EA blacklists youtuber from Game Changers program for negative Anthem review - Sensationalist Headlines

Apex was made by Respawn Entertainment and Anthem was made by Bioware. EA owns both companies though. It's like a basket with a bunch of stuff in it, except the basket is EA and the things inside are the different development companies they own like bioware and respawn.

EA has confirmed to GameDaily that it specifically requested that Gggmanlives replace the “Presented by Game Changers” watermark on the video with the one that reflects sponsorship, because that was the relationship for this content. "Please say that we paid you" "How about no lol" "ok goodbye" "wtf blacklist" Yeah fuck this. EA is a turd company but right now this guy is a total snake and you guys are lapping it up.

I've got no issue with him doing this to EA. Even if he did this all intentionally, EA deserves nothing more than failure and I'd think better of him if he did decide to get blacklisted by EA by screwing them over. Plus, you're assuming it wasn't a miscommunication and given the dude's past, i'm more likely to believe that than anything.

Why would you ever lose your cool enough to start throwing analogies like this at people over game review drama

"EA is bad and all BUT they didn't do anything wrong!" - FunnyGamer, 2019

Yikes! I'd rather shit on the company for the many, many things they've done wrong, and shit on the game for being a piece of shit, thanks! EA has confirmed to GameDaily that it specifically requested that Gggmanlives replace the “Presented by Game Changers” watermark on the video with the one that reflects sponsorship, because that was the relationship for this content. In a conversation on Twitter via direct message, Gggmanlives confirmed to me that he did receive compensation for this video, but claims it was under the Game Changers program Maybe it was a miscommunication, but you're assuming it was a miscommunication from EA's side. What if it was on his end? What if he saw a subtext that wasn't there? What if the carnal fear of the words "Please clarify in the video that you are sponsored" sent him into an adrenaline-fueled fight-or-flight response? Oh come off it, I'm not nearly as incensed as you think. If they're lying about literally everything, who's to say you're not living a life of crime? After all, I've no reason to trust you to your word! Not in this specific case, no. I'm glad we're in agreement.

Way to double down on being childish and immature.

I am shitting on EA for being shit and shitting on anthem for being a bad game, so what are you going on about? It's a shit game, EA is a shit company, and EA deserves to be backstabbed while anthem deserves to be criticized. I never said anything about EA owning the game making it objectively bad off the bat, so don't word your sentence to imply that I did. The fact the game is bad is separate from the fact that EA is bad, you're just making connections without reason. It doesn't hurt anthem any more than it's already been hurt for EA to be betrayed in the same breath, as the game is already being reviewed as shit. If EA was backstabbed, they deserved it. And I said nothing about who caused the miscommunication because that's not the point, the point is that there might have been a miscommunication. I'm not making it a point that it was more likely that than anything else, just that to assume either way is a bad idea. Should've read your other posts, shouldn't have responded to your post in the first place.

Like every human being, I hate EA to death, but as this video explains, I feel that was a bit unfair to automatically trust GGGanLives words and attack EA for this incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2QAwDq05RM I repeat, I hate Anthem, I hate EA Games, but what FunnyGamer has some truth, we don't have the complete story and maybe was unfair to jump to the hatewagon, like I did myself.

Maybe if EA wasn't so shit people wouldn't be so eager to hate them.

That's sort of the issue, ain't it? You're letting sensationalism win.

Not really, EA has proven that it's shit consistently

so facts don't matter anymore as long it is against the thing we hate? Strong initial reactions are what made journalists love piling on the misinformation instead of doing follow-up investigations. You are free to perceive this story as EA still in the wrong but at least this is shown to be a miscommunication and GGGManLives' impulsive actions than EA wanting to take down a negative review.

No, it just means as in, it's a reasonable to assume they're doing something shitty when that's basically all they've ever done

alright i guess that's fair. I still wish news outlets would stop reporting at face value.

Then they wouldn't just be news outlets lol Their job is to disseminate information and 'news,' not necessarily to analyze the information given and more rely on the readers to do that themselves, because they can inject bias into the story with limited information. Also, there are plenty of places that try and give a more meaningful discussion on things that immediately happen, but not all outlets do nor should they all.

GGG being true or false, it's not uncommon for reviewers or news outlets being blacklisted by a publisher simply for disagreeing with them or spreading what were simply at the time, rumors. Jim Sterling proudly boasts about being blacklisted by publishers, and of course, Kotaku was completely blacklisted by Bethesda due to the Fallout 4 leaks (which at the time weren't even possible to confirm as true). Really, blacklisting shouldn't be a thing at all unless the reviewer or outlet in question explicitly wishes to cause harm to any parties involved with the publisher, but we live in a warped industry where AAA publishers seek to fleece pockets while controlling opinions to fleece more pockets.

I agree, however I think an important distinction here is just what GGG might have been blacklisted from. The "Game Changers" program is, as far as I can tell, first and foremost a sort of content-creator-based PR thing. Stuff like videos promoting certain features of a game or whatever. They also sometimes get access to exclusive betas and showcasings, and a closer communique with the developers, maybe? Bottom line is, I don't think he's been put on a list of "Do Not Reply To This Person Ever" people. Or at least, we don't have any sort of reason to believe so yet.
