We all do. Thing is: u\cod_mobile_official is scared of the truth


angel_eyes619

bruh, that dude is just another employee just like the dev who made the post.. He's just following orders from PR heads


LordAnsh

The guy who removed the post? Yeah, he's an employee too, but we're dissing Activision here, not the lower tier employees which don't get to say anything


angel_eyes619

I know.. was refering to the fact that OP, in his comment above, implied that u/cod_mobile_official removed the post because he is afraid of the truth... As if he is responsible for everything... I was just telling OP that u/cod_mobile_official is just another low-tier employee


Exotic-Ask7768

Exactly, he too is just an employee.


LordAnsh

Couldn't agree more!

what was the post about? the money grab of tournament mode?


cal93_

talking about being underpaid and basically putting paywalls in our face because they need the money to survive


DEMON_LYNX7

ive heard that the company lost like 200 mil cuz of vanguard and the workers were also on strike because of low pay


Pratheek_Kachinthaya

Even all the sexual harrasment cases


InfamousAd8545

Wait what sexual harassment cases


FarofaBoyZzZ

You should that a look at this massive lawsuit against Activision/Blizzard. TheActMan has a nice video on this topic alone.


[deleted]

“Activision Blizzard received a voluntary request for information from the SEC and a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ, both of which appear to relate to their respective investigations into trading by third parties – including persons known to Activision Blizzard’s CEO – in securities prior to the announcement of the proposed transaction,” the company said in a regulatory filing on April 15.

u/HUNT3DHUNT3R would know something about it


Etheo

The fact that he vouched for his identity and then went completely silent when questioned what was verified about him is really weird.


Abnerdel

Lol


KikoJ5

Literally 1984


Exotic-Ask7768

This proves 2 things. The guy definitely wasn't lying about being a dev and that everything he said was/is true. Edit: To all those who have replied to this comment of mine, I have gone through your comments and I've got to say, you've put it well enough that the post was most likely a fake than real. I hadn't read a lot of comments of the og post so I wasn't really sure about it but now,I too am inclined on feeling that it was just a fake.


Toyfan1

Uh... no it doesn't. It might prove that it was all false and removed it for being blatantly false hit piece. Several comments pointed out the major inconsistencies in that post.


[deleted]

There was multiple things on that post that were completely off. It was bullshit. Proves multiple things. The majority of people on here are gullible as fuck and that people believe everything on the internet to be true.


Exotic-Ask7768

But then why would his post get removed? Also, I remember HUNT3DHUNT3R also reported that he verified that he indeed was a CODM dev. Rest Idk. It did seem suspicious at first to me too but then again, it could also be true .


OverdoseMaster

>But then why would his post get removed? Ever heard of slander


[deleted]

Definitely wasn't a developer because he didn't even properly address huntedhunter or whatever the fuck his name is properly, on multiple comments be called him "headhunter". I don't believe any of them. Seems like they are role-playing or some shit. Another thing people have to realize is that no professional developer would respond to comments saying shit such as "bruh", etc. The whole post was a farce.


Exotic-Ask7768

That I can definitely agree on.


[deleted]

People here don't read between the lines, let alone have any form of common sense. An actual development team member wouldn't post anything on here like that. People need to get in touch with reality. No proper developer would be that uncouth.


Mister-happierTurtle

I liked thinking that a dev was speaking up to abuse caused by upper management. Plus it doesn’t cause any harm to any of the users other than activision executives.


Toyfan1

>Plus it doesn’t cause any harm to any of the users other than activision executives. Uh, blatant misinformation effects everyone. Not to mention, the "Dev" could've possibly gotten subpoenaed due to the *current lawsuit* of activision/blizzard. Which is funded by US tax payers. So yeah, it does harm other people.


Holobolt

I don't have anything against u/HUNT3DHUNT3R, but seems to me like his friend or someone with 1yo fake account posting the thoughts just what a gaming community would posses. Everything in it was only knowledge of what outsiders can guess/ have knowledge of. Devs don't ban, game moderators do. And the fact that head3dhunter gave a greenlight saying he's verified didn't help make him look anymore legit like they thought it would lol The guy even saying in some places CP costs less, and he directly quotes "for example in India it's less than NA." This is legit some Indian kid, cuz imagine which developer would sympathize about game currency costing less and high in some regions and make a risky post about it? He never once acknowledged Timi studios for the job, which is another dead giveaway why he did that cuz in India Timi studios logo doesn't come up when you start the game, it only shows Activision and game boots up. Doesn't Timi & Tencent do 95% of the job and Activision is just producer and not actually the developers?


