Never seen so many people upset that diehard fans of a franchise got something for free for once
This was not given to media or influencers, just fans who were lucky enough to get a spot at the show

Video is now private but thats an incredible slip-up 😭
Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 icons on the PlayStation Store for PS4/PS5
Looks like it's just a port -- not remaster, since there's no new names or changes
