Like previous titles, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is based on reality. But the appearance of a hotel in the shooter could now lead to a lawsuit.

- A hotel modeled after a real hotel is featured in Call of Duty.
- The hotel “Conservatorium” does not agree with this appearance in the shooter.
- Now Activision Blizzard could face a lawsuit.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare is a new game that has recently been released and could already prompt a potential lawsuit against Activision Blizzard.
As PC Gamer reports, a hotel can be found in the shooter that appears under the name “Breenbergh”, but apparently represents the Conservatory in Amsterdam. In the video you can see the said hotel.
So there could be a lawsuit
Roy Tomassen, the hotel’s manager, doesn’t think this unintentional appearance is particularly great, since the hotel doesn’t want to support games that glorify violence. After all, this is not compatible with the core values of the Conservatory.
It is currently not known whether there will really be a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, but apparently there should at least be considerations regarding legal action.
Legal action is also taken when Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard. A competition regulator has already decided whether the Xbox company should buy Activision Blizzard.
