Nadeshot discusses why he hopes the Call of Duty franchise “fails”

100 Thieves co-owner and popular Twitch streamer Matthew &quot;Nadeshot&quot; recently took to The CouRage and Nadeshot Show, which is a part of the 100 Thieves Cast channel on YouTube, to speak about the current state of the Call of Duty (CoD) franchise. Interestingly, Matthew hoped that the franchise performs poorly for a few years as this could spur Activision to create top-tier shooter games.The podcast, which ran for about 44 minutes, was divided into multiple segments dedicated to different topics. In the second half of the podcast, the duo turned their attention to the popular CoD franchise. Matthew, who is considered a veteran streamer within the community, felt that such a failure would likely act as a catalyst to create successful titles in the future.Dexerto@DexertoNadeshot explained why he wants Call of Duty to flop273999Nadeshot explained why he wants Call of Duty to flop https://t.co/qFsRJRxOKZNadeshot and CouRage exchange thoughts on the Call of Duty franchiseAfter a short break of about two weeks, the well-known streamer duo returned with the next episode of their highly anticipated podcast. During the show, Jack &quot;CouRage&quot; stated that he would rather see the developers take their time to work on the DMZ mode of the recently released Warzone 2.0 instead of releasing it on such short notice:&quot;I would rather DMZ mode get all the love it deserves, and release it at the end of year one of the two-year cycle and really give it a full year of that polish...&quot;(Timestamp: 30:52)Responding to CouRage's opinion, Nadeshot added:&quot;Shi**y as it might sound, I've always sort of hoped that there would be a string of years where Call of Duty just flops, just fails, because I think if they really re-center themselves, re-focus, and compartmentalize their intention, they would come out the other end with one of the best products, if they did it right and executed properly.&quot;Providing additional reasons for the franchise's success, he further added:&quot;There's a reason why people still playing Call of Duty. I mean, to this day, especially for consoles, it's the smoothest, the best fluidity, best camera control, everything about the game is, like, nobody's been able to capture that magic.&quot;Fans share their thoughts on Nadeshot's take on the franchiseFollowing the release of the podcast's latest episode, the community took to Twitter to respond to Matthew's latest take on the popular franchise. Many believe that since the franchise is already quite successful, the developers will continue to produce &quot;subpar&quot; games, knowing that the community will invest in them regardless.Here are some relevant reactions:Realism Esports@realism_esports@Dexerto Until it no longer sells, they will keep pumping out subpar games.1281@Dexerto Until it no longer sells, they will keep pumping out subpar games.Gaming Scientist@GamexScientist@Dexerto As much as I would want that too, it will never happen because there are always going to be people buying it for the call of duty name.
