This. EA did a good here by simply taking the side of individuals standing up to tyranny. They could claim to be as progressive as they need, but their inner work culture is totally cut-throat, betray your very best buddy to Madden 21 coins get a bonus and a sports car, internally sabotage your rivals project, kinda culture. There is a reason people hate EA both internally and externally. It is really pretty well known in Brazil, especially on TV, in terms of evaluations it clearly loses out to soccer by a fairly wide margin, but I would say it's on par with the NBA, Tennis and Formula 1 here. For the past decades cinemas have even begun to demonstrate the Super Bowl in theatres live because it is a pretty big event.
However, it's not a favorite game for folks to play since it requires a lot of equipment, but there are amateur soccer or flag soccer teams in every city and many universities. I myself played for 5+ years and then coached my college's team for a couple of years. Who cares why they are doing this, can we at least respect that they're doing something? I imagine they already sent press coverage material to different books in preparation of launching that trailer, and instead they're most likely spending a great deal of time sending emails to say they're delaying it. Edit: Seeing a lot of opinions that are such as: Properly they do nothing. To that, I will just answer, they might still do less by simply silently pushing back any proposed trailer reveals, which this remains a business twitter which means someone had to find the tweet accepted on a certain level, so someone did something. It's not a great deal, but ... Still something.
Some artwork guy somewhere spent 15 minutes putting platitudes on a black backdrop and they tweeted out it. I have noticed a dozen of them already and it's about as easy as placing on the rainbow icons for pleasure. It's promotion in a catastrophe by trying to seem shaky. Perhaps, but I think that it's something. Half the answers I found on Twitter were folks freaking out about it. Those folks most likely don't give a shit about Madden anyway, when you say you would like a diversion while half of the nation is are protesting, it kinda makes you look like a dick.
But police brutality and NFL are two themes which have been fairly nicely intertwined with each other these last few years because of all the protests. Maybe it is going to help knock some sense into someone. Otherwise, maybe it is going to piss them off, I am fine with this also, because fuck em. And they also could have done nothing. They could have waited a week or two for it to blow over and published it then. This way gets the message out there, even if they have absurd business motives, it's far better than nothing. There's many companies and lots of buy Madden nfl 21 coins celebrities doing and saying nothing. I respect anybody who is speaking up.
