You underestimate EA. We (community) criticised the way Command & Conquer was being developed and EA shut down the 25 year franchise permanently.. I'd be picking your battles more carefully against them.. As Silk is doing here, You are dealing with a company that made $1.5 billion in the 2nd Quarter of 2023..That's just April to June.. The entire Battlefield Franchise makes up for around $2.3 Billion per year which is significant, sure.. but at the end of the day you only matter if you're increasing their profit. If you're no longer profitable in the foreseeable future, you're canned... So essentially all your plan would do is force them to find a more profitable project if this franchise starts to effect the quarterly reports. Backing something into a corner leads to desperate reactions.

Not surprised. Corporate censorship has been a thing for a while now and EA is one of the greediest and most controlling publishers in the entertainment industry. I stopped buying their products years ago, but I did decide to give them one last final chance with 2042 as I missed playing BF with my mates. Needless to say they blew it big time and I'm done with EA and all their subsidiaries. I thought it was gonna create a big hole in my gaming choices and initially Bioware was who I thought I would miss the most. But so far it hasn't seemed to affect me. With the exception of AC Valhalla and Breakpoint, I havent bought any Ubisoft games in years either. I have found that avoiding the big dogs has not only massively reduced my gaming dissatisfaction and frustration but also saved me a lot of money. There are so many other devs to choose from and so many indie teams making better games for literally a 1/3 to 1/2 the price of these big "AAA" devs. And pretty soon, AI will replace these pricks. Within a couple of years we will just be able to ask AI to make our own games exactly how we want them and we will be able to swap games with each other like trading cards. We'll be able to improve on them, add to them and modify them to our liking. People will start selling their own games on Etsy style marketplaces and cut out these giant corporations from the equation. As such, they will wither and die off and I cannot wait. Good riddance.

For those wondering how he got banned, I’m confident this video is why he got banned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4OvaX-QoplnhJo He essentially called out Alex Furmoso for being awful at their job and he deserves to be fired. I don’t believe that Alex Furmoso shouldn’t be fired, but should be held accountable for certain statements and some of the methods they use to balance weapons, because the methods Alex and Dice use for balance is awful. Dice basically said that criticism from the best players means nothing because they’re not the average player. To give a bit of context on Alex Furmoso, he’s 2042s’ weapon designer and not too long ago he said he wanted to buff the G57, even though it’s clearly the best sidearm and outclasses a lot of primaries. Alex is clearly incompetent.

Requested an unban after 30 days and a EA person basically told me "nah we won't unban you, ever", so they never did and my BF3 profile on BL is still "hidden by Battlelog administrators".

Few over the top dramatic comments here. The key difference between your lis video and Enders' latest video talking about the dev/g57 video is that you did it without the toxicity. You will never get banned for that, nor will you get banned for criticism. In the end, Enders rides the line with his persona (and yeah its fun to watch) but eventually his luck run out with that g57 vid, it was just a bit too targeted at an individual dev. No one here would tolerate that personality IRL so we really shouldn't pretend to be surprised that its finally copped a ban. You talk about the big twitch streamers kinda being exempt from the 'rules' because they are the big money makers, and that really is the case here from DICE's perspective. The target market for EA/DICE is very much the casual console market, not people with a competitive streak, so no real loss to DICE to just ban him from the game. dredged out the old 15 year old youtube account for this LOL

[@Klaereific]

Though I think Enders ban is a bit of a rash action by EA, he has been on record through his videos actively calling out devs and being pretty harsh on top of the feedback. I never found it to be offensive, but I'm a game developer, and for the most part when I hear content creators calling devs "brain dead" and "worthless at their jobs" I do feel like Dice are in their rights to take action. Granted, I stopped watching his vids a bit before June last year, so I couldn't say how his videos have evolved since. Devs adore feedback, and especially the kind that comes in gameplay form (like the Lis video you mentioned, quite enjoyed that one). I hope they can clarify their reasons for the ban, but less insults and more constructive criticism, I believe, lead to a healthier game.

