Seriously. You care so much about Activision, one of the most anti-consumer companies out there?

My game (which I am playing THROUGH STEAM) literally WILL NOT WORK and will crash to desktop without any error messages unless I edit the game files. This means I cannot run this mod because the developer has arbitrarily decided that I am evil.

Because the engine mod in AAE only works in specific versions and environments, and I want AAE to be either 100% compatible or completely incompatible

Activision only published the game, it was Treyarch who made it. I hate this misconception, because Activision don't actually make the games. They just publish them. Development is done by Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch.

If you have a source saying that the developers make money off sales, I would like to take a look at it. My point of view is not based off a misconception.

Developers make a salary by making the game (as well as the content demanded by Activision, such as Gobblegums and Codtoons cartoon skins), and Activision makes money by selling them. Developers are not harmed unless the game fails so much that Activision decides to shut down a company or fire a bunch of devs. Unless Activision has a policy to allow that (I looked it up and couldn't find anything), no developer is going to benefit from the sales of a game as old as BO3.

I am playing the game through Steam through totally legitimate means, but because Activision is so anti-consumer, the game refuses to run on my system. No errors, no logs provided by the game, no solutions. I currently have an RX 9070 XT, and I had the exact same problem when I tried playing BO6 when I had an RTX3060Ti (which is now fixed with my current GPU). It is very likely a DRM problem because the game runs just fine if I edit the game to disable one type of DRM that is found on the Steam version but not on the Microsoft Store version.

You can probably imagine my frustration when the developer of arguably the best mod out there goes out of their way to make sure that I cannot use their mod, especially when the game only lets you use one mod at a time, so I cannot combine other mods to experience something similar.

I can avoid 90% of the issues caused by game version problems by only allowing specific versions to load AAE, which makes me very happy because I don't have to worry about solving those very difficult-to-fix issues
