It is hosted by Tencent, a Chinese-exclusive online social network for MMO games and social networking. Since Activision had lost the publishing rights to CoD and several other franchises in China due to a legal dispute on most of the Western gaming consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii), it had been rumored that it would be PC-exclusive (that is, a Microsoft Windows platform), since PCs hold the dominant share of gamers in mainland China.
The CEO of Activision Blizzard (AB), Bobby Kotick, has expressed interest in, and plans on investing in, CoD Online. He has stated that it could be a huge financial success for AB, if properly powered by micro-transactions within the game itself. CoD Online remains exclusive to mainland China for now, with global availability to be determined depending on the degree of success of the game.
