Activision has shed more light on Call of Duty leaks following the company reportedly taking legal action to get a prominent Call of Duty leak account to stop posting.
In a YouTube comment on a TDAWG video, Activision said it understands that “rumors are part of gaming culture,” along with “healthy online speculation.” But Activision said it draws a line “when leaks turn into viral misinformation.” This “undermines our developers and also distorts player expectations of the games we’re making,” the developer said.
“When that happens, we’re going to step in and set the record straight,” Activision said.
It’s interesting to see Activision addressing the impact of misinformation on players. Clear communication is crucial in the gaming community, especially with so much speculation floating around. Hopefully, this leads to a more positive environment for everyone involved.
