EA tries a nasty joke, internet users fall for it

It’s like EA is holding onto its place as the most hated video game publisher on the planet. As if its dubious business model wasn’t enough, the firm regularly draws the wrath of gamers out of a bag of bad ideas. It’s been a long time since EA created controversy, so it was time for the community manager to reignite the flame.

To do this, he used the good old recipe for reheated breast. Currently, the trend in social networks is to post a sentence that begins with “One 10, but…” (referring to the English expression that means a person is considered beautiful), followed by a line character that is considered unpleasant. . Then, the aim is to inform the person in question, taking into account all these factors.

EA is (again) being dropped by disgruntled players

On Twitter, the publisher therefore posted the following sentence: “Number 10 but only plays single player games”, implied that they were of systematically lower quality than multiplayer games. If the gamer community is generally relatively sensitive anyway, it’s clear that this tweet is also in very bad taste. The rest, you know.

Many remind EA that their own multiplayer games have repeatedly been monumental failures. The most recent is, of course, Battlefield 2042, which saw its players abandoned in just a few days. But many still remember Stars Wars: Battlefront 2, whose extreme microtransactions remain one of the biggest scandals in video game history. “From the publisher who brought you the hit multiplayer game Anthem”laughs another internet user, shedding light on a game that is now forgotten by everyone.

Still others are interested in EA’s single-player games, remembering that some of them are among the publisher’s biggest hits. “Imagine playing only single player games”, He mocks a user who accompanied his sentence with an article about Mass Effect: The Legendary Edition’s sales records. Not to mention EA’s other big solo success in recent years, Star War Jedi: Fallen Order, there will even be a sequel. In short, the lesson here is: if you’re a brand, don’t make memes.