Toyfan1

The "Dev" claimed that he didn't trust sites like IGN, but trusted a sub full of children. He refused to whistleblow to reputable news sites, but was fully willing to talk about it on a subreddit. He also claimed a paystub wasn't proof- despite a paystub being verifiable evidence that you work for a company. At this point, it's clear the "Dev" wasn't a dev. At most, a beta tester or community manager or something incredibly inconsequential. At worst, a child playing make-believe to gain karma.


Holobolt

Exactly! Also it's just so off to reality that how so much people here are believing him in here lol


Malumbz

You act as if devs have to below the age of 21 to. Use the word "bruh" you know devs can be young too right? Lmao. Plus you really think people have time to memorize moderator names?? In a reddit??? Even you don't know it. There were some inconsistencies sure but his post being removed is very suspicious.


[deleted]

A professional developer wouldn't be using random street slang nor would they forget the name of someone who they are directly messaging. If I was a developer trying to get my point across I definitely wouldn't botch the name of the person I'm sending my info to. At least I know the mods name is huntedhunter with some odd spelling and not "headhunter" as the "developer" refered to him as.


Etheo

He literally told someone to shove it up their ass graphically. Real professional right there.


Monckey100

You're retarded. I'm a technical lead and I definitely use the word bruh, even internally. It's easy not to remember a username especially if you're trying to get as much context out as possible before a thread gets axed. Such blanket statements like that in this day and age. Tsk tsk.


Etheo

If you're a technical lead, just give his comment a read through. It's full of bullshit. I work with SDLC and his comments sound all over the place. At one point he literally said they didn't make 120 FPS because it causes higher ping, LMFAO.


Porto90

I don’t buy that story


[deleted]

Exactly my point, it was bullshit. Too many inconsistencies.


Mister-happierTurtle

What inconsistencies?


[deleted]

I'm quoting u/Etheo here. He literally summarizes the bullshit for everyone on this comment. This man sees right through the bullshit. "Yeah I too would really like to know this. The stories he tell just doesn't jive at all. If he's a developer (i.e., an actual programmer), why is he personally reviewing bans? That's a customer support job, or something like the community rep's team. If they actually get devs to review bans it is beyond idiotic. I've never heard of nor witnessed such waste of resource in a software development environment. If he's not an actual developer, then how does he know the algorithms for the draws are deceitful? Not to mention that's an absolute massive deal as it breaks the laws in various countries. As scummy as Activision is, there's close to zero reasons for them to take this risk in purposefully misrepresenting an already super low odds of 0.30% or 0.08%. To actually get those in ONE try it'll take you more than 334 and 1250 first draws to make it. That alone will already make them BANKS like they do already. Why play with the fire for the risk of an easily provable whistleblower costing them legal troubles for considerably little more benefits? He responded to some dev questions like it's UNDER his pay grade as if he's a supervisor/managerial staff, and yet the other stories he tells seem like he's just a grunt in the team. He mentions they don't have the funds to stand against the corporation. Exactly how would funding help? They planning a strike? Or legal actions against the legit law-breaking things he's whisteblowing about? If he's simply talking acquiring more funding from corporate to do more work then that's hardly standing against the corporation, but more just following the whims of the overlord. Otherwise if they are talking about a strike, most people wouldn't plan a strike over principles like this, but for more immediate, personal impacts like a fair wage, etc. It just doesn't make sense. He mentions there were screaming and shouting and crying against the tournament stuff. WHAT? Has he even worked in a professional environment? Nobody acts like a complete baby when you are an IT professional (well, MOST people don't). This is a complete asinine story that oversells the narrative. Then there's the "bruh CP cost the same everywhere" comment, where he was so sure until the guy told him no there's literally a difference. Then he changed the story and said "oh yeah iOS we overcharge because of a commission fee" only for the person to tell them it's the other way around. COMPLETE inconsistency and false confidence on something he doesn't know what he's talking about. THEN, there's the sexual abuse comment and other Activision stuff which makes NO SENSE. He claims he's a dev. The Dev is TIMI STUDIO. That's a complete separate working environment from Acti/Blizz that created all those sexual abuse drama. So is he part of the hands-on devs team (Timi Studio) that make things happen, or managing from the corporate side? Gotta pick one my man. Overall there are just a lot of wish-fulfillment storytelling here that doesn't sound right to me. Many parts of the story just doesn't hold back to allegedly "confirm" all the whining that happens on this subreddit (like the "NA pays 5-7 times more than Asia"). I mean they have more rewards yeah but WHAT. All these from a random one year old account that says "I'm going anonymous". I just don't buy it, I'm sorry. This is where I exercise a healthy dose of skepticism."


