In an older, arguably better era of Call of Duty, Mark Rubin was its face. For 10 years he was an executive producer at Infinity Ward, overseeing Call of Duty's meteoric rise in the years after the original Modern Warfare in 2007. He was one of the guys you'd reliably see in a dev log video or on an E3 stage with controller in hand, waxing poetic about Captain Price's latest exploits, before leaving the company in 2015.
Most recently, he was an executive producer on XDefiant, Ubisoft's attempt at a free-to-play CoD alternative that the publisher shut down last year. That's all to say, Rubin's been around the CoD block, and he's not thrilled by what the series has become since his departure.
