CoD5 "Day One Advantage" mooted
Pay to accelerate your experience points
More news out of Activision Blizzard's Analysts Day now, with word that CoD5 will include a feature called "Day One Advantage", which when purchasd "gives you the ability to accelerate your experience points".
This is part of a push to monetise online gameplay. "The average Call of Duty player has spent nearly five full 24-hour days of their lives online since purchasing the game. Over time, we'll qualify more opportunities to increase the monetization of these activities," said Acti CEO Mike Griffith.
So buying an in-game advantage from a gold farmer is bad, but from the publicly traded publisher is alright? Cheating or gaining a legitimate advantage?
Call of Duty 5 is being developed by Treyarch and will be released later this year.
