EA does most of it FIFA money from the game Ultimate Team mode, where fans spend real money on attempts to unlock the elite players. Today it is alleged that these lucrative goals are sold privately to users by EA Sports employees.
Using the hashtag #EAGATE, complaints have been filed about someone coming to EA FIFA Prime Icon Moment players for large sums of cash, such as € 1,000 ($ 1190) for two players.
It’s a lot of money, but there is people out there that they both catch FIFA very seriously i spend thousands on Ultimate Team packs just trying to unlock elite players, so being able to eliminate the random factor and directly get the best players isn’t a deal as terrible as you think.
When the complaints first appeared, it was difficult to analyze which one they were legitimate and they were … the same white noise that the FIFA community is always able to produce when it comes to their discomfort relationship with developer EA Sports.
However, some of the Screencaps appeared condemnatory:
G / O Media may receive a commission
Embarrassing enough that later a day, EA he acknowledged the allegations, issuing a statement saying “a thorough investigation is underway and, if we detect misconduct, we will take swift action.”
“We want to be clear: this kind of behavior is unacceptable and in no way do we accept what is said to have happened here. We understand how this creates concern about the unfair balance in the game and competition.”
