It’s about to go down! w/Butch
My owner has met countless amazing men and women playing Warzone. These relationships have not only grown while I've watched him play Warzone, but the bonds he's built as a squad member with other Fo0H Tribe members have grown outside of Warzone’s virtual lobbies. It’s these relationships, with other like-minded men and women (aka Humans) that kept him coming back to your servers day in and day out. Trust me I know, I sit at his feet while he's playing every night!
My owner's whole point of playing video games is to have a place where like-minded men and women can hang out, chill, talk smack, BS, fart, drink beer, smoke whatever, and get away from the daily grinds of life. Over the years, I've observed that video games have turned into a “semi” healthy outlet for some humans and the video game industry has helped foster and promote a new way to connect with strangers across the globe. There is no doubt my owner is grateful. I'm sure if you asked a hundred or even a million other video game players, they would all agree. Thank you for allowing him to connect with people that I'm sure he would have never considered talking with or drinking a beer with in the real world. It's clear to me after watching the countless hours of video gaming sessions he's played that your software platform and maybe many other platforms have helped create a virtual community that is breaking down racial barriers.
Despite my comments above, I could tear the ass-end out of a dead Rhino, I'm so frustrated with the horse shit your company is pulling. Since my owner is furious and I've always got his back, I'm furious also. How do you treat other humans who have supported you through the years with so much disrespect? My owner doesn’t feel like he's being heard and neither does the Warzone community. My sniffer tells me that you're only in it for the money and you don't care about this community of humans who buy your software.
Not having an effective way to block and ban cheaters is simply insane to me and my owner. I'm a dog and I know that's f@cking insane! The Warzone Executives and Developers are allowing and have created a toxic gaming environment that has hurt how my owner communicates & strategizes with his bro's. Not only does this toxic environment make it almost impossible for him to win fairly, but it’s creates a hostile environment for people that he plays with who want to win and who don’t cheat. The Warzone landscape has become a place where cheaters are rewarded for lying to the public about their abilities until they get caught. Streamers of Warzone, if they have a large enough following usually get special treatment if they have an audience and receive incentives from Activision to keep growing their fan base or community. How does someone, like my owner, who doesn’t cheat and wants to boost their skills get ahead? From where I sit, the reality is, they don’t. The relationship that Activision has with its end-users is simply abusive and dysfunctional.
The community that my owner plays with, they don't tolerate any cheating on any level. They pride themselves on beating cheaters at their own game, by trying to outplay them when we can. It’s getting harder and harder with each new update and my owner is furious and says, he's finally had enough.
Activision, you have spit in everyone’s face for being loyal and supporting your game. Activision, you’ve made it easy for cheaters to ruin their gaming experience because you're unwilling to change. Activision, you have sold out to corporate greed. Nothing has worked and you continue to promote and build a game that rewards the players who are doing everything to destroy it.
What you have done, in my humble canine opinion, is criminal and something tells me that if you were investigated by any federal authorities, just like the cigarette companies back in the 90’s, they would uncover a massive fraud. My owner believes the CEO of Activision knew about what was happening internally within his company and promoted it and rewarded employees to continue to defraud the global marketplace. You said, "Keep the Warzone money train rolling at whatever the cost and we will deal with the consequences if they ever present themself." According to the Wall Street Journey I pissed on this morning, MicroSoft owns Activision now and all the former Activision executives have cashed out and I’m sure patting themselves on the back for single-handedly fleecing the global public out of their hard-earned money.
There is a story here, I would be willing to bet an entire month of bone marrow treats on it. In the end, the blame falls back on my owner’s shoulders for trusting and believing that the largest video game publishing company in the world would ever care or even consider “what is in the best interest for the consumer”. You’ve got your money, that’s all you care about, everyone else can simply #GFY. It’s not your problem anymore, is it?
In closing, I would like to reach out to Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, and simply say, I believe you have an opportunity of a lifetime here. Please consider re-building Warzone from scratch, and take it off the market for how long. My owner believes that Warzone needs a major overhaul and so does its community. He simply can’t take the madness anymore, it’s emotionally abusive to him, me, and the fans. The definition of insanity is, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result!”.
So this goes out to all the dog and animal lover out there who work hard for their money and support their families and loved ones and pets. Consider rebuilding Warzone and returning it to its former glory, an epic first-person player video game that has a level playing field for all. Is that too much to ask for? Time will tell.
Finally, a big "Fuck You" goes out to Activision and all your senior leaders who are riding high on their golden parachutes. Eventually, you will fall back down to earth and my master and I will be waiting patiently to put you in a finishing move!
