Black Ops 4 Design Director Vonderhaar responds to accusations that he lied over Blackout characters Treyarch Studio Design Director Black Ops 4 released. Players have been voicing their frustration with Treyarch since they introduced a form of loot box with Reserve Crates on February 20. Reddit user \u2018lagmademedoit\u2019 shared their ire against the company\u2019s decision to have playable characters in Blackout unlocked through the crates. Vonderhaar\u2019s response came after lagmademedoit called out Vonderhaar for an interview he did with Game Informer, where Vonderhaar specifically listed the ways Blackout characters would be unlocked: \u201cmissions for characters and progression of the game.\u201d (Timestamp for mobile viewers 2:12) Vonderhaar gave a lengthy comment in which he posed his Game Informer answers as being honest based on the information he had at the time. \u201cAt the time this interview was conducted, which was previous to shipping the game, that\u2019s precisely and exactly how it worked,\u201d Vonderhaar said. \u201c\u2026 but things change that I can not predict or I didn\u2019t know about. Doubly true with the business side of things which have little insight into and even less control over.\u201d While Vonderhaar\u2019s answer addressed key points in the thread, many weren\u2019t easily swayed. Some accused the Director of being dishonest in his reply, saying that his experience working with Activision should have lent some degree of foresight.

So YES he knows damn well paid loot boxes will be added and the players also should have known,\u201d one user said. Vonderhaar provided no further comment in the thread. While some people accepted the response, it left a vocal portion of community members with more questions than answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
