The hacking issue in Call of Duty: Warzone has reached its peak following a massive outrage from the community. Fans of the game have berated the developers at Activision and Raven Software for allowing cheaters to run rampant. This has caused a serious dent in the experience, and the players don’t enjoy playing the game anymore.

For the past few months, various content creators and streamers have joined forces in the fight against hackers. British YouTuber and Sidemen member Vikkstar took the lead in this issue after his decision to quit the game because of hackers gained widespread attention earlier this year. Since then he has returned and maintained an open line of communication with the developers to fix the problem. However, it seems like that might not be the case anymore.

It’s a shame that popular content creators of Warzone can’t even with the developers anymore. Along with that, it’s even worse with Vikkstar as he is the co-owner of a Call of Duty League franchise in the London Royal Ravens.
