Vikkstar claims to have ‘open line of communication directly with Activision’ after quitting Warzone
One of Call of Duty‘s largest content creators, Vikkstar, said today that he has an “open line of communication directly with Activision” in regard to cheating in Warzone following his decision to quit the battle royale game.
Warzone players have been frustrated with the amount of cheating in the battle royale game for some time, but tensions seem to be reaching a boiling point.
Thank you all for your support alongside my recent concerns to the current state of cheating in Warzone.
As an update, I currently have an open line of communication directly with Activision regarding the issue. Fingers crossed for some positive changes.
— Vikkstar ★ (@Vikkstar123) February 1, 2021The frustrations of the Warzone community were summed up by streamer Bobby Poff, who lashed out at Activision in a viral rant on Jan. 28, thrusting the issue into the public eye. Bobby Poff has since deleted the tweet of the video, but it was uploaded in a Reddit thread. The rant resonated with Warzone fans across all forms of social media, with many sharing their own stories of frustration with cheaters and hackers.
Earlier in January, 100 Thieves professional Warzone player Tommey sat down with a cheater in a call and interviewed him. It’s unknown whether the cheater was banned.
Well, looks like we got another one. Hate that it even comes down to this but wow, shit is horrible. Hope this opened your eyes to what's really going on in a lot of these tournaments.
Praying there's an anti-cheat coming soon.
— Tommey (@Tommey) January 20, 2021By Jan. 30, Vikkstar had announced that he wouldn’t be playing the game anymore after finding a cheater livestreaming his hacks with seemingly no repercussions.
This is why I quit Warzone: https://t.co/7A18b1Uapp
The fact players can livestream themselves blatantly hacking with zero repurcussions blows my mind. This guy is 2nd prestige & broadcasts hours of himself hacking.
This NEEDS to be addressed & fixed @CallofDuty @RavenSoftware pic.twitter.com/jyfoEilyzJ
— Vikkstar ★ (@Vikkstar123) January 30, 2021Vikkstar hasn’t publicly said whether he’ll be returning to Warzone, merely that lines of communication are now open.
Open lines of communication are great, but cheating has been a problem since the launch of Warzone in March 2020. With Activision now facing more ire from the Warzone community than ever before, it might be too little, too late.
