Re: New Madden 18 gameplay video
It's also frustrating that in an era where other companies allow streamers to set up streams of their games at E3 and their June press conferences, encouraging as much media to be organically (or semi-organically) published about a game as possible, EA still issues takedown requests for off-camera cell phone recordings of gameplay.
I'm no fan of Ubisoft, but they all allowed streamers to setup streaming kits for the new Assassins Creed, running on alpha Xbox One X hardware, and stream out to YouTube Gaming, Beam, and Twitch. Meanwhile, some security guy at EA Play is going around telling people to keep their phones in their pockets for a annually released football game that hardly changes year to year.
It's not just the new schedule, the poor communication, the focus on **** that nobody cares ago, it's that this is all happening at a time when game companies are opening up more access to their games, releasing open betas, closed alphas, allowing streamers to setup streaming kits at E3, encouraging people to get as much content out about the game as possible.
It's just so odd, but whoever the marketing release planners are at EA just can't help stepping on their own feet. They're one of the few videogame companies who still actively maintains this adversarial, antagonistic relationship with the fans of their games.
