Drif0r makes strong case for why Blackout should be free-to-play Popular Call of Duty YouTuber \u2018Drift0r\u2019 has stated his case for why Black Ops 4\u2019s new Blackout battle royale mode should be free. Blackout will be released as part of the Black Ops 4 title, which means that the only way players can play the new mode is by purchasing the full game. However, Drift0r believes that the only way Activision can maximize potential of this new mode is to make it free-to-play. \u201cI want Call of Duty Blackout to go free-to-play because I think that gives the best possible future for the game,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think if Call of Duty Blackout is going to be the success that everyone wants it to be, it should be a free-to-play game everybody can access.\u201d In Drift0r\u2019s eyes, expanding accessibility is crucial to the success of Blackout, and fans of battle royale may be turned off from trying the mode because it sits behind a massive paywall. \u201cThere\u2019s Zombies and Multiplayer as well, but not everyone wants Zombies or Multiplayer. I think that very few gamers out there are willing to spend $60 just for a a battle royale game, and I think that\u2019s the number one hurdle for Blackout to overcome, is its accessibility.\u201d \u201cIf Blackout were more accessible, it would be a runaway success,\u201d he went on to say. \u201cHockey stick growth, out of control player-base, it would be insane.\u201d \u201cIt would probably make way more than $60 per person just selling cosmetics than it would just selling that base access,\u201d he surmised. Drift0r rounded out his video by performing a statistical analysis and displaying what he projects would be Blackout\u2019s growth if it were to become free-to-play. Some of his notable projections include: Increase from projected 15 million active users during launch month to potentially over 60 million, a four-fold increase. – Increase monthly active users across the Activision Blizzard brand by – Huge increase in Battle.net users for PC users to make it more competitive with Steam –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
