'Call of Duty' adds a new message to video game: 'Black Lives Matter'
The next time you load up the latest "Call of Duty" video game, you will likely notice a new message from its developers: Black Lives Matter. Infinity Ward, the development studio that makes "Call of Duty," added a message on screen that appears right before the game starts condemning racism and social injustice. "Our community is hurting," reads a portion the message. "The systemic inequalities our community experiences are once again center stage. Call of Duty and Infinity Ward stand for equality and inclusion. We stand against the racism and injustice our Black community endures. Until change happens and Black Lives Matter, we will never truly be the community we strive to be." "Call of Duty," published by Activision, is the latest example of companies and brands using their platforms to speak out on social issues.
