Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.
Popular Call of Duty: Warzone streamer TimTheTatman addressed the state of the game and its major issues with cheating in a recent stream. It's no secret that Warzone is wrought with cheaters and TimTheTatman has shared countless experiences with these evildoers in-game. The streamer is known for not mincing words and he had plenty to say while watching a hacker run amok.
TimTheTatman has a lengthy history with Warzone hackers, which is understandably frustrating. Since Tim largely streams Warzone, it is likely difficult to play so regularly when hackers are constantly ruining the experience. Still, Activision is doing very little to help with the problem outside of periodic ban waves, which has resulted in players being very blatant with their cheating due to a lack of fear of consequences. In a recent stream, TimTheTatman shared some colorful thoughts regarding the state of the incredibly popular battle royale.
While watching a cheater net roughly 20 kills, TimTheTatman expressed immense frustration with Warzone (via Reddit user harshmangat). "I hate this guy," said TimTheTatman while watching the cheater. "I wish I didn't like the game, because that would make me be able to step away a lot easier." He also noted the lack of any sort of efficient automated systems to detect cheaters and chewed the player out in game chat after the match was over, clearly boiling with rage.
Raven Software boasted roughly 50,000 new Warzone bans recently, but given how many cheaters there appear to be in the game, it seems like a drop in the bucket. As TimTheTatman noted in the stream, players can even make new accounts after they've been banned as Activision does not ban IPs, making it incredibly easy to get back into the game. There's an extreme lack of consequences for players who choose to cheat, which allows them to be much more obvious about it and in turn pollutes the quality of the game.
As frustrations continue to grow within the community, more and more players are expressing frustration similar to that of TimTheTatman. As of right now, Activision and Raven haven't shown any meaningful commitment to permanently ridding the game of hackers. Given how Warzone is filled with cheaters, it's hard to imagine fans are going to be willing to show up for the heavily-rumored WWII update of the game that will release sometime later this year. Although streamers like TimTheTatman have shown incredible patience with Warzone, that goodwill can likely only last so long.
