I bought vanguard for 100$ and got banned on Xbox, then it carried over to my pc account that was linked to my Xbox account. submitted tons of appeals and they ignore them not gonna spend 100$ on cod again. Wasn’t worth it. thousands of people got banned for no reason. It’s sad.

math
$60/yr per game vs $70 every two year per game
after two years
$120 spent vs $70 spent
if we get roughly the same amount of content, cod players are saving money. you’re not spending $70 every year on a game
remember it’s a two year life span per game now

Support the devs $70 ain’t breaking hall if hall drop money on the battle pass and micro transactions

Big L seeing as it's gonna be filled with MTX and battle passes anyways. This new "premium" price should be for games that don't have MTX or little DLC, to even justify the price increase.
