According to the YouTube channel The Gaming Revolution, the reason for the delay of the release ofModern Warfare 2is contractual, as Sony contributed financially to the development of the remaster and the future remaster ofModern Warfare 3. As a result, Sony was afforded timed exclusivity by the publisher of the game. Many have attributed the success of the PlayStation 4 to the ability of the consoleto attain exclusivesand its competitions struggle to do so. While players may be frustrated at having to wait for titles, it seems that strategic investment in game development is an increasingly important aspect of console marketing.
While PlayStation players have seemed to have enjoyed theModern Warfare 2campaign, there has been some frustration at thelack of online multiplayer.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2has been no stranger to controversy since its original release and its exclusivity deal and multiplayer have added to this.
