  @K__Med Here's my expert analysis. Smaller studios were purchased to pad content prior to Zennimax and ABK. Phil gave those studios a lot of rope, because they needed content. The problem is, they were given too much autonomy, probably because of the praise Xbox for the handling of Mojang. Covid delays aside, when all you had to launch from first party in 2022 was Pentiment, it kind of shows how desperate they were. Now that they have AAA output and top tier IP, the overhead from these smaller studios is sucking resources with little to no ROI. I loved South of Midnight, but running that studio for 7 years of development is a drain. To be fair, it probably was a hindrance for the studios as well, because it allowed them to take their time and slow down production, since their budgets weren't a issue with MS backing. When you have big system seller IP like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, you don't need to worry about smaller projects unfortunately. That's why ABK used Raven and Toys for Bob as COD support. I think Asha is seeing that they can get great GamePass content from small 3rd party studios, and not take on the liability of running them. Expedition 33 and Palworld exceeded anything they could do in house, and when something like Flinklock fails, it can easily be overlooked. They are running into an issue where they have too much content, and these smaller titles would not move the needle for console sales or subscriptions. It's sad, but I understand the business side of it. I kind of wish that Xbox just spun off the little guys as their own "indie" style division to work on smaller quirky titles with smaller budgets and quicker turnaround, but something like that would take time, that I'm not sure they have.

  @Grizz100k 2K is cooked this year. I mean they been dogshit for the past couple years but CFB and Madden stepped they **** up a lot it looks. COD might actually be decent and GTA coming out? It’s a wrap if they don’t fix their game or come out with some new and interesting ****

  @Insaneperson532 @yoxics Yea so what's the problem as soon as you cut the game off you go back to RL. I grew up with lobbies like that in Gears and, COD making it through life just fine.

  @ConsoleKings can you fix your **** website where if I post a “random cods” best of 3 it doesn’t give me the same cod 2 out of 3 of the maps? That would be neat.

  I think with all the money @CallofDuty has, they should invest in more servers and get rid of lag compensation. The amount of times I stutter to players or get shot around a corner is terrible. I shouldn’t have any issues when connected 14 or less ms to a server.

  Would honestly love to play this but for some reason all the GoW games (old&new) make me motion sick lol. Can play Halo and COD on max sens w/no problems though. It’s weird.

  Rino🚀 (@RinoTheBouncer) reported 16 minutes ago

  @JulienChieze The very fact that COD games aren’t day and date on Game Pass is proof that they know so damn well that giving away games for free at launch with a subscription service is neither profitable nor sustainable. They imagined they’d gain a huge enough subscriber base to make it sustainable but that is a fantasy that they’re still in denial about

  @SOUTHBOUND110 It’s done fam. Removing COD was the first step. The games that are already announced like Gears of War E-Day, Fable and Forza Horizon 6 and Halo Campaign evolved are probably the last of the the big AAA games on the service. The business model doesn’t work with less than 40 million subscribers. Microsoft was banking on 100+ million

  Knoebel (@Knoebelbroet) reported 26 minutes ago

  @synaesthesiajp So what would be different? We already have a discoverability crisis and AAA games are also unsustainable. So what happens if CoD has another off year? Halo still have a management problem, what if they can't fix that?

  @matt_gerken Most gamers on XBOX & PlayStation play a Fortnite or COD, their live service game. And then Madden or FC (formerly FIFA). Maybe one other game. That’s it. Folks like us with hundreds of games is not the norm. We’re the exception and not a good measure of average gamers.

  @JackmoveJohnny Xbox will never give us the whole truth but if Gamepass was so successful they wouldn’t have pulled future CoD titles off of the service. People just don’t want to see the truth. They treat it as it’s their own creation instead of just being consumers of it.

  @ARCRaidersGame Please revert the abmm to its original state. I think most of us would be fine with that. After the change that supposedly would allow for self defense, it is impossible to fix our lobbies and its just pve people refusing to shoot back against cod players in every lobby now

  @x3Sophiie @moonmanomg @R4Stats and you're missing the point that the issue isn't whether it can or can't hit 120fps, it's the game stability, overall some things break with higher than 60fps (gravity, server sync, etc) it's weird and just a cod engine issue, i would love 120fps but it prob wont happen

  @frogpitgaming @NineOuh90 I stopped playing halo after halo5 but I'm not sure if fandom types influenced 343. I think they did listen to CoD players too much and they made the game way faster paced than it was before. That was a problem with non-players, but not fandom types.

  Hey @CallofDuty and @Activision , care to explain to me how your AI system voice banned me? I found a cheater in warzone, he was screaming the N word at me, I called him a **** eating maggot and I instantly got comm banned. I guess your AI thought I said something else? Fix it!

  @xpertfusion3 It's good to have all kinds of games, but I sure as hell don't want every game to be a CoD grind. I barely have time to play one live service, more than that would be hellish

  @CallofDuty it's been 6 years of this delay- when you fix it, I'm going to be a monster! It's like playing with one hand tied behind my back. A .3 kd is actually amazing! lol

  @Wildbergerrrr Gaming is more popular then ever is a correct statement. But that’s off the backs of GTA, CoD, Fortnite and sports titles. Trying to get that audience the branch out into smaller niche passion projects or even just a 007 is an entirely different issue

  @JackmoveJohnny This is actually pretty spot on. Putting games on a monthly service alone isn’t going to make money for the studios. Older games or indies maybe but CoD? Crazy.

  @KruegersHusband @InfinityWard UAVs are a huge issue in DMZ and should not exist. Just because its a feature that defined Call of Duty since 2007 it does not mean it needs to be in CoD or even Zombies for that matter. Its pointless and it harms the modes longevity and defeats the point of stealth.
