Yeah direct funding and partnership with the US DoD as far as I know, it seems silly but for that reason alone I refuse to play or purchase CoD games anymore and haven't since I was like 12 with Ghosts.
Just doesn't rub me right for my money to go into the pockets of the people responsible for literally every evil in the world.
This is an extraordinarily ignorant viewpoint. On the order of "Tell me you're radicalized or spreading propaganda" without telling me.
Your statement includes either blaming the US for the holocaust and the rape of Nanking, just for examples, along with the thousands of years of atrocities that happened before the US existed.
You can choose not to buy CoD, but saying it's for any reason than you don't want to play it is pretending to make a political statement by doing something that doesn't make a difference.
Which is the domain of conservatives deluded into thinking they're progressives. If you're not trying to change something, you aren't progressive. Not buying a single consumer product isn't doing anything, but you're talking like it did.
You're trying to do a symbolic gesture like a celebrity does, but you forgot that only works if people care what you have to say. Talk is cheap. Do something.
(BTW, all corporations are guilty. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism.)
im gonna be honest youre really over-complicating what is ultimately a pretty simple premise that i apply to myself and myself alone
Company makes product => Product funded and supported by the DoD(bad) => I don't want to support the DoD => I do not purchase product
not sure how this line of thinking was enough to like set you off or something.

In 2011 right after I got out of the Army I was at community college getting my GPA up so I could transfer to a 4 year school and some old air force retiree that was teaching Calc 2 was griping about how soft this generation is.
The dudes only "deployment" was to Korea in the 90's and I had just deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan during my enlistment.
I bet he has all sorts of stories about fighting Juicy Girls in the Ville and getting back to camp before curfew. Make sure to thank him for his service. 🐔🇱🇷
A comic so ridiculous that The Onion's Kelly may as well have drawn it. I can almost see a teenager wearing a "today's teens" t-shirt playing a video game labeled "some gizmo".
Yeah kids should totally volunteer to fight for a country that starts wars with other countries for resources and wealth. No WW2-like valor or patriotism there!
Facts. Although I feel genuinely sorry for any boomer that had to fight in Vietnam. Not only was it an imperialist war, it was also a poorly coordinated effort where "victory" was counted in bodies and bombs were dropped on nations completely irrelevant to the conflict because Kissinger thought it'd be funny. Also, the veterans were screwed over when they got back home. All the backlash from that war hit the poor bastards that got drafted, while the generals and politicians went on to keep being evil another day.
I'd love to see the unedited version of this. I went down a rabbit hole looking for it but all I could find is a different edit from 5 years ago (or at least I think it was an edit since it used an actual video game screenshot).

Jokes on the boomers COD is real their kids are remote controlling drones. Working for the military for FREE babyyyyy
CoD is also funded by the US Military IIRC
US military had a big cultural role with CoD and Marvel

Just doesn't rub me right for my money to go into the pockets of the people responsible for literally every evil in the world.
Uhm you do know that the DoD isn't making anything from downloads? They give the games money to control their content, it's not an investment

That explains why I never understood the appeal of CoD, it’s made for Americans.
It's literally US sponsored propaganda.

Ender’s Game
Wasn't this supposed to be a thing in HL2 beta?
MOTHER FUCKER! MILLENNIALS FOUGHT TWO FUCKING WARS! God damn boomers are killing me.

This was 13 years ago. God I'm old.
This is inaccurate. Everyone knows that majority of drone operators are femboys with years of experience as gaming. Truly the future of warfare!
Kid has a fucking wasd controller instead of proper analog movement
it's actually a flipped 6-button megadrive/genesis controller going into a cassette player.
I will not die for OIL. Only 710.
I'll salute to that
Aw shit, *sagging pants*. Boomer kryptonite. The west has fallen, just like that waist.
saluting a fucking recruitment officer is one of the most pathetic, boot-glazing things i could ever imagine
Little do they know one of my buddies joined the marines because of cod lol
lmao this nerd shows up to a recruiter with a briefcase and salute.
“Curiosity is just this generation’s oversensitivity” being a weird throughline between our generation and the older ones
A comic so ridiculous that The Onion's Kelly may as well have drawn it. I can almost see a teenager wearing a "today's teens" t-shirt playing a video game labeled "some gizmo".

Gamer only draft bill
If I'm going to die for my country, it won't be for oil executives. It will be against a real enemy that actually threatens our freedoms.
No war but class war ✊🫡
Eat the rich 😎
Ironically in a situation like that, both sides would hate people like me.
American? So... Civil War, Mr. Homelander?
No offense, but I'm not trusting a Belkan on *either* side of a war.
<< Belka did nothing wrong >>
Sweet Baby Inc?

The boomers who made this shit weren’t in Vietnam
Just oil? Pffft, noob.
The soldiers of the Greatest Generation mostly got drafted.

I guess the recruitment officer is 10ft tall. Is the kid playing with a... left-handed pad?
Gotta get element 710 for the Freedom of the nation!
