为了支持#BlackLivesMatter运动,动视选择推迟《使命召唤:手机》第七季的开播。
正如通过Twitter宣布的那样(见下文),《使命召唤:手机》,《现代战争》和《战区》三季的开播日期都被推迟了,因为“是时候让那些为平等,正义和变革大声疾呼的人被看到和听到了。”
“虽然我们都期待着玩新一季的现代战争,战区和使命召唤:移动,现在不是时候,”动视说。

A show of support
Activision is not the first games company to voice its support for #BlackLivesMatter. Many companies have openly backed the campaign, such as Warner Bros and Marvel Entertainment. As have numerous influencers and streamers, all of which have called for equality, and some have said: "to be silent is to be complicit."
On top of this, pro-streamer Ninja has implored people to not be blinded by riots and looters but to remember what this is all truly about – "Police brutality, racism, and the murder of George Floyd."
Furthermore, Call of Duty is not the first game's product to see a push back. Electronic Arts have postponed its official announcement of Madden 21, and Sony has delayed its PS5 reveal event that was scheduled for June 4th.
If you are looking for ways to support the movement and those affected, you can donate to the Black Lives Matter movement here. There's also a collection of resources, petitions, and other places to donate collated here.
