On the other hand, this, like many other actions and statements, “New Zealand shooter“, were a fairly transparent provocation.
However, from this one can easily understand desire. Infinity ward to distance oneself from undesirable associations, especially against the background of the studio’s desperate attempts to combat racism and intolerance, which it is making as part of its projects.
