Episode 151: Activision Sexual Misconduct Allegations

We start with some announcements, including The Dropshot Invitational #3 tournament rules, before getting into some other topics like the OTs 9 in Warzone, Twitch streamers cheating for money in tournaments, the spiraling decay of Warzone, and more. 🔹Tournament rules & sign-up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12fhKCBPh5QFKfWnv4mglSuQ85Z21Pje1KoY3Cw7_j00/edit?usp=sharing 🔹 @TheXclusiveAce on the OTs 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2i5lesfhdk 🔹The Dropshot subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/dropshotpodcast 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:33 - Acknowledgments & announcements 00:17:22 - Activision sexual misconduct allegations 00:35:34 - Playlist updates/double XP 00:37:15 - C58/4x fix in Warzone 00:38:11 - Cold War brief patch notes 00:39:08 - Unlimited Dead Silence in Warzone 00:41:07 - Hidden changes with Season 4 Reloaded 00:47:08 - OTs 9 Warzone stats 00:55:36 - Another ban wave 00:57:07 - Twitch streamers Davskar & VAFundedDad cheating in tournaments 01:09:13 - Warzone will never be playable again 01:13:58 - Into the mind of Warzone cheaters 01:24:21 - Activision hiring 2,000 people over the next year 01:26:13 - Warzone is losing popularity; data 01:32:04 - Plugs, reminders, & outro The podcast is streamed live on our website (https://www.thedropshot.com/live) every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7 o'clock Pacific Time.
