Kotick: You asked for CoD: Elite |
Listed in: News Tags: Activision, Bobby Kotick, cod: elite
Got issues against Call of Duty: Elite? You might be surprised to know that it's all on you why it's happening in the first place.
Bobby Kotick of Activision said that they just responded to what fans were demanding of them. "We started out with a desire to give back to our players," he started. "We wanted to add capabilities that were the direct result of research conducted with our audience. We have tens of millions of players, and we went out to our audience and we solicited their thoughts and opinions on what would make the game - on a free basis - more fun to play."
"So the bulk of what we've done is to create a free service that offers a whole host of new, interesting and well-differentiated capabilities that will get our audience really enthusiastic and excited about playing. We have very articulate audiences - they're able to prioritize what's important: they're able to give us clarity on features that they think will be useful. So from that perspective, what we're delivering is the direct result of player input - and a lot of it."
He further explained to the Guardian, "There were also a certain number of things that our players wanted to see, with the recognition that those particular services would be costly for us to develop. And we spent a lot of time talking about what's a fair way to charge for what are premium services. In that regard too we got great audience feedback. So [Elite was based on] very well-informed research that goes deeper and is more extensive than anything we've done before."
Speaking of articulate fans, CoD fans were very much articulate in expressing their displeasure over this perceived money-making scheme of Activision. Zombie Studios' lead designer even called them a jerk for even coming up with the idea of CoD: Elite. This prompted Activision's execs, such as Robert Bowling, to defend Elite, reiterating that they just did what their fans asked of them.
Next time, just be careful what you guys wish for.

To think we all have money to waste by giving to you, oh wait, im sorry, to give to Fat-ass Kotick because he never even pays the companies who make the games cough cough Infinity Ward.
Fuck off, Activision.

imagine if u will, if u do get CODMW3 an the ELITE ill breakdown ruffle what u'll pay between XBL vs PSN.B4 i get started it will be a total of COD 65$,COD ELITE10$=120$ an or 20$ a month=240$. internet bill45$ 1year=530 ,XBL sub costs an map pack 1st we'll just say internet bill will be 45$ amonth. COD MAP PACKS 3 for the whole year=45$,
XBL SUB, XBL 10$ a month 1year=120$ XBL 25$ a month1year=150 an XBL 60$ 1year is 60$. PS3 COD65$+NET 1y=530$+MAP PACKS 3=45$+COD ELITE=120$=760$. now if its 20$ a month for CE plus all the reset=880$
360 XBL 10$ a month 1y=120$+COD65$+NET 45$ amonth 1y=530$+CE 10$ a month 1y=120+MAP PACKS3=45$..=880NOW if its 20$ a month for CE=1,000$XBL25$ amonth 1y=150$+COD65$+NET4 5$ a month 1y=530+CE 10$ a month 1y=120$+MAP PACKS345$=910$NOW if its 20$ a month for CE=1,030
XBL60$ 1year total+COD 65$+NET 45$ a month 1y=530+CE 10$ a month 1year=120$ MAP PACKS3 45$ =820$NOW if its 20$ a month for CE=940$
AN for the people who r adults or have bills add that to ur weekly an monthly bills. an its not about '' i got money'' its about how the gaming industry is trying 2 F us over an SUM. an it wont stop with COD other gaming companies will do the same if COD ELITE dont fail. think real hard average person 2games a year paying over 2,000 for just 2games that have onlinemultiplay

And it is all lies. The consumers didn't ask for a pay service. That is ridiculous. If you ever look at how they word consumer surveys, the language is very suggestive, leading one to pick some kind of pay to use service. This is done to elicit the desired response. Why would they do that? Because they were ALWAYS going to introduce this service, they just needed an excuse.

Good try, but no, we all know it's what you want, not us.

Now: you paid and then... "your princess is in another castle..." so you go on your quest to save the princess and then... "you know what? we have some extra castles you can play if you pay up a little bit. We didn't hid them in the beginning we swear, all are brand new... oh and also we can include some nice power ups, because we are pretty sure you don't want to save the princess with just mushrooms and fire flowers, do you? And so you got the "extra stuff" and saved the princess... "oh I almost forgot to tell you that we can also include several other princesses for you to save as well, of course with a small payment of 14.99..."
In the future: you pay and then... "Your princess is in another castle... Special Offer: Next Castle unlock for just 7.99 this week, that's 50% off!!!, or you can subscribe to us and you can unlock all the other castles as well and also be able to have unlimited access all new castles we make in the future for just 4.99 per month" and so you start saving up to be able to save your princess...

I think the only research these guys did was go onto youtube and see all the mw2 videos that people have uploaded from ps3's xbox's and pc's. Activisons like hey we can make some money off that! End of story.
(yeah there's a few black ops videos on youtube but have you ever seen any good ones?)
