Yes I am completely out of the loop, I'm an old school CoD player and the only time I really played was the early modern warfare games back when multiplayer was acceptable and even back then it was pretty bad let's be real. I logged in warzone awhile back since it was one of the most played games out there allegedly just to see if it was even worth a casual play and I thought it was shit back then.
Now I discover as someone who never touches this crap usually they're trying to get your phone number on top of forcing you to log into a third party launcher via steam. This is so shit and I'm quite surprised that the steam reviews don't bring this up more as a feature of how bad the game is. So that's an instant uninstall from me and it seems like the security features and moderation for online games are going to get even worse than I imagined.
This is what absolute shit people are playing now? A half-arsed battle royale FPS that tries to spy on you and runs like a potato because they vomited polygons and 4k textures everywhere massively bloating the installation size?
It's all about getting your data nowadays so they can sell it on to marketing companies later. Their 'security procedures' are a joke when you look at how many times they get hacked.
As for CoD, never really play it but before Sony fucked it up, A LOT of them on Xbox wanted to jump over to Helldivers 2 than continue to play. There's a lot of people playing it and more remembering the fun they used to have in the past than having fun NOW.

someone's got to come up with a way to poison our data that they can't counter without massive expenditure.
can agree, i mean we already got artists doing it to their art for anti ai scraping. we need a similar techinque that runs on your computer and browser that poisons the data. the only way to stop this data farming is to make it unprofitable.
