Oh, EA. It’s really not been the best year for the infamous publisher so far, what with all the recent backlash around Madden 21 – in addition to the game being downright bad this year, and the nonchalant reaction from the developers around the criticism. Now it’s an outrage of a different flavor this week, surrounding UFC 4‘s use of in-game advertisements during replays.
Now in EA’s defense, it’s fair to say that these ads aren’t massively intrusive. They are, however, noticeable. Enough so that players have made their opinions known in abundance, and now EA has responded by removing them from UFC 4. In a statement to Eurogamer that also appeared under the original Reddit post, EA said the following:
What are your thoughts on in-game ads? Too much advertising, or is it not a big deal? Tell us your thoughts, and stay tuned at The Nerd Stash for all your news, reviews, and more!
