EA Staff Under Investigation

[J4MES OX4D 10,036]

EAGate has begun after allegations that an EA staff member and potentially others, were caught selling FIFA Ultimate Team players to users for real money in under the table deals. EA are probably more pissed off that staff are making money out of their own pockets rather than protecting the community!

On another note, I can believe morons are willing to pay these sorts of sums in the first place. It sickens me to see where FIFA is and what it has become - it was making some very good gameplay strides a decade ago before UT hit. It's almost as bad as NBA 2K which is literally a casino with a basketball minigame nowadays!

Oh lookie. Real life corruption of FIFA infects virtual FIFA world. Color me shocked. 🙃

 

Yeah, EA is just pissed that they aren't getting a cut of the money. That's about it haaha.

That was my thought exactly. They aren't happy that somebody has got a cut of the ridiculous amount of money they make from FUT.

The investigation is ongoing.

It's funny that the recipients will get banned and their card(s) removed - imagine spending $1700+ on such virtual shite under the table in a game that's already rigged as it is.
