    Isn’t it already somewhat of a GAAS if people buy the new one every year for $60-70? At this point the move to full service doesn’t seem to be that much of a stretch. I might be off base here as I haven’t bought a COD game since the Xbox 360 days and only played warzone a few times with my friend’s kids. Curious to hear other thoughts on this

      Yea I see it the same, it’s been GAAS for years now. Black ops 4 which came out 5 years ago this year started with the seasons and all. There’s so much MTX, it’s laughable. And this in a full price title, that plays like a freemium game. Aka it is barely fun but people keep playing simply because they’re hooked on the dopamine they get from it.

      It should’ve gone f2p years ago, but obviously the question is why, when you can get another $60/80€ per player anyways and expect the game to be any different.

      I’ve played quite a lot of cod back in the days, but ultimately since mw19 the series has gone to total shit. It’s been the same game every year, there’s barely any skill involved anymore and they so****mehow manage to put in more RNG each and every year.

      CoD never really needed any skill to begin with, but nowadays it’s basically a slot machine, disguised as a shooter.

      Rumours about GAAS come and go every year tho. I guess they will only change when people stop buying this crap, aka never.

      I skipped PS4 so this was the first CoD I’ve bought since the original black ops. So it’s probably been this way for years. But I went a while from like January to May with out playing the game and couldn’t find the game in my library because they renamed the game from MW2 to “Call of Duty” and changed the icon so I feel like it must be worse.
