So many people are hyped about this game. This must be a huge kick in the balls for everyone that was going to play it other than PS4 players.

So basically if you don't buy the PS4 version, you don't get the full game, and by the time the game unlocks on none PS4 platforms the game will have been replaced by the next version. Timed exclusives are anti-consumer and anyone buying this game on Xbox or PC is basically getting an inferior product, they are being ripped off.

Pretty much yea. Quite ridiculous as the tweet they sent to defend this exclusive deal.

There have been a number of 'reviewers' who put the time locked game mode as being over 15% of the game, there aren't 100 game modes after all.

While I hardly played this mode in the past, it really sucks they are doing it this way. Also seeing how Infinity Ward is responding to these criticisms really tells what is going on internally with monetization. I remember a couple days ago seeing a quote from them saying something like "We hear you, but this decision is being made by people above our pay grade". 

If it is Activision making these decisions regarding loot boxes and exclusive modes, they are killing the hype themselves. I had quite a few friends who were really interested in this game until they heard this news.

How can they do this? as if they weren't in hot waters with the community already...

Why is the pre-order canceled ? This mode is absolutely fantastic

Pretty good reason right there for cancelling then isn't it. You pretty much answered your own question.

Hopefully Epic Game Store doesn't get any bright ideas from this...
