It seems like nothing is going right for the Call of Duty makers these days. As if the backlash from fans regarding the ongoing issues over their latest titles wasn’t enough, they recently invited yet another trouble for themselves.
The month of May saw the arrival of celebrated musical contest Eurovision. Its 67th edition was held a week ago in the United Kingdom and saw the most outstanding performances by talented artists from 37 participating countries. Given the significance of the event, Call of Duty’s official account also decided to join the fun with a musical tweet. However, it didn’t go down well with some fans.

Sometimes certain tweets can land you in unwanted situations. That’s exactly what happened with Call of Duty’s one of the official accounts on Twitter. The devs handling the UK account of the franchise couldn’t resist their love for music when the Eurovision contest was going on a few days ago. So they posted a tweet showing the iconic character of Ghost playing a guitar, with the caption reading “Anyway, here’s Wonderwall”.

Some of the fans were annoyed by the fact that instead of focusing more on improving their latest games, the makers were instead taking out time to tweet on Eurovision. According to them, they should have worked on fixing the glitches and issues regarding cheating rather than sharing a picture of Ghost sitting down with a musical instrument. “this tweet caused me severe pain”, wrote one user.

It looks like the makers will need to be highly careful going forward. It’s also because the current circumstances are not in their favor, at all. Not to mention that they will have to put strong efforts to impress the loyal fans of the Call of Duty community.
