People paying 70$ for games that were already released is why the gaming industry is so lame right now.

Yeah, I thought that it might just be review bombing by people pissed off about it, but while player scores are a lot lower than the critic scores, the critics are rating it pretty badly too.

EDIT: Forbes is running an article talking about how badly it's reviewed compared to every other game in the franchise:

It's pretty interesting seeing the playercount on Steam over time, especially since Steam only has an entry for "Call Of Duty," where all the games function as DLC. --

MW2's Steam release (no Warzone) - 263k peak players

Warzone's Steam release - 491k peak players

MW3's Steam release (including Warzone) - 190k peak players

Shit I was just having fun playing all the maps from the old days. Was it worth 70? Idk are wheat thins worth $6?. I hope enjoying something that is just okay doesn’t lose me the esteemed regard of the people who rate my buzzed up commentary.
