Activision / Call of Duty
Malicous Game Mechanics
The Problem
Follow The Revenue
They keep saying they are going to fix the game but the community's experience is poorer than ever and progressively getting worse.
- Activisions revenue is no longer primarily driven by game sales or even microtransactions. It now primarily relies on revenue share from streamers. This creates a conflict of interest where the company prioritizes streamer engagement over player experience, leading to manipulative game mechanics.
- They whitelist popular streamers, allowing them to exploit game mechanics to engage the streamer's audience.
- After a few good games, many players feel the experience shifts: ping increases, hit registration feels worse, and matches feel less consistent.
Community Clapback
- Stop donating to streamers tied to the revenue-share model.

Fix hacking and remove malicious game mechanics
Activision, we get that you want to make money. You need to face the facts that your player base is dwindling because the game feels inconsistent and the hacking problem is out of control.
