Why was the HRT supporter skin changed

[Rosebuddy]

Why did they remove it especially without saying anything. It's so bad now and it says fisa instead of hrt.

[𝒞𝒶𝓈𝓊𝒶𝓁 Sinner]

They said and showcased in advance that it would be going from FBI to FISA, I imagine due to copyright.

FISA? That's a federal law that governs domestic surveillance programs.

Seriously, WTH are these guys on.

It didn't say FBI, it said HRT.

Yeah don't what they're thinking. They missed hard with this change.

FBI

Makes the initial change to HRT then FISA even more baffling.

It's safer to replace real names of places, people and organisations with fake names, this is to avoid any public or legal backlash.

At least they kept the names of real weapons (something developers obscure because of California law and/or licensing fees), but I'd personally prefer real organisations and places, such as FBI instead of FISA and Los Angeles instead of Los Sueños (although it makes sense why this is the name of the city, if you search it up). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I seriously doubt the FBI will give a single ♥♥♥♥ about their name being used in a Police game, numerous other games do it with no problems so why not here? It being called FISA is honest to God awful.

Really should of just stuck with FBI or HRT I paid for an HRT skin not FISA
FISA CREDIT SCORE
Enforcement TEAM
FISA CSET

[Walt von Keisel-Walther]

Bumping this because this is straight up outrageous given the fact they advertised it as FBI HRT not this knock off FISA crap.

HRT is short for the Hostage Rescue Team. It's an elite tactical FBI unit.

They have a map that involves school shooting (it's even named The Elephant as a reference to the eponymous film about Columbine Massacre), terrorists from Yemen shooting up a nightclub and what not. I am pretty sure that having FBI represented in the game is nothing in comparison, if we're talking about "public backlash". Besides, I don't get why idiotic complaints should matter.
As for the legal backlash, CS GO (now CS2) has an FBI faction (which is based on FBI HRT unit specifically, but is called just FBI in the game), and VALVe never got into any legal problems because of that.

Guessing reading comprehension isn't exactly your strong-point. I was pointing out to an above poster that stated the previous uniforms had an FBI patch when in fact it had HRT. Try again.

What the ♥♥♥♥ is FISA even supposed to mean? Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the law the guy above is talking about.

Its not even a organization its a federal law by congress involving intelligence agencies like the NSA for the most part. Not only this but there is literal BORTAC and US Marshals skins ffs. So not only two federal agency tactical teams but apparently the FBI is a problem?

[Walt von Keisel-Walther]

So the argument of it being copyright straight up is just false and can be thrown out a window for the reasons above according to these facts and logic.
