The rule given in the email was "inauthentic account: bot or an impersonation" lmao

Yeah think you're right. We have a new film out in 6 months and one close to wrapping yet there's nothing. What they post about is stuff most people don't care about

I used a Chrome extension that made managing multiple accounts easier. I got my account back but that place is just hell

Not surprised yet still expected better. Plenty of game companies have tried and are still continuing. People will go where the content is so put your content here.

Ready for Wednesday!

It without a doubt spoiled what was going to be a huge moment: Yoda and Maul dueling in the reveal trailer. I saw a WIP version of the trailer at a feedback event 1 month prior. That scene was the big money shot.

Seeing that clip all over social media days before it was supposed to go live sucked.

iirc it leaked early the same way the game's reveal trailer leaked which I was also present for.

Twitter would send emails to users about recent tweets/videos by accounts they follow. There was a bug which would include scheduled Tweets so trailers in those emails... ridiculous.

Soon after, screenshots started circulating on the sub. So EA ended up making the decision to release the trailer late at night EU time and days ahead of schedule. (the GTA 6 trailer 1 gave me flashbacks). I was a worried this would would hurt its performance, thankfully the trailer spoke for itself

Will pick a winner next week. It's an NA code but if you are from elsewhere, You can just change your account region, redeem the code, then change it back :)

The difference is low end PCs (depending who you ask) don't have the RT capabilities of the Switch 2. It is still quite a scalable game though with it achieving some of the best graphics in video games across a range of hardware

I'd have said so if they didn't announce massive were doing voluntary restructuring a few weeks ago and they still feel a bit burned by licenced IP :(

I got my first preview event invite: to play and record the Bespin expansion and Titanfall 2 in LA early. Unfortunately, my mum's funeral was a day before so I could not go. Luckily, I got an invite to play Scarif early and this led me to being one of the few who played Battlefront 2 early also

This was the first game I got sent early by a publisher. Mostly because back then EA was still releasing games 2 days later in Europe after the USA and they wanted a lot of UK content creators to still play it for the main launch

Some personal highlights:

I met some of my best friends loving this game/creating content. I got invited to a Twitter DM group and for 9 years some of us have spoken almost every day. Most of us have even met multiple times IRL with some travelling continents to come together.
