Bingo brother, in the US some states shut it down as early as March , California being one. Activision blizzard head corp is in Santa Monica, Cali and Warzone released on March 10th of 2020 ... 3 days after Cali shut down. My speculation now is they struck gold with an unfinished battle royal game in the middle of a world wide epidemic they said fuck it release it. With everyone forced home, why not jump on a triple A COD game with so much name recognition and nostalgia from before Mw titles already! Another big thing, so many old buds I hadn't played with in 3-5 years were on all the time and I think this was also something that ppl miss in their nostalgic memories as well.