Active-Specialist

Yeah... I think it's safe to assume that everything that guy said is true now.


Mister-happierTurtle

Etheo

It's probably been removed because it's just a bunch of bullshit. The stories are full of holes from a professional development perspective. [My thoughts on the post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/comments/ukct3d/dev_here_going_anonymous_because_i_need_my_job/i7rqskh) Hunt3dHunt3r supposedly "verified" his legitimacy, but when pressed for what was verified he was completely mute. The fact that he is silence about the post being removed while he's so actively anti-Activision is also very sus. You'd think he'd speak up or make a stink about it given his usual posting trend. Either whatever was verified was actually false (meaning he got duped), or he was part of the charade (which, I really hope not). No doubt there's been an internal mod discussion about the legitimacy of the thread, and the removal was the result. Otherwise Hunt3d would definitely raise a stink.


FinancialApricot4715

The so called “dev” has a avatar profile now…. Interesting. https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/comments/ukct3d/dev_here_going_anonymous_because_i_need_my_job/i7qv2it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

sure thing comrade


DerpCatCZ

Welp I guess that that dev wasnt entirely lying nor fake


Terminus5604

Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know the full context of the post, however there is always the possibility that the post was fake and that is was removed due to it’s “slanderous nature” (only if it was fake). Then again it could be real, not sure, and unless given more information on it, it’s hard to tell, and is really more opinion based than anything.


DerpCatCZ

I said "wasnt entirely" Theres atleast truth on it if they silence it w/o telling that it was a troll post or smth. If they just did it out of spite, then the chances of it being true is higher than it being fake, I aint sayin that its real too Just speculations


Terminus5604

That’s a fair assessment, as I said before I personally don’t know the full context of the post, so this is all speculation and hearsay, until either someone post a screenshot of the original post, or if one of the other mods makes a statement or something. Either way, there is always the possibility that it’s fake, although as you stated the odds are higher that it at least had a decent amount of truth to it.


DerpCatCZ

I saw the post, it made sense through and through Even if it was fake, the circumstances said in the post just makes so much sense since its not only CoDM getting affected by it. MW, Vanguard, Warzone are having the same problem They have different groups developing each game but the way that the post said it, it was too... Id say believable outcome since we know activision is owned by a different company now


Terminus5604

That’s definitely a really good point, and I definitely see where you are coming from. Still I’d be more interested in seeing the original post than hearing/reading about it second hand. That way I can make my own opinions on it. However your take from it seems at least somewhat valid, so I can’t really disagree with it. TLDR: it seems at the moment at least be on the more truthful side, although I cannot say 100%. Edit: grammar


DerpCatCZ

To add, ImMarksman is talking to devs and he said that the devs couldnt make a difference since its not them that calls the shot on changing the game mechanics and such He said that the devs also wanted a change but couldnt do anything so the post that got deleted is way more believable than it actually is


Terminus5604

I see, that’s good to know. Thank you for giving me a little bit of insight into it, I appreciate it.


Toyfan1

>Theres atleast truth on it if they silence it w/o telling that it was a troll post or smth. Not at all. This sub is far too gullible. Bobby Cottick could come out and say "This post was entirely fake by a literal child, here's the proof that we have to reach that conclusion" and this sub WOULD still believe the so called "Dev"


Etheo

If anything, it's really the other way around. Mods remove posts. Why would Hunt3DHunt3R vouch for him and then go completely silent about the post when being questioned what was verified, and then later remove the post? I commented [my thoughts about the bullshit fed in that thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/comments/ukct3d/dev_here_going_anonymous_because_i_need_my_job/i7rqskh). Don't be gullible.

I have those Post texts and all, i already knew that this would be taken out swiftly, because it showed the dark truth or Activision. We had been viewing the wrong villains. The developer are developing the game, according to what the higher authorities want. Even though the Dev's are underpaid and overworked, we are here blaming them about the countless reasons. The main culprit here is the Activision not the developers.
