Electronic Arts owns one of the latest tweets on social media that has lost its mark after being roasted in large numbers by people, including its own developers. On June 30, EA jumped into the social media trend of “they’re 10 …”, but the company’s message wasn’t very well received.
“They are 10 years old, but they like playing single-player games,” EA wrote.Tweets have created a lot of discussion and buzz, and even more. EA’s own Vince Zampella chimes with face plum emoji. Developer Obsidian subtweeted EA“Single player is dope. Multiplayer is dope. The game is rud.”
Meanwhile, God of War producer Cory Barlog said: Said“Eternal Single Player Game”.
After being roasted in large quantities for tweets, EA followed up on a message owned by L. “Roasting is a matter of course,” said EA. “When I play a single-player game, I actually get 11, so I’ll use this L.”
In 2017, then EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said linear games are becoming less popular in the current market. This is part of the reason EA canceled Visceral’s Star Wars game. “As we continued to review the game, it continued to look like a linear game. [which] People don’t like it today as much as it did five or ten years ago. “
EA’s original tweet rubbed some people the wrong way. EA’s biggest businesses these days are live services, online and multiplayer games, but the company is still creating single-player games.
Future single-player game projects include Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, and Dead Space Remake.
