TheGamingRevolution has a pretty strong record when it comes to getting info about Call of Duty. His leaks about a Black Ops 3 Zombies DLC proved to be very accurate. But he has also made mistakes, as do we all. Now in a twitter thread, he talks about the Jason Blundell firing rumors that he had a pivotal role in spreading.
Jason Blundell is a senior executive at Treyarch. Recently, several sources, including TheGamingRevolution had said that he had been fired because he was drunk and leaked rumors.
This was fueled by the fact that Blundell wasn’t in the recent streams and his name had been removed from the website.
Then, Treyarch stepped in. Normally, Treyarch takes a backseat and let realities confirm or deny rumors. However, this time they felt it was necessary to quash the rumors.
TheGamingRevolution deleted the thread and was suspiciously quiet about it.
Until today.
He wrote a full thread explaining the reason behind the rumor, how he normally gets his news and why he couldn’t have avoided this.
He started the thread with a screenshot of a reddit post which said that he has no Intel at all. He explained what had caused the error in his judgement.
Loads of people at Treyarch still believe Blundell is missing. He is out of studio. I don’t know what is going on but this is what lead to the rumours. People in studio started speculating about his departure, then that slowly trickled out to the public. pic.twitter.com/qeCEKKpSEs

Then he continued by admitting that he had been at fault.
He’s been removed from Treyarch’s website & hasn’t appeared in all of the recent streams.
I have no idea as to what is going on, but that is where these rumours stemmed from. People jumping to conclusions. It was mine and other people’s sources that made these mistakes & we were

inclined to believe them.
It still makes no sense to me, but some sort of shift is happening for sure.

Then he says that given the circumstances, there wasn’t much else that he could do. But he had honestly apologized.
You know, I’ve tried thinking about how this situation could’ve been avoided. In all honesty, it really couldn’t have.
I apologised right after Treyarch’s statement, but there was not much I could’ve done to preempt this prior. Everyone believed he was gone & I felt inclined to— TheGamingRevolution (@TheGamingRevoYT) August 8, 2019
He ended the thread with this.
there anyways. I should’ve just stayed quiet and not said a word. Even though it was already spreading fast, I definitely played a big role in further perpetuating the rumour. I 100% believed it at the time though, so again, I don’t know how this situation could’ve been avoided

other than not saying a word, but that was been hard to do when everyone was asking me about what the hell was going on.

So there you have it, folks. Do you think TheGamingRevolution is just trying to cover his bases? Or is it sincere? We do think it’s sincere but you never know. Stay tuned for more developments.
