The best-selling shooting game Call of Duty Modern Warfare now includes a message splashed on its loading screen with “Black Lives Matter” written in large, bold print.
Call of Duty New Loading Screen – “Black Lives Matters”
“Our community is hurting,” the statement, first spotted by The Verge, reads. “The systemic inequalities our community experiences are once again center stage.
