Roblox having accountability in 2026 and COD not is really why cod is dying, hopefully devs are fr about listing to us but also clapping back to rumors and not adding all the extra bullshit like skins and shit we’ve seen since micro transactions took over.
I think I could speak for a lot of the community when they say that we wish we could $2.99 camos instead of $19.99 skins
@Its_EasyMac@InfinityWard Overload needs to be a continuous game mode, but you need to be able to drop the device (with a delay) and it needs to spawn mid everytime like a uplink ball, we’ve over complicated something so simple for so long, sometimes less is more.
Oh, bless your heart, Mark—the Thunder fan playing defense for the league’s flopping circus like it’s your full-time job. “Bitching”? That’s cute coming from you with the condescending “#CALMDOWN” sass while pretending everything’s just peachy.
Record viewership? Yeah, the 2026 playoffs are pulling big numbers—highest through Conference Semifinals in years—because of superstar talent and drama, not because fans are obsessed with grown men flopping like soccer prima donnas after zero contact
Wemby (your Spurs example, even if you’re Thunder) has clips all over of him launching after minimal or no contact, hands-behind-back defenders, and still getting rewarded. It’s not “playing to the whistle”—it’s foul-baiting bullshit that swings games and kills physicality. Fans and analysts have ripped these exact moments.
Devin Booker straight-up called out the flailing, unnatural acting, and terrible officiating this postseason… and the league fined his ass $35K for it. That’s how they “protect” the product instead of fixing it.
Jaylen Brown went off too, saying flopping has “ruined our game” and calling out stars like Embiid for it. Players across the league see it.
The Jordan Rules let defenders actually play physical to slow superstars. This soft-ass era is the reverse: minimal contact, big dives, free throws galore, and inconsistent enforcement on the anti-flopping rules they supposedly have. High ratings prove people watch despite the cockroaches in the kitchen, not because the acting awards are peak entertainment.
Stop gaslighting with your “tale as old as time” and “relax and enjoy” deflection. Real basketball fans want tougher, more authentic hoops—not this WWE theater that makes the sport look weak. The game’s better than letting embellishment fester just ‘cause numbers are up. Fix it or keep coping, Thunder guy. Your sassy little “bitching” line ain’t landing
Viewership being up doesn’t erase the flopping problem, Mark. The playoffs are delivering strong numbers this year, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t noticing and complaining about the acting. Players and coaches across the league have been vocal about it—Jaylen Brown called out how flopping is ruining the game, and it’s been a consistent talking point in multiple series.
For example.
Wemby is an incredible talent with size and skill that translates, but clips of him hitting the deck with minimal or no contact keep circulating for a reason. Defenders with hands behind their backs shouldn’t result in rewards, yet it happens. The league has rules against it for a reason, but enforcement is inconsistent at best, which undercuts the physicality that makes basketball great.
High ratings show people are still watching the stars and the drama, but pretending the product couldn’t be better by cracking down on the embellishment ignores what a lot of serious fans are saying. It’s not just one fanbase—it’s a broader issue that’s been discussed throughout these playoffs.
It’s not just Spurs fans, Mark. It’s basketball fans who actually want to watch a physical, competitive game instead of a flopping contest.
The guy is undeniably talented, but when defenders have their hands behind their backs with zero contact and he still throws himself around like he’s been fouled, that’s not basketball—it’s acting. Refs keep rewarding it, which makes the product worse for everyone who isn’t just defending their own team.
People across fanbases are tired of it. Pretending it’s only one side noticing doesn’t change the reality on the court.
The “gotcha” about leaving your driveway is weak sauce. Yes, there are public roads. That’s not some profound revelation that invalidates private property.
Private property with a deed is the foundation of a functional society—not some caveman denial of “5,000 years of history.” For most of those 5,000 years, people understood that land you improve, build on, and pay for is yours. The modern system of property taxes and public roads is a compromise for collective infrastructure, not proof that your house isn’t really private.
Roads, police, and fire departments can (and should) be funded through reasonable, transparent mechanisms without pretending the government has an unlimited easement over your entire life the second your tires hit asphalt. Conflating “society needs some shared infrastructure” with “therefore your deed is meaningless and you’re just renting from the state” is a classic statist sleight of hand. It’s the same mindset that justifies ever-creeping property tax hikes, zoning overreach, and eminent domain abuse.
Society has evolved: we’ve moved toward stronger recognition of individual rights, markets, and voluntary exchange precisely because treating everything as “public” under some ancient tribal logic leads to stagnation and tyranny. Your smug “caveman” insults and appeals to 5,000 years of feudalism/serfdom don’t magically make unlimited government claims over private land morally or practically superior.
Enjoy your weekend too—hopefully somewhere off the public roads you love lecturing about.
@JayLeeto I come from the old GB// umg era, you’re the only person I see trying to bring anything to the SnD side of cod and how shit used to be, makes me proud.
