    Really bad timing making such a joke Respawn Entertainment.



    I get the joke but this was in really poor taste after recent events.

    It's never going to be not in bad taste when these recent events become common events.

    Are there ever "recent events" that would make it better ? Its just a joke, no point looking for more meaning.

    I don't see it being in bad taste....there's a shooting everyday somewhere. Just because you happen to know about yesterdays doesn't make this in bad taste. The joke or really in this case the pun, is as good as it would be on any other day and is for all intents and purposes amibiguous at worst

    Actually, as of yesterday, it's every 2.3 days, so potentially 3 times on a bad week I saw one news outlet quoting every 60 hours

    When would it ever be good timing exactly? I mean there was 427 mass shootings last year. 477 in 2016. This year we have had 41 so far. This one was just had a large number killed. They don't report the majority of them in national news.

    It's just stupid and unfunny, not offensive.

    How about not a day after a mass shooting?

    Really tasteless tweet, clearly they realized it seeing how they removed it fast. It was a really dumb move.

    I don’t see why a mass shooting should matter, people die every day some where on the planet can people never make jokes just because people die?

    There's a mass shooting almost once a month in America, sadly, so jokes like this will never not be in poor taste.

    Just because this recent one in Florida got more media attention doesn't make it any worse or more tragic than the ones we don't hear about.

    Ahh it’s a video game company joking about how it’s employees play fps and playing on its namesake. Probably was written up weeks before and sent out automatically without any forethought.
    Meh I seen worse poor choice of words about this latest shooting on dota already

    Problem "recent events" is always "recent events".

    Why should they care? Not like half the the country gives a damn about mitigating these events. Just another day.

    In their defense they are giving people an outlet instead of the bullshit the NRA puts out.
