Why? Time has no prestige to it. They pandered to the audience by calling "you" the "person of the year". They're as ridiculously bought and sold in and out like every other mass media entity.
How this could possibly bother someone is beyond me. Oh wait it's COD...no wonder. Keyboard warriors...continue your miserable existence.
Of course, it can't possibly have anything to do with the fact that Time used to be a really great magazine and is now becoming this disgusting mainstream shell of it's former self, and this is just one example of a magazine that used to be AAA now selling out to the lowest common denominator for readership. Or it couldn't also have anything to do with the fact that some people value print media and this just fits with the overall narrative of print media becoming more and more desperate to maintain any relevancy despite their once-great past.
No, it must all be because we hate Call of Duty. There couldn't possibly be any serious objections here. Sure.
i rather like the poster. i have that hanging on my wall VS the standard MW3 cover. side note. why is this news now? i mean i got the post like a month ago. did it take Time this long to comment or are people now just figuring out it was a pre-order bonus?
Enough real people are dying in conflicts around the world as it is, without the need to make a fake cover of Time Magazine advertising global conflicts.
If the game is set in 2030 it's a sixteen year jump from when Modern Warfare 2 ends? Weird. I'd love one of those covers but I don't have a GameStop nearby, nor do I have a pre-order. My thought is to just get a really nice, high-end scan and have that professionally printed or something.
I paid 2.50 deposit for this game to get the poster. I'm not even going to refund the deposit now I'm getting Skyrim instead, as I thought the poster was worth it!
