EA wants to retain its title as the world’s most hated company. The American publisher just ignited the web with a simple tweet criticizing single-player games.
We know a community manager who’s going to have a bad day. To ride the wave of the same “it’s a 10 but…” EA tried to play a joke by attacking those who love single player games. Unfortunately for the company, it backfired.
EA sparks controversy with a simple tweet
« It’s a 10, but he/she only plays single player games “. Here is the tweet that has been inflaming gamers on social networks since last night. A hoax by EA that many find distasteful, especially since the publisher is not exactly in the best position to promote multiplayer games. Netizens rushed to atomize him by reminding him of his various failures in this area over the past few years, the most recent of which is obviously on everyone’s lips: Battlefield 2042. The one that was to bring Call of Duty to its knees was before one few weeks left with a ridiculous number of players at the bottom of the hole.
« It’s a 10, though he she just like loot boxes and microtransactions in games ‘ replies another netizen. Unfortunately EA, no one has forgotten the debacle of Star Wars Battlefront 2, whose microtransactions are rightfully one of the biggest scandals in video game history. Without even counting on Anthem, bitter failure of the American publisher.
Others aren’t shy about recalling that some of the publisher’s best-selling and biggest hits have been single-player games. The Sims, Mass Effect and more recently Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order or It Takes Two are among the most cited. Electronic Arts missed yet another great opportunity to shut up. To think it lives up to its title of the world’s most hated company.
