in February explaining how Activision mislead consumers on the new Call of Duty Elite Premium service. The Competition Bureau of Canada got back to us. They do not deal with false or misleading advertising complaints relating to online media from consumers, however the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services in Ontario where we are based does.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
Oops! A classic example of why assumption can be a harsh mistress.
HAHA incredulous BS, acti will swat this like a fly. Who doesn't know that xbox gets drops first?
Pity they can't be investigated over the poor rehashed year upon year turd of a game that COD has turned into. That's the reason I no longer buy these games, not the fact that X Box gets it a month before I can.
I have a love hate relationship with activision, I despise them for milking the franchise but the game is fun.
Then there's treyarch constantly trying to breath new life into the game, only to have their work undone by infinty ward's (and now sledgehammer) complete lack of creativity.
I agree with the investigation though, with the large amounts of money put into marketing within the games industry. False advertising needs to be met with consequence.
Am I the only one that knew that Xbox 360 would get the content first? It was commonly known that the Xbox 360 was the official console for the launch of MW3 and Elite. I believe Activision was up front about this.
