Sledgehammer Games, Infinity Ward, and Treyarch, I speak to you all: why do you ignore us? Is it because we're not on some mainstream website like YouTube all of the time? What will it take to actually get you to care for us again? Ever since Modern Warfare 2 past, you treated us akin to vermin within your office for endless years, even though you've actually acknowledged us before. Now you turn your back against us by making this in-game wiki, which will likely eclipse our own fan-dedicated wiki. We represent the fans, the majority of consumers in your franchise. Yet you decide to look towards massive quote/unquote "YouTube Superstars" of whom are on your payroll, like TmartN, Drift0r/Brad, and Ali-A to represent your community as a whole. They're not doing this for the faint of heart anymore, because money talks, and they only talk for the cash, not for the pleasure. In fact, I believe their works tarnish you and their reputations as a whole.

So, what does it take for such a AAA franchise, capable of so much, to acknowledge us once more? Must we need YouTube accounts or big names on our side for you to consider our words and/or actions (bar the ones that would tarnish your own reputation of course, such as our April Fool's Joke)? Clearly, your intentions are on just making money. Ever heard of the word "Fanbase"? Because you need a fanbase to support your game, yet you don't give a single shit for the fanbase of your own. You're merely using big name YouTubers as the foundation; a foundation with a design flaw.
