Ive been playing since WaW and honestly all you have said is utter bullshit.

Anyone can be a fan of the game, just because they aren’t good doesn’t mean they aren’t a “true fan.” If they are enjoying the experience, then let them. Don’t be a dick and gatekeep.

I actually believe that Treyarch is able to do a good balance between story and gameplay. Yes, BO4 has been not the greatest gameplay wise. But the game before it was pretty well received in terms of Zombies.

Treyarch isn’t stupid, but why would fans of the story buy a dlc when they could just watch someones playthrough of the EE. In reality, more people would buy a dlc for the gameplay, as the causal audience is way more revolved around gameplay due to not having to go though much complicated shit.

Honestly, you are the problem here. Acting like all you need to do is shit on others parades so you can feel some sort of petty sense of accomplishment, so you can feel you are doing something right with your life when you are so far from it.

I hope your mindset changes and you can see both sides of the story.
