The weeks leading to the release of Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) was filled with controversy. But the biggest controversy that sent Reddit into a riot was EA’s infamous “pride and accomplishment” comment. Link here. The comment inspired weeks of memes about EA, and ultimately ended with the temporary pulling of microtransactions just before the game launched. Game sales did not meet sales expectations, being surpassed by CoD WW2 by millions of copies. The controversy also inspired politicians to start taking a closer look at gambling in video games, and possibly pass legislation.
