Every time there is a shooting in the United States, instead of addressing the root problem, they prefer to settle scores with video games and on this occasion Call of Duty is the affected one. It just so happens that Robb Elementary School in Uvalde is suing Activision in California civil court because their games are “mass shooter training camp”.
This lawsuit says that Call of Duty is “a lucrative business that trains teenagers to become gunfighters”. There is even a phrase that says that the video game chews up young people and then turns them into mass shooters.
To this they add that they expose shooters to weapons as if these were the solution to the problems and “they train them to use them”. This is assuming that holding a controller would be the same as holding an assault submachine gun or something similar.
The lawsuit also cites that the video game has already become too real and that it is a simulation that allows the operator to reproduce or represent to you under test conditions the phenomenon that occurs when it is carried out. In other words, by looking so real and the scenarios extremely detailed, the person is supposedly exposed.
Because of this, the lawsuit indicates that there will be users, including minors, who try to recreate in real life the situations they see in video games.

They point to Call of Duty as a kind of weapons showcase
The aforementioned lawsuit does not stop there. Notes that Call of Duty It is a kind of showcase of realistic weapons that everyone can see. It must be remembered that Activision pays certain manufacturers to be able to place their equipment in the game and it is something it has done for a long time.
The same lawsuit brings up other events of mass shootings such as Sandy Hook or Parkland where the culprits were between 18 and 21 years old and were consumers of the Activision video game.
Now, let us also not forget that this is a local problem, since in other markets where Call of Duty It sells just as well, it’s not the same as the United States, which is a place where arms sales can even be sold in supers.
There are even studies that indicate that video games cannot be related to these unfortunate events that happen specifically in the United States.
We’ll see how this lawsuit against Activision and its game ends Call of Duty. What do you think of this situation? Follow the conversation through our Discord and don’t miss our news at Google news.
