Accusations of Russophobia

Hello colleagues. The article in Russian has a section with an authoritative source about the accusations from the news publication Russia Today in Russophobia against the developers. Can this information be relevant in an English article? Here is the source from the article in Russian: [1]. If this source is not suitable, then anyone can find this information in English. This accusation says that the game’s developer, Call of Duty, once again showed Russia evil, put it out as an enemy. But one of the developers made a statement that the game will be attended by both good and bad people in all the warring parties to the conflict. Bogolub (talk) 09:05, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Russia Today (RT) is considered a weak source on English Wikipedia. A better source should be provided first. Modern Warfare series has always been based around US/Russian tensions and has always featured good and bad characters on both sides. Not sure there's a point in including a RT nationalist piece. -- ferret (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The RT article makes sense. Can you describe having a game about killing Russian soldiers who are apparently not only irrational murderers but also pedophiles (given one of the other scenes the developers were considering) be described as anything other than Russophobia? And the references to the Syrian civil war, where the developers even have a plot of helping jihadist terrorist groups kill Russians? Especially given the current political climate, which wasn't really present at the time of the release of the previous games that involved US-Russian conflicts, using the whole "evil Russians" plot yet again. Hard to see this as anything other than Russophobia. Prince Hubris (talk) 18:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why? Because RT don't follow your westard propaganda shit? I understand that is a crime in the West, but good to hear confirmation. --Rowaa[SR13] (talk) 14:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
