A lot of jimmies were rustled in the gaming community recently when a popular cod streamer got his stuff taken off the store for anti-lgbt comment he made. Then other cod streamers are now showing solidarity and are uninstalling cod. I don't play cod personally, but these people have pretty massive followings in the millions. Plus I imagine the overwhelming majority of cod's playerbase is male that probably leans right and cod is one of the if not the biggest franchise in activision's portfolio.
Activision's stock price probably isn't going to move much anytime soon due to the microsoft acquisition overhang, but wondering if this will introduce a headwind in the future for future cod release titles.
