Developers who try new things are being burned by "pundits" and "angry entitled fans", according to Treyarch, developer of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Black Ops community manager Josh Olin believes more and more gamers seem to forget what the industry is all about: creativity.

"It's a creative industry – the most creative form of entertainment in existence," Olin told Nowgamer. "Too many developers who try new things are getting burned by "pundits" and angry entitled fans who look to be contrarian, sometimes simply for the sake of being contrarian.

"The only thing this attitude aims to achieve is stunt that creativity and innovation even further, which is something that no rational gamer looking to be entertained would want to do."

The first map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops, First Strike, is out now exclusively on the Xbox 360.

Cake is a lie
Treyarch isn't getting burned by "entitled" fans that hate the game. They are getting "burned" by bitter people that are banned.

BO isn't all that bad. But it never had that wow factor like cod 4 or even mw2 had. Both of those games kept me entertained. BO is fun to play a few games and then turn my ps3 off. On mw2 and cod4 I could play for hours and hours. It just isn't very addicting.
