Lesson number four: Don’t forget. If you post a video of a glitch, you’re a total douche.
"I thank all of you who sent in polite, constructive messages without the hysterics. So here is my one and only public statement about it.
"I'm not going to talk about it publicly. We are disinterested in making mini-celebrities out of douche-bags. You better think twice before you glitch. You never know who in your game doesn't like glitchers who reports you and saves the game in their File Share and tells us about it.
"Our forum admins and VIPs along with JD_2020 (Community Manager) will be managing the communication directly."
We hope you paid attention. We used to think that game glitch videos were kind of funny. But now we know that they are no laughing matter. We’re also kind of scared of Treyarch’s David Vonderhaar. Playtime is over. Glitch abusers beware.