[@Dr_Skot]

This is the response I was expecting to see more of. Enders is quite toxic if you view his content from the outside and not as a fan. Doxing someone, even if it's just bring attention to a specific name, even if it's public; is uncalled for. Many think they're doing a good deed by calling out a specific individual but they don't know how their role truly works. Many ignore that every employee, including a CEO is beholden by someone else. Nobody has free reign to just do whatever updates they want. That's now how games or any business works.

[@jessecv]

This is what happens when games become all about the money. When a game is no longer a product for people to buy but a service for people to temporarily use. Due to videos making them look bad, and perhaps several particular devs specifically, they are acting in this manner. If you buy a product and it is not up to standard, you criticize it. You leave a review. You tell people that the product either does not work or could be improved. DICE is going into an area that it shouldn't, telling people who have paid for the product what they can or cannot say. Obviously if people go too far with their criticism they should be acted upon, but we all can see that this is not so with Enders. Even if he has been harsh in the past, I don't think Enders has gone to the point that such action should have been made against him. DICE made the wrong move, and we cannot let this become a precedent for the future of criticism against a game that we have bought.

[@getwrecked949]

It is about the way you say something. Enders uses a very harsh way of talking about something. Everyone has the right to speak their mind, but in a respective way. A lot of content creators make video's they know will be popular and shitting on Battlefield is popular. Too be honest EA banning him is not the answer and is kind sad. Instead they should try to engage in a positive way with him, content creators and the community about problems in the game.

[@mikehunt8708]

I mean he has a right to be pissed at the problems in the game that people have been complaining about for 2 YEARS. BF has turned into a quick money grab where you deliver a poor quality game, people buy it, see that its bad, EA says "we will make it better", then doesn't and the cycle repeats with the next game. What would be 100% positive for the game would be if a dev did a little podcast type thing with enders to discuss the state of the game, but they would never do that because they don't care

[@spas6128]

Never bend over to their bullying or this could be the new norm.

[@derlkampfpanther6973]

EA is really just getting worse and worse by the minute.

[@octapusxft]

Now they kicked out GhostGaming from the EA creators for "leaking" DICE's "feelings" about the squad kick

[@eze4life100]

EA is gonna make a pushover out of these content creators. Tbh, they need you more than you need them, but you know that. 🙃

[@BALANCEBF]

Enders is harsh but only because nothing else seems to work. I mean i can sympathize with the dev that got called out, i'm sure it doesn't feel good, but when someone does obvious mistakes and questionable decisions, they should be held responsible. In the other hand, i'm glad they are watching the videos where they get criticism, but instead of listening his points, they are trying to silence him.

[@FORZEFUL]

I mean, while Ender's channel is mostly about ranting, negativity, and "the game will only be perfect if they listen to me" mentality. It does get old quick for me but I don't think his content warrants a ban on him from the devs. There will always be critical opinions of the work you put out.

[@TheKims82]

I don't think critisizing the game will get you banned. It's when you go after the devs calling them incompetent and that they all should be fired it's becoming a problem. Critisize the game and company, but don't go after individuals.

[@IngweMutliMediaProductions]

It seems EA/DICE just does not know what they doing, every-time they do this kind of shit , the hole they dig gets deeper and deeper, They end up been a bigger villain . They act like little kids and Enders up making look better. EA/DICE need to grow up, fix there mistakes , listen to what the customers want . this is business 101 .

[@lHawkee]

Not sad that enders got banned coz he is doing the same on his twitch channel but really sad to see that Dice is now beyond any help anymore ...

[@joshyjoshy2022]

Don't back down. Be a voice and use your platform for a use, we wish we had that opportunity, but we don't.

[@Kevin89866]

Lol simple solution for you guys to beat DICE. Get a console preferably Xbox, get games pass on a main account and stream on a second, third or fourth account. You can even pass your console through a vpn and stop an IP ban :)

[@haze.1429]

so stupid now gaming aint fun anymore with those stupid rules so sad to see this nowadays

[@StreetLethal92]

Pretty much if you are not a sell out like jackfrags then you might have to worry.

