While there have been no official numbers released, trusted sources have told our sister site GameRant that people have been cancelling their preorders in response to the news, and the preorder numbers have been well below expectations for the upcoming reboot of the Modern Warfare franchise. What’s more, the backlash seems to actually be affecting the Activision’s pocketbook. RELATED: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Special Ops Survival Mode Will Be PlayStation Exclusive For An Entire YearĮver since it was revealed that PC and Xbox One players would have to wait a whole year to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Spec Ops Survival mode – a mode that would be available from day one on PS4 - there has been a significant amount of backlash. But it seems that there’s one thing that gamers won’t tolerate, and that is having your favorite games machine getting stiffed out of an entire game mode. They tolerate games that have pay-to-win lootboxes. There are plenty of vocal opponents of many annoying aspects of modern games, but high sales numbers prove that players as a whole have come to tolerate a lot of obnoxious “features” that modern publishers push on us. Publishers often use pre-orders to determine how well their game will perform, so if the cancellation of pre-orders in response to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's PS4-exclusive game mode is any indication, the game won't be doing as well as expected.
