Forums - Gaming Discussion - EA Goes Too Far With Harsh Wii-U Bashing April Fools Joke, Then Deletes It

Well look on the bright side, this got WiiU trending on twitter.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Well, who cares... The jokes weren't very good.

The third post fits better to BF4.



What a bunch of wankers!



What's "too far" about that? over sensitive people again huh?



I can't even fathom how some people are getting so upset over this.

To be honest the reaction from some WiiU owners is what is wrong here.  Can't believe they bothered deleting the tweets.


Yeah, it's just a little light hearted ribbing, and even if they have offended anyone it's pretty much just fans of a system that they aren't making games for anyway.



Probably just a PR guy gone rogue. This sort of thing has happened before. The jokes hardly came directly from EA.

Anyway they weren't even that bad. Or that good, considering they're meant to be funny.

this thrown in with only one of the statements would have been pure gold for april fools.



 

 

Anyone who seriously is upset over that needs to step away from the computer and get some fresh air.

See this thinking so so outdated. Most would own multiple consoles these days and pissing of any fanbase is impact their sales across all consoles.

Personally i don't mind if they continue to piss people off as they have run their franchises into the ground. NFS Battlfield, Sports games. All need to be rethinked and revamped.
