Activision and Call of Duty are facing criticism from Dr. Disrespect over their recent promotional event that he believes promotes marijuana to young players. In a tweet, Dr. Disrespect expressed his concerns, pointing out elements like “Get High” levels, drug references, and pricey camos in the game’s recent event. He questioned why a company that reprimanded Nickmercs for promoting child safety would engage in promoting drug-related content to its young audience.

Dr. Disrespect highlighted an ongoing event and a specific game mode in Call of Duty that he feels are promoting drug use to kids. These features reward players for completing challenges, which he believes sends the wrong message to impressionable young gamers. He expressed his concerns about the inconsistency in Activision’s approach, especially given their previous actions against Nickmercs for advocating child safety.

The controversy stirred up by Dr. Disrespect’s tweet has garnered significant attention, with thousands of people supporting his stance. Many are also backing Nickmercs, who faced consequences for expressing concerns about the indoctrination of children in schools. The debate raises important questions about the responsibility of game developers and publishers in shaping the content they deliver to their diverse player base.

Activision pushing water bongs, marijuana, ‘Get High’ levels, drugs, and $100 camos on gamers…

…but they remove Nickmercs skin for him saying ‘leave the kids alone’.

Activision is ran by a bunch of idiots.

Biggest suit and tie phonies in the industry.
