Scump reveals why latest fine has him \u201cscared\u201d to speak out against CoD CDLCall of Duty legend Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner explained why he\u2019s going to limit his public opinions on Modern Warfare, seeing how he\u2019s avoiding another fine for speaking out against the game. The longtime CoD vet sat down with Huntsmen CEO Hector \u2018HECZ\u2019 Rodriguez on the Eavesdrop Podcast and talked about the fine that Scump received. The fine came after a segment premiered in a May 12 video of the Huntsmen round table talk ranking the Call of Duty titles featuring the pro\u2019s honest take on MW 2019. \u201cTrash, right in the trash,\u201d Scump said in the org\u2019s \u2018God or Trash.\u2019 \u201cIf Warzone didn\u2019t come [in Modern Warfare 2019], one of the worst CoDs ever made. Warzone saved this game so unbelievably hard.\u201d Speaking out against Activision\u2019s latest Call of Duty title, the streamer ran through all of the \u201ccounter-intuitive\u201d mechanics that were implemented in the game. It\u2019s because of this that Scump isn\u2019t playing around with the notion of having to cough up another invoice for expressing his thoughts. \u201cI\u2019m scared, I\u2019m scared now,\u201d Scump quipped. But because of his \u201cpenny-pinching\u201d lifestyle, getting another punishment for speaking out against MW isn\u2019t on his agenda. \u201cThey got me on a leash\u2026 I spoke honestly, and I\u2019m not allowed to do that.\u201d Even when describing his feelings on the fine in relation to what was actually said, Scump had trepidation to vocalize what went down. HECZ reassured his player that he wouldn\u2019t need to pay anything if something more were to materialize, but the damage from the first penalty was already done. \u201cWe constantly [create content around MW] and sometimes it\u2019s gonna, you know, lead back to an opinion about Call of Duty which is what we play everyday,\u201d Scump explained. \u201cAnd\u2026 well, I\u2019m not gonna get [fined so] I\u2019m stopping.\u201d The 24-year-old would be well equipped to handle a fine, but even a hypothetical $500 tax on his opinions isn\u2019t something he wants hanging on his head. The stringent nature of the league and how they handle opinions by those made in it is something Scump and HECZ can see changing in the future. But until then, the Huntsman star isn\u2019t going to make a habit of toeing the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
