After the FPS game removed Nickmercs’ bundle, TimTheTatman has come forward to take a stand. The two content creators had gone to Call of Duty as operators together, and it felt wrong for him to stay in the game while his friend lost his bundle. To show support for his friend, he tweeted, “It feels wrong for me to have mine and him no longer have his. In support of my friend, please remove the TimTheTatman bundle”.

This whole incident started when Nickmercs made some controversial comments about the LGBTQ+ community. In response to his tweet, Activision decided to take some strict actions. They also informed the fans of the FPS game that the Nickmercs bundle will no longer be available. Along with this tweet, they said, “We are focused on celebrating PRIDE with our employees and our community”.