Brother, Cloven is just in the bin this match LOL

[@KillDozer44]

YOURE NEXT LOOOOOL

[@scottwatts35]

Is kinda dumb for a dev to ban a content creator. makes them look like they'd rather censor criticism than take it constructively. Don't think it's necessary to personally insult the members of the team, but it's probably true that so many kids just love trash talking so much, that maybe you do need to pander to the crowd like this to be heard.

[@naspointO]

censoring yourself allows the problem to get worse. it's the meaning of the phrase weak men create hard times. it takes more courage to stand up for what's right.

[@Edward-oe2yj]

Would be interesting to see them try this on someone that lives in the EU, doubt it would stand up to their laws

[@PowaPop]

I believe his ban was from him not trashing the game, but for repeatedly calling for devs to lose their jobs... I think I even remember him calling some of them out by name in older videos. Say what you want about the game and EA, calling for people to lose their livelihoods is gross... The devs are not to blame, they are the ones who love the game and are doing everything to fix it. The game was rushed out and buggy because the higher ups wanted it to be released.

[@rlsjunior797]

That’s a pretty near sighted view. Look at the big picture. The sales for the previous 2 battlefield games haven’t been good to say the least. It needs to improve drastically or EA will axe the series causing many at dice to lose their livelihoods. Weapon balance is definitely a factor in how enjoyable a game is, at least be honest with yourself. It’s terrible. The guy either needs to get better at balancing or find something else to do. It’s a harsh reality but it’s still reality.

[@PowaPop]

@@rlsjunior797 you make a good point.

[@hawwknn]

@@rlsjunior797 its pretty near-sighted to say hes a major reason for the game's failure. There's hundreds of people that work at DICE. Gun balance was the least of their worries when the game released. Clearly its not an easy job, otherwise it would be great, right?

[@MrDerger12]

Good on you for getting the word out. What's next? Thought crimes?

[@billbillson3129]

No surprise here. I am so sick of the scummy and greedy actions of EA, Bethesda, Rockstar, etc. The incremental way they have crept to depths they now inhabit is an example for where they are going. Worse and worse products, more and more abusive overreaching is the reason I have stopped buying "AAA" dev studio games. Good luck out there.

[@manoschaniotakis3328]

EA: Ban bf2 / bf5 cheaters after 1-2 years of rampage and thousands of reports --> NAH . Ban KZbinrs for getting EA's feeling hurt? YES

[@kristianasheim5671]

If Enders learned to give criticism and not crying he whould be okay. All, ALL he does is fucking cry. It's boring to listen to. You do not cry like him so you are safe

[@kamikazeplays6818]

Nope that was all critics and dice has an hurt ego instead of fixing theire game

[@swft_]

He literally tells them exactly what to change. Just because he gets pissed off while ranting, doesn't mean his criticism is invalid.

[@kristianasheim5671]

@@swft_ he can give points but he can't tell them what to change. It don't work that way. And he needs to stop crying. He is a grown man.

[@swft_]

@@kristianasheim5671 He can tell them what to change as he's entitled to have opinions (and very accurate ones btw). We live in a democracy and freedom of speech is a right, as long as he isn't starting witch hunts/doxing or doing other malicious things to target a company or its developers, he's not in the wrong. I understand people not liking his rant-y style of content delivery, but that still doesn't invalidate his opinions.

[@clashcon11]

That's definitely down bad.

[@barbatos7233]

What EA just did is 1 illegal and 2 bullying

[@KEYTV13]

I don’t get harsh criticism from your videos, yours come off reasonable in a proper manner. When I hear Enders it’s like he’s insulting them damn near.

[@lylemcdermott2566]

Because Silk won't say the game is shit, he's a chill.

We really got to speak agaisnt this because if not we might end up in the same situation as the cod community.

In that clause it specifically states (acting reasonably and objectively). Pretty sure this isn't reasonably or objectively.

[@scotlandmcturk659]

i think EA need to focus on producing a better game and not worry about whats said on multiple platforms. I haven't pre-ordered a game since BF4.
