Pretty much the same thing here, havent missed it either.

Though with its massive fanbase i dont think the change will affect negatively the profits which they hungrily chase

I reckon their profit will go up. Some will not buy the game, and some won't go elite, but the amount that will go elite will be absolutly insane because CoD is one of those games which has tapped into the zombie-esque masses of people that play games now because they are cool - hence all the dull clones and remakes every year. And because these idiots love paying however much it is for a console game (I buy and play sports games like Madden and MLB The Show so I suspect I may qualify in this catagory as well :S) so they can be like 'look at me, I'm awesome', they will happily bend over backwards whilst Kotick rams his money-hoover up their backside.

EDIT: @Hutch - but ours gave more information though Although the steam survey was a perfect replacement. If this was a report, I know which one I'd use.
