Activision with 'never' charge for CoD Multiplayer

[Dark Drakan]

Finally someone with sense in Activision (aka anyone that isnt Bobby Kotick) has released a statement saying that they will NEVER charge for multiplayer. After Bobby Kotick said that he would charge for multiplayer 'tomorrow' if he could Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg has finally came out and denied that they ever will charge for it.​

​

Are we going to be charging for multiplayer? The answer is no. The experience you have out of the box, connecting with the online community to play Call of Duty is absolutely integral to the experience, and we'll never charge for that. It's not going to be something we'll attempt to monetize; it's part of the package. Nothing we or anyone else tries is going to work if it doesn't have tremendous value for people and add a tremendous value to the gaming experience. …There are certainly a lot of behavioural shifts toward long-standing online relationships… But at the end of the day, all I'm trying to get across is I can unequivocally say we will never, ever charge for the multiplayer.

I assume a public flagellation of mr Kotik is soon to follow?
