Controversial Comments Lead to Removal of Streamers' Skins in Call of Duty.
TL;DR Summary
Activision has removed TimTheTatman's operator bundle from Call of Duty in support of his friend Nickmercs, whose skin was pulled last week after he made homophobic comments. Another streamer, Dr Disrespect, also uninstalled Call of Duty during a recent stream to show solidarity with Nickmercs. Activision might forgo making skins based on real people in the future, as the Blizzard side of the company has learned several times before.
