Josh Olin is the community manager for Call of Duty Black Ops. He is a self proclaimed Call of Duty gamer first and foremost and community manager second. With the game's giant successes there has been criticisms, especially for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game. The Community Manager recently sat down with Now Gamer to give his opinions on Call of Duty Black Ops now that the game has been released and active in the community for over a quarter of a year.

When asked what the biggest problem facing the games industry today, Olin had this to say:

"Personally, as a community manager who lives in the media or social media world every day, I think the social culture of video games is moving in a more negative direction as technology and social media continues to grow. Rather than growing with it, the trend seems to be devolving. More and more gamers seem to forget what this industry is all about."

"It’s a creative industry – the most creative form of entertainment in existence. 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."

he isn't even a real gamer, or else he would have helped fix the problems in BO

Alright, thanks JD_2020! I have totally changed my views and think Black Ops is a great game! You still have to fix the lag asshole.

Blame the gamers who buy your games .. yh
that guy is a prick and shouldn`t be working for Treyarch.

Well I don't go on a game and look for things to complain about.
When I play Cod4, I'm happy almost all the time.
When I play BC2, I'm happy all the time.
When I go on black ops, I get pissed off at BS deaths and stupid lag, 74u's then complain.

i wonder if jd2020 even has a PS3/PC account for BO. I'm ok with all of this when all consoles have equal treatment. Making a beta for pc and PS3 and saying "all the problems only occur for one person" shows how stupid the company is. Look at MW2, how many things needed fixing? CP glitch and javelin glitch? anything else besides hacked lobbies? BO has a 1000 network problems and 1000 other problems. Why? because it was an unfinished game. Finish a game fully and then we will talk about creativity.

Treyarch have just been negative to PS3 users and PC players.
