Gotta pay that $69 billion somehow.

This is even worse than it sounds. You don’t just pay once to unlock the feature. You must pay a subscription.

To a company called Embody

Its pretty simple, don't buy this

I do find it funny people Tweeting at Phil though like he did this when there are other games already with these so called spatial audio packs

I have dolby atmos as my spatial audio option on my laptop headset..
pretty sure if you buy a razer headset it comes with the code to get it for free on microsoft app store

Topics like this make it very easy to root out the shitposters.

I can understand paying a subscription for 1-3 services, but when everything becomes a subscription, even spatial audio this shit is getting ridiculous. I hope all those trend chasing wannabe subscriptions fail and get bitten in the ass.
And yes, I'm also talking about the insane amount of new streaming services that pop out every month. Stop preying on my wallet.

Will it give an advantage to people who have it compared to those who don't? If not then I don't see the big deal. If it does though then I think it's different than FF14 and Cyberpunk which aren't heavily PVP based games.

I miss the old call of duty days. What a joke this franchise has become

It's sad man.

"Ear Pro"

I blame those guys paying for alpha male boot camps, ahahaha.

Who pays $18,000 to work more efficiently at a minimum wage job; to be less interesting.

These weirdos are tarnishing what it means to be an enthusiast...

Where is the passion, man?

Spatial audio is artificial sounding trash and CoD's audio has always been horrible, at least outside of the campaign and especially in Warzone.

In other news, people on X complain about things they know absolutely nothing about. More at 11.

Oh if people want to argue its pay 2 win I am all for that

The people that act like Xbox is doing this to make money are the funny ones when this is a 3rd party company that has done this for other games

Well I mean I'm sure Xbox does make money right? It would be weird for Xbox to allow this company to sell the audio but they don't get any sort of cut from the money being made. I don't see why Xbox would even allow it at that point. At the very least they are taking the 30% cut from every sale but I suspect they get even more then that.

In spatial, no one can hear you dudebro.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Someone need to make a welcome to Microsoft gif.

 

[NEbeast]

Maybe the point is : why pay for it when you get similar on the console for free.

 

[Kvally]

Rather, a Welcome to Embody gif. Embody wants a $19.99 one time fee, if you want their specific audio. These audio extras are also on PlayStation games.

 

[Celcius]

They'll probably charge you for the PS5 Pro patch lol

 

[RagnarokIV]

Paying for better hearing is a great idea. Embody are on to something.

Next we can make the graphics blurry unless you pay for better vision.

It's like how I imagine a player with an artificial 'handicap' works in golf. (I know nothing about golf).

Bro you're too good at golf, I'll never beat you! What's your handicap? "Alright let me put on my ear mufflers and blurry filter glasses"

 

[CliffBronger]

I'm glad i don't bother with this COD shite.

Last one i played was the original MW2.

 

[deriks]

Kotick left the company, but the company didn't left Kotick
