1. Where do you stand in the world of Battle Royales? Should Blackout go free-to-play? – John, Producer

2. It may as well be free to play because they have the free to play model in the game with battle pass and micro DLC.

3. Apex does not fill like blackout

4. I will definitely play blackops4 if it goes free to play !!!!

5. blackout on black ops 4 shouldn't be free but maybe in a year when it slows down and they release new maps maybe make only the original map free to play

6. Pubg best one

7. Man all i do is run around on this game where is all the people like I get so bored I just shot in the air

8. The future of free to play games looks bright

9. I feel like BO2 and MW3 are truly the last o it's kind. IW was pushing to make a decade of advancement in MW but they were on an extremely tight time budget in terms of being a large scale triple A game built from scratch

10. Activision and the word "free" don't match in my brain

11. If I know anything about marketing, especially from a CoD developer. They are taking the loss and putting out next year's cash cow label.

12. Blackout is going to need a lot more if ANY new content, not just a weapon tweak or game balancing

13. Why did they charge for blackout?

14. cod black out is trash , no strategy to the game just run and gun

15. No one cares cod is dead

16. Apex legends is great, but remember that it's owned by EA, so keep your guard up.

17. I honestly thought it was gonna be ok but the more you play it the better it is, much better than PUBG and even better than Blackout to me.

18. It’s a worse br blackout won’t even compete plus it’s already dead for the most part so I don’t think it can make a come back

19. It would make sense , Activision cants stand that Respawn was they’re people, and consistently make better moves .

20. If the blackout would of went to free to play should of done it from the start oh well?

21. "This is just the peak. We are still going up"
    ?? Well said

22. Blackout is like Pepsi compared to Cola

23. Blackout three years of development and its bored and Apex legends has better mechanics from titanfall and its fun

24. Apex Legends >>>>>> All batle royale

25. No. Cod sold incredibly well. At best they will have deep sales if the player Base drops. They also could split black out off like on Pc. You can buy it for 50% off without zombies on there.

26. I still stick to apex legends

27. Everyone’s playing Apex was the number one spot on Twitch the last few days.

28. It looks like titanfall with no titans

29. Apex is so much better than blackout and it’s free ?‍♂️

30. Free cant save Blackout. Blackout is missing the "fun" element

31. Somebody smoking crack lol Cod is average at best nowadays but the battle royale is the best by far

32. Apex is the same thing like titanfall

33. Absolutely

34. I really hope blackout dies, it deserves to die. Damn lazy devs still hasn't fixed issues that been in the game since day 1.

35. whats the BGM of this video?

36. This game is a success? IGN is spinning this game way too much. IGN needs some quick cash i guess

37. You all turned on blackout quick! "GoNna KIlL fOrTniTe"

38. Roblox is still the best BR

39. Nani

40. X)

41. I own blackout, legit didn’t play more then a couple hours, cool concepts but pretty stale gameplay. Apex is pretty addicting

42. Some pretty hefty speculation for a game that has been out less than a week.

43. If blackout goes on mobile they’ll success, if fortnite can do it they can to

44. Blackout is fortnite-tier trash, im actually impressed by how much time it managed to last, but hey, more kids playing trash battle royales = less kids on decent and mature games.

45. Activision is way too greedy to even think about that. They sold a red dot for a dollar…

46. Still wouldn't play blackout tbh

47. Seeing how blackout is a selling point for black ops 4 I’d say no and to think removing blackout from the selling point of black out 4 will help cod at all is not great thinking as they need blackout to sell cod to more people as the core gameplay of cod isn’t super amazingly great where blackout is what you write home about

48. Blackout is better in my opinion. Apex is too cartoony
