On a related note...there is this Youtuber i watch who makes Madden videos. one of his video series involved him making trades to make a bad team good to see if they can win the Superbowl...in a recent update EA fucked up trades in franchise mode to where they removed the "interest meter"...so you can't see how close a particular trade is. its a simple yes or no now and that makes trading harder...they admitted it was a mistake but here, like a month later its apparently still not fixed....what's so difficult about just reverting one part of an update?

From a company standpoint, doing something like that is absolutely the right move. I'm all for hating on EA, but this is dumb.

They make a tweet like this after Trump starts saying "video games are bad". They also aren't even a family company with lots of M rated titles and lootcrates.

Yes, but it's coming from a company that borderlines has gambling in its games. Not only that but has an abundance of M rated games in its arsenal. They shouldn't have a say as to what parents should be doing.

There's nothing wrong with that tweet at all. Those are things parents should follow and know.

That's why they're telling parents to refer to the ESRB website to make their own decision!

The tweet still doesn't make sense to me imo, esspecially from a business perspective. They could lose sales because of stupid parents actually looking into the rating.

It's like if a company like Rockstar or Bethesda released a message like this. They wouldn't want to because of all the mature games they have, potentially ruining there reputation with parents.

It's more of a preemptive deflection of blame. But instead of acknowledging the whole issue is bullshit, they feed into the idea

This topic backfired hard.

On topic I'm not sure how that's even selling out. Like you just said, they're NOT worrying about their bottom line with that tweet, pretty much the opposite of selling out.

I meant stupid as in stupid before. Because if you really need a game company on what games you should buy for your child then you'd definitely quality as a stupid parent.

....what? you said that tweet will make stupid parents actually check the ratings. Whether they were stupid before is irrelevant. its still a GOOD thing...they could also just be ignorant to the ratings system and were now informed. again...GOOD...

What in the world?

First of all it's not EA telling you the stuff. It's the ESRB. EA are referring parents to them.

Second of all parents aren't psychic and won't know the content of a game until they research it. The ESRB is a good resource for this.
