Who still plays this shit? Who is buying a new Call of Duty every 12 months?

For a while I just saw it as a COD subscription, a yearly $60 fee to play the same game year after year. It was a fun mindless game, but “SBMM” and their pantented system of manipulating gun accuracy and hit registration to level the playing field became too much for me. I’m not playing slots, I’m playing an FPS. I want my shots to be skill based, not engagement and retention based. Once I learned about that, the game was utterly unplayable for me.
