EA’s Bad Tweet Last Week Has Led to Roundtable Meetings with Angry Staff
- hirundo 4y ago> They’re a 10 but they only like playing single-player games Could someone please interpret this tweet, and what is offensive about it? The article makes no effort to do so. Who are "they"? What does being a "10" mean? What does that have to do with playing single-player games? Why is it a put-down?
- trinovantes 4y agoI assume the 10 refers to 10/10 or a perfect person in the dating world The "but" implies a negative The "only like playing single-player games" is thus used as a derogatory term because EA only publish online-psuedo-mmo games now
- hirundo 4y agoThank you. I feel seen, I'm a 10 but only play single-player games. That explains why I'm not surrounded by admirers.
- theandrewbailey 4y ago> As for how this happened, well it turns out EA’s official Twitter account isn’t run by anyone from EA or its social teams. Then what are social teams good for if they don't post to their own Twitter account?
- elmerfud 4y agoAre people actively looking for ways to be offended? Internal teams at EA getting hurt over a tweet that's totally forgettable and even at it's most memorable it's just lame. It seems like someone at the top needed to post in their slack, "shut up about a stupid tweet and make something memorable." The last thing employees need to do is watch their companies Twitter. Except for outage notifications (which always come late) nothing of value is posted on a company Twitter account.
