Every time I launch the Steam client, I wait for updates to finish before playing.

You turn on your system and boot up your game of choice in anticipation of a great gaming session that will be a great way to pass the time over the next hour or so. Yet the game never makes it to the main menu and in fact, depending on the platform, the game hasn’t started up in the first place.

How Call Of Duty Gets My Money

Buying Call of Duty: Modern Warfare last December was well worth it.

As popular as the Call of Duty franchise is, I’ve noticed that while there are many that love the games within the series, there are others who can’t stand Call of Duty in general. And then there are still others that like the way Call of Duty used to be during its earlier years and resent the directions the developers have taken since. Either way, Activision has benefited greatly as the publisher of the games as the Call of Duty franchise has generated billions of dollars over the years. Continue Reading
