《使命召唤：现代战争4》开发商动视因在新游戏开场动画中使用2022年首尔梨泰院踩踏事故的真实新闻素材，遭到遇难者家属及民间团体的联合谴责与移除要求 1。此次争议发生之际，正值该起导致158人死亡、另有2人因创伤后遗症被认定为受害者的悲剧四周年前夕 1。此外，该游戏发布数日内即登上韩国主要PC游戏平台Steam的销售榜首 1。
针对公众的批评，动视通过韩联社回应称，游戏中引用的真实新闻画面仅作为传达作品中虚构故事——即描绘朝鲜入侵场景——的元素使用 1。公司补充道：“我们绝对没有提及或轻慢任何实际悲惨事件（包括梨泰院悲剧）的意图” 1。
对此，遇难者家属委员会和公民团体在联合声明中表达了震惊，指出“对混乱绝望的场景……被原样用来制作游戏中的场景感到震惊” 1。此前，有保守派政治家曾敦促总统李在明玩游戏以了解他们所称的来自平壤的威胁 1。
Relatives of victims and civic groups have demanded that Activision remove authentic news footage from the 2022 Seoul Itaewon crowd crush used in its new video game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. 1 The controversial clips appear in the game’s opening cinematic, where they are employed to depict a fictional scenario involving an invasion by North Korea. 1 In a joint statement, the bereaved families committee and civil society organizations expressed shock that "scenes of chaos and despair" were utilized verbatim for in-game content. 1
Activision responded to the backlash through a statement to Yonhap News Agency, explaining that certain real-world news images included in the opening cutscene were intended solely as elements to convey the work's fictional narrative. 1 The publisher emphasized that there was absolutely no intention to reference or trivialize any actual tragic events, including the Itaewon disaster. 1 This dispute has emerged just before the fourth anniversary of the incident, which resulted in the deaths of 158 people in a narrow alley of Seoul’s nightlife district during Halloween weekend, with two additional individuals later recognized as victims due to trauma-related conditions. 1 Meanwhile, the game rapidly ascended to the top spot on South Korea’s leading PC gaming platform, Steam, within days of its release. 1 Prior to this controversy, conservative politicians had urged President Lee Jae-myung to play the title to understand what they described as threats originating from Pyongyang. 1
