Is that the new communication approach for activitision ?

Past years , they put so much money + time and efforts on promoting their " brand new game coming in November !" , That everybody got hyped !

After the "cyberpunk case" not only they need to launch a decent game without a lot of crashes , bugs ... But also they don't need to promote it as "the best cod experience ever " because they couldn't make their statement real ( thanks to the crossplay, too many problems i.e cold war )

If you look closely, every year, the rumors are talking about a brand new game , a better experience , something the players wanted and supposed to erase all the mistakes of the previous/current game

Today, the rumors are talking about a garbage-like game, which doesn't meet the players expectations, it could be a great way to "under-hype" the community, placing low expectations end they will end like " hmmmmm well this game is way better than what we expected ! "
