We're at a point in the gaming world where it seems like everything is changing rapidly. The latest crises that studios have encountered make one thing clear: players will no longer buy just anything, they will no longer play just anything, and nowhere is this truer than when we look at *free* titles or any that follow that model like Fortnite or similar.

I think Call of Duty has been one of the most recognized video game franchises and the one that has garnered the most titles. I think back and can't think of any game that hasn't been a sales success or at least had some relevance among players, but it seems that changes when you change the model.

# Warzone Mobile, out

The battle royale is one of the most competitive video game markets today, so for many it doesn't seem a surprise that Activision, with one of its largest IPs or one of the most recognized in the industry wanted to enter this market and get their share of the pie with Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, and their gamble couldn't have gone worse.

Remember, this was one of those games that came specifically for mobile devices, with graphics optimized for them and making a way of playing available to many players that had long been ignored by major studios like Activision.

I think the hegemony of titles like PUBG and Fortnite is more noticeable today than ever, making it impossible for new video games to emerge. At least in these genres, Warzone put up a strong fight throughout its seasons, but I think the profits Activision made during that time didn't entirely convince them to continue investing in new content or to continue supporting their online platforms.

What surprised me is the speed with which they've done this. Warzone Mobile hasn't even been out for a year and is flooded with the classic content that these games have, which are free and open to the public, an aesthetic similar to Fortnite with its micropayments where you have different seasons with events, skins, and more. Others that kept company with the classic battle royale mode we all know today.

Even so, don't expect this game to have generated losses for the company. I think they're simply so used to the gigantic revenues some of their games have on consoles, where they're one of the IPs that generates the most money in that micropayment hell they've been subjecting players to for some years now.

It's been interesting to see Activision compete in a territory where, let's be honest, they had no experience whatsoever and where many video games had already failed before. I'm tired of seeing entire studios closing on the news because they can't compete with blockbusters and the consistent content of video games like Fortnite, which has remained at the top thanks to offering a solid experience.

I enjoyed Warzone Mobile once in a while. I'm not a big fan of waiting in a lobby for 5 minutes only to be killed seconds after landing on the stage, but let's just say that for competitive play, it was pretty decent, and the graphical change they made to the graphics to put it on a phone was noticeable.

However, I think the wear and tear is evident. Why would I spend my money and time leveling up my character, completing all the missions this season to unlock something special, if after a few months the game might no longer exist? We're entering that zone where video games are no longer paid for with money (at least at first), but with your time, and I'm starting to value mine more.

Estamos en un momento del videojuego en donde parece que todo esta cambiando rápidamente, las ultimas crisis con las que se han encontrado los estudios creo que dice algo claro: los jugadores ya no compraran cualquier cosa, ya no juegan cualquier cosa, y en ninguna parte esto es mas cierto que cuando volteamos a los titulos *gratis* o cualquiera que siga ese modelo que siguen Fortnite o similares. 

Call Of Duty creo que ha sido una de las franquicias del videojuego mas reconocidas y las que mas titulos han cosechado, pienso en ellos y no me acuerdo de ningun juego que no haya sido un exito en ventas o al menos que haya tenido algo de relevancia entre los jugadores, pero parece que eso cambia cuando cambias el modelo

# Warzone Mobile, fuera

El battle royale es uno de los mercados mas competitivos del videojuego hoy en dia, por lo que para muchos no parece ser una sorpresa que Activision con una de sus mayores IPs o una de las mas reconocidas de la industria haya querido entrar a este mercado a sacar su parte del pastel con Call Of Duty Warzone Mobile, y la apuesta no les ha podido salir peor

Recordemos que este era uno de esos juegos que llegaban en especial para moviles, con unos graficos optimizados para ellos y poniendo al alcance de muchos jugadores una forma de jugar que desde hace mucho tiempo fue ignorada por los grandes estudios como Activision

La hegemonia de titulos como PUBG y Fortnite creo que se hace notar hoy mas que nunca y hace imposible que nuevos videojuegos al menos en estos generos salgan a relucir, Warzone dio una batalla firme a lo largo de sus temporadas pero creo que los beneficios que se llevó Activision durante ese tiempo no les convencio del todo para seguir apostando a crear nuevo contenido o para seguir dandole soporte a sus plataformas online

Lo que me ha sorprendido es la velocidad con la que han hecho esto, Warzone Mobile no tiene siquiera un año desde que fue lanzado e inundado del clasico contenido que tienen estos juegos que son gratuitos y abierto a todos los publicos, una estetica similar a la de fortnite con sus micropagos en donde tenias diferentes temporadas con eventos, skins y demas que le hacian compañia al clasico modo battle royale que todos conocemos hoy

Aun asi no esperen que este juego le haya generado perdidas a la compañia, creo que sencillamente estan tan acostumbrados a los ingresos gigantescos que tienen algunos de sus juegos en consolas y en donde son una de las ips que mas dinero genera en ese infierno de los micropagos al que tienen sometidos a los jugadores desde hace algunos años

Ha sido curioso ver competir a Activision en un territorio en donde seamos sinceros no tenian ningun tipo de experiencia y en donde muchisimos videojuegos ya habian fracasado antes, me canso de ver en las noticias estudios enteros cerrando porque no pueden competir con las superproducciones y el contenido constante de videojuegos como Fortnite que se ha mantenido en la punta gracias a ofrecer una experiencia solida 

Disfrutaba de Warzone Mobile una vez cada tanto, no soy demasiado fanatico de estar esperando 5 minutos en una sala para que me terminen matando a segundos de haber aterrizado en el escenario pero digamos que para jugar en modo competitivo estaba bastante decente y el cambio grafico que habian hecho con los graficos para meterlo en un telefono era notable

Sin embargo creo que el desgaste es evidente, para que me voy a gastar mi dinero y mi tiempo en hacer que mi personaje suba de nivel, en hacer todas las misiones de esta temporada para desbloquear algo especial si al cabo de unos meses el juego quiza ya no exista mas? estamos entrando en esa zona en donde ya los videojuegos no se pagan con dinero (al menos al inicio) sino con tu tiempo y estoy empezando a valorar mejor el mio
