A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which says that the company has abused, discriminated against, and retaliated against its female employees and that this is not true. Activision Blizzard has said that the claims are not true. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being added as new information comes in. This is how it works:
PC gamers are reportedly having problems with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for a long time after the game’s most recent update. Warzone Pacific is a new map for the popular battle royale mode. This update was meant to start the last season of Black Ops and be part of the launch of Warzone Pacific, which adds a new map.
Black Ops Cold War was the 17th mainline game in the long-running Call of Duty action-FPS series when it came out in 2020. Fans liked the game just as much as any Call of Duty game, but it didn’t make the same waves as the new Modern Warfare game did in 2019. It still brought a lot of new things to Warzone, the free battle royale component of the series. The game’s standard multiplayer mode had the same fast-paced, addictive moment-to-moment gameplay that the series is known for. As recently as a month ago, Call of Duty: Vanguard came out. Many people are still coming back to Cold War to play new things, like the Zombies: A forsaken map that was added.
According to DualShockers, Call of Duty’s 2020 game is having a lot of problems with the December 6 update. This is bad news for these fans. The patch was supposed to improve the performance of weapons and start the process of synchronized progress for Vanguard. Many PC players have been unable to use these features because of these crashes. An error message is said to show up when the game crashes. It says “”””””””””””” “Unfortunately, the app has stopped working on its own. Trying a “Scan and Repair” might help.” Treyarch Studios told fans that they were looking into the problem, but there were no fixes in place at the time of this writing.
Considering how much Black Ops Cold War Season Six was hyped in its roadmap, this isn’t good news for fans. Players are even saying that the glitchy and unstable parts of the update were put in there to make people buy Vanguard. This is very unlikely to happen, but it is an interesting look at how gamers think about Treyarch Studios and the company that makes the game, Activision, and how they see each other.
This raises a lot of questions about why a game that came out a year ago is having so many problems at the core. There was a $70 price tag on the game, so not being able to play it well for nearly a week is certainly a valid reason for people to be angry. Treyarch will have to fix Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War soon to make these people happy.
