NICKMERCS faces backlash and consequences for controversial comments.

Activision has removed NICKMERCS' Call of Duty bundle from the in-game store following his controversial comments about Pride Month. The streamer's comments drew backlash on social media, and Activision has stated that they are focused on celebrating Pride with their employees and community. It is unclear if the removal of the bundle is temporary or permanent, and if existing owners of the bundle will be affected. This move by Activision is similar to the Overwatch League's decision to distance themselves from a player involved in controversy by changing a custom in-game skin.
