Big numbers are mild but refreshing, not often leaving one full of data however welcome as an effervescent sensation flowing over the lobes. Here’s a brand new one so that you can take pleasure in for just a few seconds: 50,000, which is the variety of everlasting bans issued in Call Of Duty: Warzone for dishonest to this point. All large multiplayer games are in an limitless arms race with cheatmakers, and cheaters will preserve returning significantly to free-to-play games, however nonetheless: 50,000 cheatybans?
