Call of Duty developers past and present have taken to social media to express their frustration with a comment made by God of War voice actor Christopher Judge at The Game Awards.
The saltiness of the CoD devs says a lot about their culture to be honest. They say what Judge said was “inappropriate” but can’t look at themselves and the way they responded
Right? Some of their responses are very unprofessional, they seem like children lashing out with no regard to what they're actually saying. These devs just taught me the true definition of butthurt. I don't understand why they took it so personally and couldn't just see it as a little friendly roasting-no, one of them had to go so far as to put down all God of War games by comparing 'metrics' as if you could even compare the two. Seems these guys have some inner turmoil over not producing good quality games. Need to humble themselves.
Wah. Stop putting up with crunch and make something artistic for once, instead of the next annual COD w/ season pass and BR mode.
I laughed when Chris Judge said that and he's damn right. Sales =/= good game unless you're a suit or investor, and surprise, I don't give a shit what someone who's probably never played a video game thinks makes a good game (it's not battlepasses, skinner boxes, and FOMO).
If you can't handle the jokes and criticism that comes with making a shit game, then maybe don't shit out a shitty dlc in 18 months and sell it as its own standalone game with a full price tag? I think the game awards would be way more interesting and funny if a little more roasting happened towards the companies and games that deserve it
Comparing single player game vs a multiplayer portion of a game or do you really think that people are just replaying COD's campaign over and over again? I mean maybe they are, it's really short and badly written and done after all
It's quite ironic when the biggest gaming event calls you out on a practice you are actively participating in and you can't just brush it off as easily.
Very good for this to get exposure. I hope they earn a shit storm for this.
We really live in an age of snowflakes. People can't just take one on the chin and move on, particularly when it's justified. And even feel the need to hit back making it even worse. Sad times.
True. It's unfortunate. We're socially losing the ability to talk to each other effectively, without resorting to playing the victim, rejecting responsability and hitting back.
Two years ago Will Smith hit Chris Rock because of a joke, and everyone crucified him for that, but through words the developers are hitting back in a childish and rude way as well to Judge.
