[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56367, member: 1"] A joke made by EA's official Twitter account making fun of single player games did not go well for the company – and the internet's reaction forced the company to address its mistake. Getting on board with a popular meme, EA tweeted (below) "they're a 10 but they only like playing single-player games". The tweet in itself was a little odd, given that EA itself publishes plenty of single player games including [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/mass-effect-legendary-edition-review-part-1-mass-effect']Mass Effect: Legendary Edition[/URL], [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/11/15/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-review']Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order[/URL], and [URL='https://www.ign.com/videos/the-sims-4-high-school-years-official-reveal-trailer']The Sims 4[/URL], but what started as perhaps just a poorly-chosen joke escalated once the post gained traction. Twitter users, including the head of [URL='https://twitter.com/VinceZampella/status/1542728204749680641?s=20&t=-6ZpLQ7KK5b01FXrQIUrZQ']EA's Respawn Entertainment Vince Zampella[/URL], [URL='https://twitter.com/Jacksepticeye/status/1542668609746608130?s=20&t=VZ0o-VoMc5JCsNiUp-E1xQ']YouTuber Jacksepticeye[/URL], and the [URL='https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1542798571795357696?s=20&t=T7pi7If_fA7NVID4D5UTgA']Game Awards host Geoff Keighley [/URL]all shared in the disparagement in the replies, while plenty of others made fun of and criticised EA in retaliation.
