Activision is donating $1 million and is also launching an in-game pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone players to purchase to support fire relief efforts in Los Angeles. 100% of Santa Monica-based Activision’s proceeds from the LA Fire Relief pack sales will be donated to relief efforts in Los Angeles, and the donations will be split between two charities - the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation (LAFD) and Direct Relief.
These donation efforts from Activision are to help support fire relief efforts, also giving the Call of Duty community an opportunity to get involved with helping those affected by the Los Angeles fires. Players can purchase the LA Fire Relief pack across all platforms, which offers a robust amount of new game content for players to enjoy, while also directly supporting the cause.

We have two vastly different opinions, I'm afraid, and I believe they are totally incompatible. Best we just agree to disagree.

Unless you're omnipotently omnipresent, neither you nor him know what anyone here has done in support of the people in California who lived this disaster.
And what part do you not understand about multi billion dollar corporations, who barely pay any taxes in the first place, giving what amounts to lip service in the form of ridiculously small donations when compared to their staggeringly immense wealth.

It's a shame that Laughing Man couldn't formulate his post better because the sentiment of his comment was very, very valid. Just to add context: Laughing Man pointed out how we are very quick to judge these donations while, in the majority of cases, we did nothing to help. Unfortunately, the post was a bit too emotional and added a personal attack, thus breaking the rules.
