Two developers recently opened up about the ongoing Warzone issue after the content creator, XVI, called them out on Twitter. Matt Scronce, who works as the Design Associated Director over at Treyarch, responded by saying, “legal and licensing reasons that are outside of my wheelhouse. I don’t like it any more than you do.” Meanwhile, Sledgehammer Game’s Communications Manager, had a similar response, “I agree it’s very confusing for us too, but for legal reasons, we can’t.” Naturally, this “our hands are tied” explanation didn’t sit too well with fans. Some argued that this would have been so simple to fix and yet the many studios working on Warzone still can’t find a way to make patch notes more simple. Unfortunately, based on the tweets, it appears that the licensing issues plaguing Warzone will probably extend to Modern Warfare 2 and probably even Warzone 2.

Speaking of Call of Duty, you’ll find out more about the future of the franchise at Call of Duty Next on September 15.
