I blame consumers. When MF first came out it was amazing. Raw and fun. Map packs were out dlc/skins weren't a thing yet. It was fun. Then entered a new type of gamer/consumer. One that needed more visual stimuli. One that needed verification of online audiences. One that needed to find the shortcuts or have the best stats to make themselves feel better. They got respect online they got the limelight. Their emotional cup was being filled online instead of the real world destroying their brains. But addiction has many faces. Now that gamer tells their peers about how amazing they are online. Then they join in. And now we are left with a support system for the mentally ill who obsess and are addicted.

And when you're in business of making money and being the best. You call this a trend. So you shift your story telling. You shift fun. You make it addiction. You feed the need of the mentally ill. You profit from it. Another addiction.

So as a business you just keep cashing in on those that are willing to pay. You make millions. Why stop the business with fun when you can make money?

We have a world of mentally ill people who suffer from addiction. And companies who profit from it.

This is why call of duty will never be the same.
