    I honestly believe this could have been achieved already, at least in my country. But opportunities to push us in that direction are avoided more often than not. Maybe the same cha…

    Apparently they lose players when the game receives large updates, so I think this is a pain point for them as well. https://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-warzone-cant-have-more-...…
