Activision se defiende de la demanda en el caso del tiroteo en Uvalde

Activision refuta las afirmaciones que vinculan Call of Duty con la tragedia de Uvalde

Activision Blizzard ha presentado una sólida defensa contra las demandas presentadas por las familias de las víctimas del tiroteo de Uvalde, negando cualquier vínculo causal entre su franquicia Call of Duty y la tragedia de la escuela primaria Robb de 2022. Las demandas de mayo de 2024 alegan que la exposición del tirador al contenido violento de Call of Duty contribuyó a la masacre.

El devastador suceso se cobró la vida de 19 niños y dos maestros, hiriendo a 17 más. El tirador, un ex estudiante de Robb Elementary, era un conocido jugador de Call of Duty, había descargado Modern Warfare en noviembre de 2021 y usaba un rifle AR-15, similar al que se muestra en el juego. Los demandantes sostienen que Activision, junto con Meta (a través de publicidad en Instagram), fomentó un entorno que normalizó la violencia y convirtió a los jóvenes impresionables en armas.

La presentación de diciembre de Activision, que abarca 150 páginas, refuta ampliamente estas acusaciones. La compañía afirma la ausencia de cualquier conexión directa entre Call of Duty y la tragedia, invocando las leyes anti-SLAPP de California para proteger sus derechos de la Primera Enmienda. El editor defiende firmemente Call of Duty como forma de expresión protegida, argumentando que las afirmaciones basadas en su "contenido hiperrealista" infringen este derecho fundamental.

En apoyo de su defensa, Activision presentó declaraciones periciales. El profesor Matthew Thomas Payne de la Universidad de Notre Dame proporcionó una declaración de 35 páginas contextualizando Call of Duty dentro de la tradición establecida del entretenimiento de temática militar, rechazando la caracterización del juego por parte de los demandantes como un "campo de entrenamiento para tiradores masivos". Otra declaración de 38 páginas de Patrick Kelly, jefe creativo de Call of Duty, detalla el desarrollo del juego, incluido el importante presupuesto de 700 millones de dólares asignado a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Las familias Uvalde tienen hasta finales de febrero para responder a la extensa documentación de Activision. Este caso pone de relieve el complejo debate actual en torno a la relación entre los videojuegos violentos y la violencia en el mundo real, cuyo resultado final sigue siendo incierto.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
