Jeffrey Epstein files show Call of Duty mention
According to a recent report by GameSpot, the new Epstein files documents have revealed that Jeffrey Epstein wanted to buy a stake in the Call of Duty game.
According to the emails mentioned in the Epstein files, Epstein and Activision Blizzard’s former CEO, Bobby Kotick, allegedly had a relationship. It also stated that Epstein was trying to forge a closer bond with Kotick to get an entry into the gaming sector.
In the messages exchanged between the two, Epstein can be seen trying to set up meetings with Kotick, who also invites him for drinks in a text. Replying to this invite, Epstein wrote, “Great… see you then i will bring 3or 4 . also I understand that Brian Grazer, like me, searches for smart, interesting people, do you know him?”
The emails also suggest that Epstein and Kotick discussed edutainment games that teach people. In an alleged email, Epstein wrote, “Video games are already great at teaching. If they don’t assess your level and put an appropriate challenge right in front of you, the game fails. So we have to use computers to replace teachers–or at least augment them. The best scheme I’ve come up with so far is to use X-Prize or something like it to co-opt the existing video game industry. Give out a prize to the game that comes up with the best way of teaching kids anything from a normal school curriculum.”
In an email from the files, Richard Kahn tells Epstein, “I think we should buy some Activision. This is from t-e analyst who gave us the polish gaming stock. The Call of Duty release is e=pected to be in late. October, Sounds like they have successfully integrated=the battie royale (ala Fortnite) format into the latest CoD game.”
