So let me get this straight. What EA is doing on Nintendo platforms basically is the same as someone bending the rules on VGC as much as possible without ever getting banned. It's stealth trolling at the highest level. Right? |
I don't really keep up to date with madden games, but it sounds VERY likely that EA would be willing to make a decent loss in order to stealth troll people.
The best stealth troll ever is a musician called Lou Reed. He was in a bit of a disagreement with a record company that he had had a contract with. His next album Mtal Machine Music was very much bordering on breaking the 'has to be a legitimate effort' rule. From wiki -
"the album entirely consists of guitar feedback played at different speeds. The two guitars were tuned in unusual ways and played with different reverb levels. He would then place the guitars in front of their amplifiers, and the feedback from the very large amps would vibrate the strings ... The fourth side ended in a locked groove that caused the last 1.8 seconds of music to repeat endlessly"
