There was a thread here some time ago where a dude axed why publishers don't offer old games online, games you cant even find anymore. I said, its cause time is not unlimited and one sold old game cut into profit. He said, it's bullshit and I should know it.

"...we think that the overall decline was due to a very large number of people playing multiplayer online games for free on PlayStation Network, and for an annual fee with unlimited game play on Xbox Live," Pachter noted. "We estimate that a total of 12 million consumers are playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for an average of 10 hours per week on the two platforms’ respective networks, and the continued enjoyment of this game (along with an estimated 6 million Halo online players, 3 million EA Sports players, and 5 million players playing other games, such as Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, Left 4 Dead and Grand Theft Auto) has sucked the available time away from what otherwise would be spent playing newly purchased games."

if the next-gen faggotry was a church, activision would be its god, prophet, and the shady disfigured guy who pulls all the strings.
