“When they’re 10, but they like single-player games,” reads a rather weak joke from the production of the Electronic Arts Twitter account. A statement that basically draws from the fact that even if someone is the ideal partner for you, playing single player games is their beauty flaw, it really didn’t sit well with a publisher known for its bad multiplayer games.

A few hours later there was an acknowledgment that “you have deservedly slandered us and there are actually people playing singleplayer 11,” but the damage was already done. At the same time, EA has really stepped on thin ice, as its multiplayer games have not been doing very well lately (see Battlefield 2042 for example or earlier notorious flop Anthem).

On the contrary, the publisher should be proud of its single-player titles, as this is the direction in which it has been able to surprise in recent years. For example the successful RPG Jedi: Fallen Order recently received the confirmation of the second part and It Takes Two it even won Game of the Year at The Game Awards last year. In general, Electronic Arts is known for large single-player titles such as Mass Effect or Dragon Age.
Roast well deserved. We’ll take this L cause playing single player games actually makes them an 11. https://t.co/PNg4FKOgfB

However, a large portion of the criticism was immediately brought down, for example, because Electronic Arts Visceral studio closed, which focused precisely on the creation of single-player games. The most famous name from the production of this studio is Dead Spacebut it is also worth it Battlefield Hardline or Dante’s Inferno. In addition, the studio was then working on a story single-player game from the Star Wars world.
The rest of the discussion was mostly aimed at the failed multiplayer titles full of microtransactions, which, after all, the internet has mocked EA for a long time. At the same time, it’s a bit paradoxical, because slandering EA is already a bit of a joke in itself, especially at a time when practically no big game name can escape the wrath of the Internet. But when the publishing house played a nice trick on people like this, there’s really nothing to be surprised about. After all, a number of well-known developers also joined in, including Vince Zampella, the head of the Respawn Entertainment studio, who he responded facepalm icon. At the same time, the studio falls under EA.
This is the company that shut down my studio and laid off ~100 great developers because we were making a single player game https://t.co/2SXhQtRGE8
