In Arms types. That's why I feel like CoD campaigns are a product.

  @_Dr_phantom_ i think some nintendo fans can acknowledge that they’re being done ***** but it’s like….even though they acknowledge it they’ll continue to buy these games every year. same problem with cod fans. with capcom ppl are more vocal and actually don’t buy if they think it’s not worth

  ANUBiS (@AnubisA91426) reported 49 minutes ago

  I only use it for COD, and I’m definitely not alone. Raising in-game prices, especially in regions like Egypt, while lowering Game Pass value doesn’t fix anything. It just shifts the cost onto players. Leadership changes won’t solve this if the direction stays the same…

• 
  Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported 50 minutes ago

  @xboxuk Good move. The problem with putting COD on gamepass and rising the price made no sense. It should have been on Gamepass ONLY and not available to purchase. You cannot have both buy and rent for long term play games. People will always buy the game. Not rent

  @DOC_DARK1985 It's pretty obvious he's implying what's to stop them removing other games they seem to big to be day one now they broken their promise with cod a 5 year old can see what he's saying use that brain of yours

  @drinkonsaturday @louisedbegin No thanks. The squeakers were the worst part of CoD back then. Also there were the countless cheaters with their speed hacks, lag switches, and killing you from above the map. No thanks…

  @j2001mj2001m @MisterSpace3 It doesn't work like that. There were two phases of resistance by the CMA. Phase 1 - Cloud Rights. Phase 2 - Consumer Rights and Benefits. Microsoft sold cloud rights to Ubisoft and they still have it - no issue. Microsoft chose to explicitly state the merger will bring ABK day one to Game Pass in their case for consumer benefits, along with COD as an example (over 100 times) in various points within this document. This has been rug pulled. There is no consumer choice for this scenario. It like me letting you borrow my car as long as you don't speed. You don't initially, then you do. The car should be removed.

  @geis_shane They added cod and you was paying $19.99. Then the following year they added cod again and made it $29.99. Now they removed cod and reduced to $22.99. So why not back to $19.99 like previous? Why pay extra for less? No one is saying its gonna stay at $19.99, but the next increase in a year or 2 will be $22.99 instead of $24.99. And guess what eventually it will be $29.99 without CoD. Of course this is based on YOUR maths above not mine. And you think that's right? I don't even care for CoD, but now they have set a precedent. Any game is on the table to be not day 1 if they deem it too big. This unfortunately is a fact. If you wanna grow the service like they do $199.99 looks way more attractive than $22.99. Why do you think they price things at $199.99 and not $200? Its all mind games and it works, has for many decades. Just how our brains are engineered to work. Its not a bad thing but its just how it is

  Sam (@WhiteLionell) reported 59 minutes ago

  @ReforgeGaming Pessimistic viewpoint, Gamepass to be value for money, price is now more reasonable, I'd wager they will probably offer discounts on CoD with an active gamepass sub as well. It would be fruitless to remove core IP's for a first part sub service, devaluing the platform.

  Kn Nick ⭕ (Forever a Firefly) (@nick71223) reported 59 minutes ago

  @LyriicDaVinci The other problem is that game pass is advertised as the place where all first party Microsoft titles go day one Call of Duty is a first party Microsoft title It starts with cod and eventually all first party MS titles are "roughly a year post launch"

  @Xbox CoD is a First Party game not a Third Party game, remove all the junk that is not First Party to fix the prices

  ThatGenericEric (@ThatGenericEric) reported 1 hour ago

  @DaReelSebas There's been a few who been criticizing the removal of COD, but for the most part, you're right. All they see is that the price is getting "lowered" and completely ignore they're losing a service that was once offered for less. "Anchor effect" or something.

  @Dom95730269 @IGN I don’t get your argument. It’s too vague. What do you say to those they don’t play COD at all like myself.. this price drop is not a “fix all” solution. But it’s a step in the right direction. You are hyper focused on COD it seems

  Arcadius (@000Arcadius000) reported 1 hour ago

  @ata_2001_ @RinoTheBouncer Did she though? The games already on the service stay on the service and future CoD games will just be put on gamepass a year later than before. People who live and breathe CoD buy the game anyway and the people who don't wont care about this lol

• 
  Havik Blade (@paduch_Richard) reported 1 hour ago

  To buy CoD at $70 means you have an incomplete game. You have to buy the Vault Edition or you are feature incomplete at launch. In a yearly multiplayer service game feature incomplete means having no value. So it’s really $130. Then $25 every 3 months for a battle pass. Robbery.
