CoD bows to China, censors trailer

Head to http://expressvpn.com/INSIDE and you can get an extra 3 months FREE! The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War trailer has been pulled down and replaced with an alternate version in what seems like an act of self-censorship to appease China’s governing authority. The trailer in question had a brief clip of the Tiananmen Square protests and as a result, was banned in China by Chinese authorities. Every official version of the trailer online, including the US version, was replaced with a new version sans the Chinese protest footage. This is the second time Activision has kowtowed to China in such a large public manner and it probably won’t be the last.
