Activision removes Nickmercs Call of Duty skin from game following anti-LGBT tweet

Nickmercs skin in Call of Duty: Warzone

Activision has removed FaZe Clan co-founder Nickmercs' Call of Duty skin from the in-game store following the backlash from comments the streamer made on social media. 

The skin, which was available in both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone, has now been removed with immediate effect. It comes after Nickermercs tweeted a response to an attack happening at a pro-LGBT schoolboard meeting which quickly turned to violence. The meeting in question was being held to recognize June as Pride Month at the school.
