Antipathy towards the customer always makes work less enjoyable. I hated working at subway because of the aggressive culture of customer hate the manager promoted. Obviously the opposite is bad too. Nobody wants to be a slave boy except my husband.
I am convinced poor treatment of consumers and workers are economically unsustainable.
Who downvoted? Wisconcom?
I never undestood why fans didn't jump ship sooner, it was painfully clear all the way back it halo 4 that they weren't there to make a game for halo fans, they were just there to milk the franchise.
There's not really much to jump ship to, is the problem. Especially not if you hold battle royales and extraction shooters in near-universal contempt. I tried that already. Left Titanfall 2 because Respawn stopped caring and let it die; left Destiny 2 because the PvP got catered to the 'three matches, get the pinnacle and we out til reset' casuals that never buoyed the mode in the first place; and I finally picked Halo back up... Man. That was my last ditch, 'cause there will never be military spectacle games like CoD on my machine.
Like... I just do not have a go-to pvp fps right now because everyone in the field is either chasing follow-the-leader battle royale money, or sucking tailpipe exhaust.
I get that, I'm kind of in the same boat right now. I've largely given up on these kinds of games for the time being, and the extent of multiplayer I've been doing is playing splitscreen with friends every once in while. For the most part I've just been trying to find other kinds of games. It sucks. It really seems like there aren't any good choices for pvp fps anymore.
Yea, I'm considering not coming back to Call of Duty: Mobile because it was no longer fun like it was in 2019 post-Season 6.
For me, the only acceptable military spectacle is that based around either Strangereal-esque fictional wars on non-earth settings, or historical conflicts that have already been settled ala WW2. That's... Like, it, which precludes pretty much every Call of Duty for the past ten to fifteen years.
Seems reasonable.
I still love Halo, just not 4, 5, and Infinite.
But yea, you're right. At this point the franchise is on life support.
