Developers can?t stop data miners from digging into a game?s files to scrape out every bit of secret information, but Treyarch is handling the issue in a unique way with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Betas will often contain unused references that hint at features in the full game, so data miners were more than eager to dig into the recent Black Ops Cold War beta?s PC files to unearth whatever unannounced details they could find. But what they found there was an ?80s icon and classic internet troll; Data miners got Rick rolled.
