clean sheet
More trouble for Activision, but this time from a completely different direction.
Muslim gamers were stunned to discover blood-stained Koran pages scattered on the floor of one of the zombie mode stages of the new Voice of Duty, Vanguard, and needless to say they did not like it.
The scathing criticism was not long in coming, and Activision was quick to remove the problematic graphic content from the game, with the addition of a long apology posted on the official Twitter account of the Voice of Duty in Arabic:
If you are looking for a file from the web site in the zombie series, you can see if you have a #Mang #WuDDownload.

"Voice of Duty is a game for everyone," the statement said.
"We have removed from it certain content that harmed the Muslim community, content that should not have been there in the first place. We apologize from the bottom of our hearts and take immediate measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future."
Exit Delay 1
No chips, no consoles.
Sony had hoped to produce 16 million PlayStation 5 devices between April 2021 and March 2022, but the global shortage of electronic components due to the Corona plague, as well as logistics, transportation and distribution issues, forced the company to reduce its production forecast by one million units, and now targets 15 million devices .
Also, experts estimate that Sony's forecast to sell 22.6 million PlayStation 5 consoles between April 2022 and March 2023 will not materialize.
Nintendo, by the way, was also forced earlier this month to reduce its annual Switch Console sales forecast by 1.5 million units, from 25.5 million to 24 million.
Exit delay 2
The Steam Deck, Valve's portable gaming console, will no longer be out this year.
Similar to Sony and Nintendo, Valve also announced that due to the lack of electronic components, the launch date of the device in question has been postponed to February 2022.
The console, announced in July this year, is very reminiscent in its appearance of a Nintendo Switch, but runs computer games downloaded from Steam, hence its name.
It is offered for pre-order (open to Steam account holders only) in three versions, the differences between which are the hard disk space (64GB, 256GB and 512GB) d and the accessories that come with the more expensive versions, which cost 400, 529 and -694 dollars respectively.
Exit delay 3
Not only is the Steam Deck delayed and missing its scheduled launch date.
The Playdate, another portable and very intriguing portable console, will not hit the shelves this year and will only be released in 2022.
when exactly?
Panic, the console's developer, did not specify a date, but explained that the delay was due to a "critical" problem that was discovered in the device's battery, and now it is replacing all existing batteries with improved batteries from another supplier.
The Apple Games
About a week after Netflix games were launched on Android devices, they are finally coming to Apple's iOS system as well, so iPhone owners can relax.
Also, the last time we checked, Netflix's gaming offering expanded to six titles: The Bowling Ballers game joined the five launch games, and it was reported that Hextech Mayhem, a light-hearted arcade spin-off for League of Legends, which will hit PC and Switch on November 16, will hit the mobile platform Netflix at a later date.
