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”.
