| Activision will start charging gamers for playing the Call Of Duty series online by the end of the year, according to analyst Michael Pachter. Speaking to Industry Gamers, Pachter said that consumers are increasingly shifting from packaged video games to online multiplayer, which they can enjoy for free. He called on publishers to create a business model that "captures the value created by the multiplayer experience" or face declining revenues. "While the shift has been great for consumers, who are enjoying an unprecedented, and largely free, game experience, it has been devastating for publishers and shareholders, who are seeing sales and profits decline," he said. "We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetisation of multiplayer. "It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, micro-transaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty: Black Ops launches." |

| This is not true at all.... Companys make huge profits off of big name games like halo and cod. Halo reach made Microsoft 400 Million dollars in the first week. They wouldnt risk all that to make more money. If they games were massive games like WOW, then maybe, but if they stay how they are now, people wont pay...  |
