Might have been something they intended to have in it but later decided not to for some reason. Easier to just remove or disable the trigger/flag that would load it in than try to completely remove the asset.

It’s not a secret, it’s just how it was programmed. It’s very common to simply disable stuff that you might want to make visible later rather than removing it from the scene entirely.

We probably are, but that’s not what you said, and it’s that disingenuous misrepresentation that makes you a troll.

We have multiple editors. I don’t see every article. But, as I said, the buck still stops with me about what we publish.

It was probably created so all assets would be loaded at once, which could help avoid breaking immersion, make it very easy to design the environment, and avoid complicating code with resource loading when a simple visibility toggle can do the same job

So you’re telling me its too much to ask that someone with some common sense and the most minute bit of authority read a handful of articles posted to a crap blog site on the daily

I mean, do you think the mayor of NYC is in the office of every government employee checking on everything they do? They’re still in charge, though.

It’s not up to you to decide what is offensive to other people.

I hate when folks accuse sites like this of being biased, but when something reads like this it’s hard not to eye it a little harder.

The entire thing just comes across as snarky and bitter for no good reason to be honest. Why not simply say that the free game requires an active subscription to redeem? Both are true, but one seems to push some weird biased agenda.  Maybe Games with Gold slept with the writers sister or something.

They are. This article uses the same wording that we’ve told them to change EVERY MONTH.

They are but you can only get them “free” if you have active Gold subscription. If you let it lapse you lose access to the Xbox One games but the 360 games are yours to keep.

As always, they’re only “free” if you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Did Sony stuff the money down Activision’s throat? If not then the blame goes to Activision. They had a choice: “Should we be fair to all of our customers?” -or- “Should we screw over anyone not on this platform?”

all of the ps’s exclusive titles(GTA, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken AND Street Fighter)

It’s probably really hard to do crossplay for a mode that isn’t available for any other system. But I get your overall point.

I would imagine it’s more for people that have both consoles and they want those players in their ecosystem.  I have a PS4 Pro and an XBox One X.  I buy more cross-platform games on my One X simply because they look and run better there.  PS4 is for the exclusives.  However, I’d be tempted to buy Modern Warfare on the…

To limit the player base on a mode in a mode seems at odds with one of their talking points for the multiplayer this year being the cross platform play on all the consoles and the PC. The return of Spec Ops was pretty good news and I actually enjoyed playing the beta this weekend, but a whole year means the next Call…

As someone who owns a PS4 and not an Xbox, even I'm mad at this. 

This is completely rediculous, especially when you consider the matchmaking is crossplay between all platforms. It also still frustrates me that Activision is charging $60 per platform for unequal products. Yes, it'll be available in a year... when the playerbase on PC will be in the double digits.
