Xbox Game Pass has been a topic of discussion since its launch. Some people love it, while others are against consuming games in this manner. Someone who falls into the latter group is Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision.
As part of the trial between Activision Blizzard, Microsoft, and the US Federal Trade Commission, Bobby Kotick was questioned about Xbox Game Pass. When speaking on the matter, the executive made it clear that he has no interest in such services and, in fact, feels a strong aversion towards them.
"I have a general aversion to the idea of multi-game subscription services, perhaps part of it is being in Los Angeles and seeing the major media companies shift their content to these subscription streaming services, and the business results have been impacted," said Kotick.
Kotick doesn't want to bring Call of Duty to Xbox Game Pass
In his statements, Kotick also mentioned that he wouldn't put Call of Duty in a subscription service. Additionally, he pointed out that Activision isn't generating profits from services like Xbox Game Pass.
It's worth mentioning that, if the acquisition of Activision by Xbox goes through, Kotick won't have the final say on whether the company's games come to Xbox Game Pass or not. Therefore, this opinion won't have an impact on what happens with Call of Duty and other franchises if Activision becomes part of Microsoft's network of companies.
What do you think of this news? Did you imagine that Kotick would be against subscription services? Let us know in the comments.
