The Call of Duty community is one of the oldest fandoms in live-service videogames, and they are always trying to show Activision-Blizzard what they are doing wrong. In the last few years, this community has been proven to really make its complaints heard, especially with all the hackers and cheaters.

After more than 15 years, the Call of Duty franchise continues to make great sales for Activision-Blizzard. Past entries in this saga sold more than 30 million copies with just one launch, for example, Call of Duty: Black Ops, but after 2013, Activision-Blizzard didn’t share any more details of sales. This could mean that the numbers are not the same as they were at the beginning of the past decade, or they just don’t want to. In recent entries, the way to publish new content for Call of Duty has changed to meet the demands of the live-service model.

Fans are really surprised by this and are really looking forward to the new season. This will not be the only addition; Call of Duty has described all this in a blog post.

It appears that Activision-Blizzard is beginning to listen to the community and wants to make some changes about how to handle the Call of Duty franchise. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 became the worst-rated Call of Duty game ever. Fans complain about the lack of story mode or the fact that the studio is trying to merge with Warzone.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
