If games like CoD actually do end up with subscription fees...
So Bobby Kotick said he'd like to turn to subscription services as soon as "tomorrow, if possible" or something to that effect. I seriously doubt anyone's going to be waking up to a subscription notice on their fave activision titles any time soon, but this ain't the first time this has been tossed around.

So work with the hypothetical. Say the next CoD title has a subscription service. Or pick any other game...I'm only "picking on" the CoD series because of the phenomenal sales of the series, etc.

Think it'd harm multiplayer if this started to happen? or would people just bitch, moan, and grab their ankles? Would other franchises get a boost for "free multiplayer?"

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
