El Mariachi said: I dunno guys. Putting aside all the ridiculous reddit outrage, this seems like a textbook marketing stunt from EA to polish up their image. Do not forget that this is the same company that has been named worst company of the US multiple times. Imagine you being the boss of EA. What a perfect opportunity to be the good guy again... Click to expand... Click to shrink...

EA seems great place to work at, they treat their employees decently.They treat LGBT right, they are constantly recognized by Human Rights Campaign in their annual Corporate Equality Index https://assets2.hrc.org/files/assets/resources/CEI-2018-FullReport.pdf Look I'm no fan of loot boxes and unsatisfactory game endings either. But voting EA to be worst company in the world over some banks and companies who work their employees to death just tells about the absolute stupidity and entitlement in gaming community. I adore CD Projekt games, but hell I'd vote them over EA at this point when talking about gaming companies. Because of their atrocious handling of social media and the incompetence of proper apologies and their insane crunch. They also have pay to win blind packs in Gwent, so they are no strangers to that monetization model either. No matter how much they are flaunting about leaving greed to others and Witcher 3 being GOAT while having the best DLC of the decade. They could still learn something from EA.And if you think this is EA polishing up their image, you must know they've been doing it for quite a while. It didn't start with Battlefield V, hopefully it doesn't end there either. I wouldn't even really care that much if they were insincere (which I doubt), they are still doing the right thing. Considering how they are often the target of gamer outrage anyway, ruffling some feathers like this deserves my respect. They were fighting bigots in 2012 already https://www.gamesindustry.biz/artic...-itself-against-thousands-of-anti-gay-letters They are one of the biggest in the industry, it's important they are doing this. And others should follow the lead. I'd hate to see them back down, when they should double down.
