  One of the subtle comments that @TheXclusiveAce makes in his video about the SBMM nonsense from yesterday with MW4 is the 80/20 split. @asha_shar would know this from her time in the rest of the Microsoft business - the idea that you hand-wave away your 20% most engaged customers for the long tail is just antithetical to how EVERY business works. I agree with Ace, those tweets, and the attitude in general is, "We know you folks in the top 20% are coming back anyway, so we're focusing on the bottom 80% who play the game for a few weeks at launch and periodically". That's just utterly wild. I think the single biggest problem that Asha Shar has at Activision and with COD, and likely across other Xbox Studios, is that their executives are being measured on metrics that are disassociated from "fun" and tailored to things that provide short-term benefits for managers being measured against bad KPIs. You see this in the AI space now, the online Twitter crowd are "tastemakers" and so you have to keep them onside - not pander to creators and make the game for them, but you have to not antagonize them or just ignore them with, "Well, actually, our data says..." Ace made a good subtle comment in his video, it was like Infinity Ward said, "We know you tell us you don't enjoy this, but our data says you are having fun." That's insane. The top 20% either don't matter (that's a terrible business decision) or the top 20% don't know that they are actually having fun (that's obscenely patronizing or gaslighting depending on your view). That messaging yesterday was one of the biggest corporate bag fumbles I've seen in a long time. 100% of the beta attention now will be negative about matchmaking... Self-owned.

  @the_clay_bird @SolarisSabre @hutchinson I’m listing the issues…..and you’re just spewing bullshit. You haven’t disputed anything with any facts They rereleased BO1 & BO2 which had better numbers than the current CoD. Says it all. Either way, my points are valid and anyone who played CoD, with a brain, would agree.

  @Williamoogle @BlackBurai Low iq zoomer problems. Go play CoD if you want to cry about not having 120 fps when playing a slow-paced game

  @Megamad11 @Genki_JPN That's the issue, we only tend to notice for games we want to buy, I'm sure there are loads more that got a limited physical release, while games like COD & FC sit in thier hoards in second hand stores with millions more discs than needed.

  @ayonaruto_ @InfinityWard same problem here but maybe just maybe its not ready yet therefore why non of us xbox pc players havent gotten the code via mail yet

  @TheDynaMight By that logic all the other previous cod games are also terrible since players do the exact same thing. At this point it might just be a skill issue.

  @BigfryTV I want to get this COD so bad. But know for a fact it's not worth it. I just know it's going to let me down with all the BS they keep developing. I love broken games. I have spent hundreds on EFT lol, but COD has lost my interest. There is a big list of improvements needed.

  @CallofDuty Youre lying. In the older cods i could run around with a knife or riotshield and drop a nuke no problem. It was fun cause i didnt have to try like crazy. Now every lobby im in i get kids running around slide canceling not missing a shot. Just get rid of sbmm, leave it to rankked

  Truth hurts more than lies, and the reality is you’re out of touch with the core community. We are actual cod players to you, we are not hating content creators, we speaking truth and positives and we trying to making understand you, we trying to fix currently states of cod.
