NICKMERCS explains why Caldera won\u2019t change his mind on Warzone being \u201cdone\u201d Twitch: NICKMERCS \/ Raven SoftwareNick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff admits he has no plans to return to Warzone permanently, declaring he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d with the game despite this week\u2019s Caldera update finally giving Call of Duty\u2019s battle royale a long-waited makeover. Twitch fans have been begging NICKMERCS to return to Warzone for months now, after he abandoned the Call of Duty battle royale for Apex Legends. That wait, it seems, will continue on indefinitely. NICKMERCS is returning to Warzone this week, but has confirmed it\u2019s only a short-term comeback. The Twitch star has made it very clear he thinks the Call of Duty battle royale is \u201cdone,\u201d and won\u2019t roll back his decision to jump ship for the franchise\u2019s arch-rival, Apex Legends. \u201cListen, I don\u2019t want anyone to get mad, but I\u2019m going back to Call of Duty again, and I want to make my intentions clear,\u201d he explained. \u201cI have big plans for Apex Legends. I\u2019m just playing Warzone this week.\u201d Caldera \u2014 Warzone\u2019s new Vanguard map \u2014 may be luring Kolcheff back, but he\u2019s made it clear it\u2019s an \u201cin-and-out\u201d return, not a permanent stay. \u201cI do want to go back and play Call of Duty again. I miss playing with Cloakzy and Tim, all those guys, and it\u2019s really fun playing CoD in general too,\u201d NICKMERCS said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great game. The cheating\u2019s out of control, that\u2019s a big issue, yeah, but in general, Warzone is a beautiful game. I\u2019m really excited for the island map [Caldera] and I really, really want to go try it. So I\u2019m going to go do that. It doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not done with it beyond that though. \u201cI\u2019m going to play some Warzone, yes, for a couple of days. Don\u2019t think for a moment that means I\u2019m going back to play CoD though, every day. That\u2019s not what it\u2019s going to be. There\u2019s too many issues there for that to last. \u201cI want to be very transparent, before we open doors back to Call of Duty. I\u2019m going to play what I want to, what I\u2019m actually f**king into. And that\u2019s not Warzone.\u201d NICKMERCS then turned his attention to his Twitch fanbase, and their near-constant demands for him to go back to Verdansk in the half a year since he quit. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy man, motherf**kers don\u2019t want you to play what you want to enjoy anymore,\u201d Twitch\u2019s superstar streamer said. \u201cIf you pop off on a game, they expect you to play that game, just that game, for the rest of time. \u201cIt\u2019s such an odd thing about gaming communities. \u201cI used to be all Warzone, yes, and we all know that. But that game, I think, is done. I also used to be all Fortnite too, and all Gears of War before that. Heck, before that it was Uno and Monopoly,\u201d he continued, laughing. \u201cThere\u2019s been so many chapters to this stream, I don\u2019t know how y\u2019all think it goes. \u201cYou can\u2019t stay in eighth grade forever, you have to graduate. I don\u2019t plan on returning to Warzone. I don\u2019t want to play one game for the rest of my life.\u201d Related segment begins at 2:07 in the video below. The biggest argument against NICKMERCS sticking with Apex Legends long-term and avoiding Warzone has been that his Twitch numbers would take a hit. The 31-year-old says none of that matters to him. \u201cI\u2019ve always been a guy that, I don\u2019t live and die by my numbers, but I\u2019m proud of my numbers. Some people don\u2019t give a f**k. I definitely care\u2026 When Warzone was at its max, viewership was crazy for everybody, not just me. We were hitting 80,000 viewers playing pubs with Tim. 80k was a normal Tuesday. \u201cApex is just point blank not as popular [as Warzone]. It\u2019s not as big as Call of Duty,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd so, viewership may be down, yes, but we\u2019re still crushing it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
