So what you’re saying is Pachter was wrong? Impossible.
This is according to Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia, he said the team plans on “supporting the hell” out of Call of Duty: Black Ops, with its multiplayer being infinitely free.
And as for the used games market which developers don’t see a penny’s worth of profits from, Lamia believes all that’s needed to starve the market are better games.
We agree.
“I want to take that in the other direction and bring consumers really great reasons to keep their games, rather than trade them in,” he told MCV. “Multiplayer is critical to the success of this series. It has such tremendous staying power – there are millions of people playing Call of Duty every day.
It’s entertaining people on a magnitude that’s mind-blowing and we work really hard to make sure it’s supported for a long time.
The effort that goes into the multiplayer is a living thing – we have a team that continues to work on it for World At War. We’ve done that for a long time and expect to do so for this game.”
If you love online multiplayer, Treyarch reckons you won’t want to trade in Black Ops, the developer’s intentions, he says, is to make “sure we keep our fans engaged”.
“We’re going to support the hell out of Black Ops. That will be our focus post-release: making sure we keep our fans engaged, and hopefully as a result, they’ll want to keep playing our game and won’t want to trade it in.”
Black Ops will be available on November 9th, 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and DS.
