Like I said take out COD out and drop the price.
Cod will be removed from GP Ultimate and will drop into GP about a year later.
Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $23.99, hopefully that means for SA about +/-R250 as Premium remains unchanged at R199.99.
PC GP also drops down to $13.49.

So R40 on pc (was R249) and R110 (was R349) on ultimate.
Drops but nothing massive, still R110 on ultimate isn't bad.

Great for those uninterested in COD.
But it's the beginning of the end for COD multiplayer. Game has gone downhill with the last two entries and most of the casuals have moved to Warzone.
Not many gamers left who will pay R1499 just to sweat against hackers, Cronus players and this year, console AI cheating. Especially since Infinity Ward is making it and they got such a bad multiplayer reputation after all the MW2 complaints.

R350 was hectic, R239 is still high but it's better. Pity the middle tier doesn't drop

I have one for you, make multiplayer free for all games, like its free for F2P games.
Only reason I am using GP Essential is for MP.

Here's an idea from 2022 they should bring back. Family pass, sure charge a bit more and then allow 4 people in the same household to use it.

We Are XBOX
This message was just sent to Team Xbox employees globally. Dear team, XBOX has always been different. We started with a simple idea. Games should bring people together through shared experiences. That led to the first XBOX in 2001, XBOX Live in 2002, and new ways to connect, from friends lists...
