being able to own and play old games, or emulate old good games probably cuts into profit and the amount people are willing to spend.
Why buy ubisoft bland open world game when i already own and can play 10 year old ubisoft bland open world game that does the exact same thing (but with less microtransactions)? Why buy the new cod? The good games with some originality gets lost when they break compatibility and don't let you play the thing you 'bought', but they don't really care.
My understanding about the COD series is that campaign wise it peaked with MW3 and i dont care about multiplayer.
Eta: Sorry it was cod4:mw that was the peak campaign.
the peak of cod was being in high school and playing local multiplayer blops2 zombies until 4am while on mountain dew and gas station snacks.
I then bought the one with kevin spacey and was underwhelmed (but at least it was the one with 'F to pay respects' so it had something going for it)
