Let’s be honest, Warzone is going through a rough patch right now. Many people have been complaining of absolutely game-breaking bugs, with some of them being related to graphics while others, as is the case with some console players, won’t even allow you to start up the game at all.
Now it’s been revealed on social media that some of the Raven Software quality testers got fired before the release of the new map. Other quality testers went on to protest and strike against the layoffs, over 17 days ago now, as they’re apparently still on strike today. “We have been striking for close to 17 days now with no response to our demand: those laid off from Raven QA must be reinstated. Soon we will be starting our paid holiday vacation (which was fought for by workers organizing).”
The biggest reason behind the strike was apparently QA testers being asked to move to Wisconsin, where they’d get a full-time contract and employment. This didn’t happen in the end for a lot of them. The situation is far from ideal and might explain why a lot of the current issues in Warzone have been popping up. With the holidays coming up, it’s unlikely that the situation will be addressed soon, however.
