I was playing Call of Duty and every single loading screen had black lives matter crap everywhere. They also delayed an update they were going to release because of the BLM shit. So sick of this shit. When this stuff used to happen I would just stop using a service or buying a product but now it’s being forced down our throats by literally everyone.
None of the games my husband and I play did that to us.
I hate to say this, because as a gamer I know that everyone has different tastes and such, but at least in gaming it is avoidable; you just have to be willing to drop AAA titles like CoD and Fortnite. Again, I'm very sorry (I actually am, I wish they'd just let all of us play video games like we wanted), but try out games from other parts of the world and lesser known developers, or hell even older games that still hold up.
Escape from Tarkov is Russian so they don't care about any of this. A lot of the old Star Wars games still have ongoing communities. Any Japanese game is pretty damn safe, like Phantasy Star Online 2. Or hell, just stick to the slightly smaller AA studios: games like Risk of Rain don't have the development resources to do that kind of crazy shit at the drop of a hat.
But just so you know, if it doesn't hurt the player numbers for CoD that they did this, then they will do it again.
This is why individual boycotts are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. The companies know that they still be making money, and lots of it. They do not care if a handful of people cancel services or not buy their product.

Vote with your wallet. My life has become much simpler and easier as I cut unwanted brands out of my life.
