ESPN, which had been planning to air an Apex Legends tournament as part of the X Games, decided to delay the program until after the X Games tie-in.
Meanwhile, Walmart, which had been the site of the El Paso shooting, decided to remove advertising for “violent video games” — despite, absurdly, continuing to sell the guns used in the shootings.
The latter illustrates the core issue facing the video game industry: It’s too cowardly to actually speak the truth about why it’s being targeted, thus Walmart (and ESPN, or its corporate parents Disney/ABC) felt like they would face absolutely zero consequences for scapegoating games.
The video game industry will continue to fail in the political arena as long as it is terrified to say the truth that it is deliberately being targeted by Republican politicians as a distraction for their failed gun policies and complicity in hate crimes.
Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this whole story is how detached it is from reality.
There’s no evidence that violent media causes violent actions, let alone in games specifically.
Some of the biggest corporations in the United States are scaling back their display of violent games in the wake of recent mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
As reported by Vice, employees at Walmart stores are reporting receipt of a notice to "remove signing and displays referencing violence."
These directions include turning off "any video game display consoles that show a demo of violent games" and "remov[ing] any [signs] referencing combat or third-person shooter video games."
Employees are also instructed to "cancel any events promoting combat style or third-person shooter games that may be scheduled in Electronics."
The memo also says "movies displaying violence" and "hunting season videos" should not be displayed in stores for the time being.
At ESPN, the taped broadcast of an Apex Legends tournament planned for this weekend has been postponed.

Call of Duty: Warzone released on 10 March 2020 with only a single mode of playing, which is the squad mode battle royale.
They also constrained players to play a three-person squad match.
For those who prefer to play solo matches, it’s a lovely surprise for them because the update came so early.
The competition between battle royale games are getting so strong; therefore, Call of Duty: Warzone took time to release.
To compete with games like Apex Legends, PUBG, and Fortnite they have experimented on squad and solo for months to provide a better experience while playing.Both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare got some updates, but players are most likely to look into Call of Duty: Warzone because of its new solo mode.
So while playing squad mode, just keep it in mind that you can purchase armor and can do self revive by kits, and also gulag is one another way to get back in the field.Unlike games like “Apex Legends” and “Fortnite”, Call of Duty: Warzone gives their players another chance to fight in the field through “Gulag.” Although in the solo mode, you might don’t get back in the field after you died because there is no one to save you.
