i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
Black Ops 7 was the first CoD game I didn’t have an ounce of excitement for.
The franchise has become so soulless because of greedy executives.
The only word I can feel as a once avid player is that I felt disrespected? Felt like Activision executives thought they could get away with anything.
The ridiculous fail of anti-cheat over 5 years and lying saying it’s improving. BlackCell Battle Pass upgrades for ridiculous prices. Selling bundles on individual guns to squeeze out as much money as possible. The failure in how they handled the entire Warzone franchise and filling it with bloat.
I could go on forever. It’s just a shame. Thousands of talented developers forced to rush and release things they don’t agree with because of executive greed.
It’s cliché but I really do miss what Call of Duty once was.
The hardest thing about trying to be comp on 2k isn’t your own skill, it’s your surroundings and peers/teammates.
As each year passes more and more of your friends quit gaming and you are forced to make new friends.
You lose passion and just don’t care about being comp anymore.
When I was younger I always laughed at the older players for just playing rec and not wanting to be comp.
Now I understand why. You need everything to go right to be “comp” playing for fun and casually is less stress and work.
