Scump further elaborated that he wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility of returning to the competitive Call of Duty scene.

“I can never say never because I don’t know what the future entails. But Call of Duty, I mean… it’s a very slim chance. They’d have to come out with one of the best games ever for me to peak that interest again and make me want to get back into that grinding mentality.”

Optic Scump explained how the Call of Duty franchise would have to put out one of their best games ever for him to develop an interest in the game. Finally, he explained that he doesn’t necessarily want to say that he will never return. He said that there is a slight chance that he might return. However, he also said that the answer to the question of his return is going to be ‘no’ more times than ‘yes’.

“So I never wanna say never. But… I guess there’s a chance. There’s a slight chance. But I would say more times than not, no.”
