Dear comrades, fellow soldiers,

I have been playing COD Mobile since its launch. I’ve fought over 10,000 battles, more than 5,000 in BR and 5,000 in MP. I reached Legendary rank 15 times in BR and 7 times in MP.

Over five years, I spent more than ₹15 lakh (about $16.5K) on the game. I collected 9 mythic weapons, 51 legendary weapons, and countless other weapon skins, including two prestige weapons. I also own 1 mythic character, 10 legendary characters, 500+ rare characters, legendary vehicles, and more.

I was 25 and unmarried when the game first launched. Now I am nearing 32.

I was doing a high-paying consultancy job until I lost my son. After that, everything went downhill. I carry so many memories. So many nights playing with complete strangers who felt like brothers. Some went offline and never came back.

I bought every battle pass until August 2024. Then I had to stop playing because of work.

Even though I survived countless battles in CODM, life’s zone now feels like it’s closing in. My startup is struggling. Money is tight. Still, I never tried to sell my account because it is precious. Only a fellow gamer can understand that.

My wife and parents always told me to stop playing. I kept fighting and playing, but in the end, I lost to life. I am getting old. No more rushing. I don’t know how long I can survive in this zone.

All I want to say is thank you.

We never knew our fellow players’ real names or their stories. We just played like there was no tomorrow.

Keep fighting.
