USA already got a sneakpeak of season 4 live, so that's nice

 

[shaddam]

Its very much like Pride. These companies posting jpeg's of rainbows etc is nothing more than the brand being seen as being inclusive and progressive, its another form of marketing. Personally if I were gay, I would be dubious of their intentions and sincerity. If there really is a Sega/Xbox announcement this week, they will no doubt of already had the conversations around how they will be perceived if everyone else cancels and they don't. Its wrong because its not happening for the right reasons.

Oh yes pride month. I wonder if they will change their saudi twitter page to rainbow. Funny they dont do that in those contries where being gay is dangerous

Exactly, so it's not even equal across the globe. Pride is supposed to be about equality. It really annoys me. Playstation probably cancelled the conference because they knew it wouldn't get the full exposure they wanted, and they dressed it up as a message of concern.

 

[M1chl]

Nothing say more about "we stand along you", when they delay it in Europe as well... I mean I have some more unneeded dislike for USA. It was wrong act, sure, but they are such a fragile country. Injustice killing happens, probably more often than not mainly outside of USA. Yet,...whatever. Through those 3 cops in jail for life and be fucking done with it.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Cringy corporate virtue signalling garbage.
At least I got tank top Mara in Season 3.

 

[TGO]

It's a fucking update, I ain't too fussed

But is getting stupid now

 

[Data Ghost]

You are right its just an update, to a game. Its very grand to make a statement about delaying Season 4 of a video game because of this. Especially when all it amount to is a new FMV intro, and a couple of new guns.

 

[TTOOLL]

Herd mentality at its finest.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Press F to loot

 

[odhin]

They want everyone to go out and protest, probably more rioting aswell..its getting scary.

 

[MoreJRPG]

Ah yes, Activision. So righteous, so moral.

What about Hong Kong protestors?

 

[Mista]

Ah yes, humanity. Only where it matters

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

8 kill streak = rioters enter the map to loot for you

 

[Mista]

They are with the cause yet they released their game. So I don’t see a valid excuse to delay or whatever

 

[The Hamburglar]

Off topic... what’s the demands of the protesters?
i cant see a list like the HK demands

Are you dense? It’s quite obvious what the protesters want.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Are you dense? It’s quite obvious what the protesters want.

So where can I check the demands?
Is a real question.

I support HK, they had a webpage well funded with all 5 demands (now 6)

Chile also had protest recently with well organized flyer.

For the USA I can only see “black life matters”, but that’s not a demand, law or something to be approved by the government.

For example:
Condemn the cops
Reform law number X
Release public all body cam from cops
...

 

[mitch1971]

Are microtransactions still available to buy?...Thought so....

 

[Codes 208]

Ah yes, Activision. So righteous, so moral.

What about Hong Kong protestors?

I would say its an out of sight, out of mind comparison. The only real reason this matters to them now is because its something happening right now out in their own backyard.

plus we already know activision/blizzard’s stance on HK

 

[samporter]

Are they really encouraging people go protest during a pandemic?

 

[Psykodad]

GODDAMNIT SONY!!!

 

[Codes 208]

Are they really encouraging people go protest during a pandemic?

Not from what Ive seen. That tweet regarding looters seems to be just an edited response by another upset fanboy.

 

[EverydayBeast]

"seaons" benefits FPS games going forward to this is a huge hit to the game.

Hopefully this puts Call of Duty in a good position for regarding human protests

 

[Pallas]

I wonder if this will affect the next season of CoD Mobile as well.

Until evolves into Super Covid-20, after all those crazy monkeys already stole vials of it. It’s their master plan, they are using the protests as a front.

Monkey steals COVID-19 blood samples from a lab technician in India

Video that went viral on social media showed the monkey thief in a tree

It explicitly does, unfortunately. I didn't fit it in the title but its in their post.

 

[ToadMan]

Did they delayed anything during the HK riots? Imagine people believes corporations care about us and not just abut money and good pr

The Hong Kong riots are still going on. June 4 is a big day commemorating the Tianenman Square Massacre which is banned from being discussed in China.

So anyway, in sense yeah this postponement is covering that too

the plot of the 12 monkeys movie is occuring.

 

[Burrito Bandito]

postponed a game update.

dude this os clown world territory wtf

im going to take an optimistic view on this and view this lunacy as the death throes if extreme liberalism.

combine this with governors assuming total authority over covid and the riots. these have all been massive redpills to many many people. i dont think they are ready for november

 

[Mossybrew]

Let's be real - they had to do this. A new season of Call of Duty is such a momentous event that it would have certainly drowned out all other voices and topics across social media and news outlets. Activision's forbearance and humility is truly something to behold in this time of crisis.

Especially Season 4. There have only been 3 other seasons for this particular CoD game in the past six months so I think "momentous" may actually be underselling it.

 

[Iorv3th]

Don't think they'd have them 3 weeks in advance. I heard they get the shipments the day before

You'd be surprised how early they get some games and they are just sitting in the backroom waiting for release day.

 

[The Scientist]

Virtue Signal Skin Unlocked (guitar riff).

No seriously, I can walk and chew gum. I can play games and support peaceful protesting of the seriously sad murder of George Floyd.

 

[Old Retro]

I bet they won't shut the servers down during this time though, hypocrites much?

Right?!? I don't see any official Activision groups amongsts the protesters in the news I've been watching. It would be refreshing if Infinity Ward said "We're too busy to milk you out of your money with our season passes cuz we're in the motherfuckin cut marching downtown!"

 

[leo-j]

Its an expression. From the old internet days when things weren't so gay.

You mean back then when everyone was homophobic, and calling gay people f words and sending them death threats was okay?
Cool.

 

[hemo memo]

“Call of Duty & Warzone Season 4 delayed worldwide due to USA protests.”

So it’s true
World=USA

They didn’t bother to delay anything or send a message when other worse world events happened. HK protests? Where were they?

 

[Insane Metal]

fuck this gay universe

I legit LOLed out loud.

 

[DeeDogg_]

Thank you based Call of Duty for guiding me on morals and ethics.

this is the funniest one yet

 

[DeeDogg_]

WTF I love Call Of Duty now!

Thanks anti Hong Kong Activision!

 

[Sub_Level]

Been a week. Still no communication on season 4's release. Feels bad man.

 

[Droxcy]

CoD and Fortnite are just using this time as an excuse to fix bugs they don’t care about people look Riot dropped Valorant and reeling in the $$$

 

[celsowmbr]

next step: Antifa's DLC

 

[VisualFidelity]

Thank you based Call of Duty for guiding me on morals and ethics.

We wont give you chapter 4 because now is not the time to be playing new Content, but in the meantime, our game is up and running online so you can keep enjoying our game. DaFuq
