EA is associating with bigots and paying them to be part of their platform promoting games. How is this not on EA and their awful gamechangers program?
It's not like they took the video down or "blacklisted" him over his shitty views (just due to some disclosure technicality he decided to start some drama about), that apparently have been known for quite a while.
I apparently kicked the GamerGate hive on Twitter by pointing out his sexist and homophobic tweets. Fun.
Both can be shit. No one is really the good guy here.
The program lets them get the game into the hands of people who are interested in making content for it - videos, previews, cosplay, etc... while ensuring that their participation in it IS FULLY DISCLOSED... Isn't that what people want? This is literally a program that DOES NOT PAY PEOPLE, only provides them with the game or access to it - and requires you to mention every bit of your involvement in it.
This is exactly the kind of thing people have asked for in the past - transparent disclosure. People even got in trouble during the Apex Legends launch for forgetting to put the disclosure hashtag on their tweets about being at the early sessions. The program's a positive, they might want to make sure they check out the backgrounds of people they accept though...
The problem seems to be he put it out as a review. The original upload did fully disclose it was made possible by EA Game Changers.
I mean you have to disclose it or you get smacked by the FTC.
I'm pretty sure various marketing departments would love to not have that requirement.
The best thing would be to not influence the "influencers" (oh how much I hate that word) at all.
people tried to make it so EA put down a "bad" review of Anthem, when in reality the problem was that this dude never disclosed he was given the game by EA themselves
Most of the game changers videos/tweets are from people pretty conscientious about following the rules.
Conclusion
Lol the dude can't even get his bullshit story straight, ''I assume that relationship is severed now'' = ''EA BLACKLISTED ME BECAUSE I'M TOO HONEST!!1'' apparently.
Why isn't his preview taken down as well? It says EA Game Changers, not sponsored by EA, which EA claims is the relationship.
No the original comment said he said he was blacklisted to save face. And niether of these scenarios make sense for him to "save face"

Thank you for this, will update the OP when back in a few minutes.
Thanks for the update.
This guy sounds like a real piece of work, and if the above is true, I can only give EA props for trying to have the correct paid for label on videos when that's the case, even if I disagree with the practice either way.
Dude was lying then?
Good to know. I personally don't have an issue with sponsored content if this kind so long as it is both disclosed and not not directly controlled by the company.
Hopefully people will get the correction that this dude is a liar trying to cover his ass and won't run with the narrative that EA is silencing reviews.

Wait, so they definitely were paying him for a review? Or have I read that wrong?
Seems the guy is either a complete bullshitter or has massively overreacted here too. Message of this story, don't trust influencers or the companies paying them.
Another thread demonstrating gamers ain't shit. They damage gaming for me more than any corporation. Bigotry, uncritical thinking and the delusional belief of their persecution.
No surprise how this played out.

So did SkillUp every clarify himself since I see a few pages back he was in "just asking questions" mode, while claiming EA unjustly took down his video?
So he threw a fit because they asked him to disclose he was paid for content. Honestly I really hope they actually blacklist this prick seeing he's a dick.
I dislike the game but EA did nothing wrong here for once

I tweeted out the image from this thread tonight, showing his fairly recent homophobic and sexist "evil feminist" tweets, in response to the string between him and the guy from EA.
Gggmanlives replied to me, saying something like, "Imagine cherry picking old tweets to find something negative."
My mentions were immediately bombarded by what GamerGate goons, calling me a fag, cuck, autistic, etc.
These are sad, little people.
Notice he doesn't apologise or walk back his bigoted beliefs, he still holds to them so really the age of the tweets got no relevance.
Yep. The response wasn't, "I've changed since two years ago. I was an asshole and I'm sorry."
It was, "What kind of person looks at old tweets?"
Listen, we all have something on the internet we regret. There's probably a forum that I said a homophobic slur on back when I was a teenager in the early 2000s because I was a stupid child who didn't understand that words do matter. But if you're a grown ass adult who was saying that shit within the last couple years, you need to look at yourself a bit.
And to think, there was a guy here a page or two back swearing up and down that this dude was not political and definitely not in a GG crowd. As soon as you actually dig up his shit, the attack dogs get sent out with his GG whistle. Wonder if that poster will come back and acknowledge the receipts he was so desperately looking for.
Sorry to hear you are being harassed, you don't deserve that.
No worries. It's always the same: 90% anonymous people on Twitter who don't even use their real first names. With cartoon or video game profile pictures.
I know that none of them speak like that to people in real life. Anonymity gives them a backbone that isn't really there.
Just so you know, you're not mad about him agreeing to join their shill program to begin with, you're mad about EA kicking him out of it. It's absolutely astonishing how gamers like you see news like this and react to it.
Revealing what now lmao
You do know that the program literally tells you upfront what it is, right? He didn't reveal shit rofl.
Dudes a piece of shit gamergater that tried to manufacture controversy and get all the clicks from brainless morons willing to join in
Well, damn, I liked the guy's vids and it's sad to hear he is a GGer (which considering his alias makes sense) and a shill.
Sorry man, but you got what you had coming.

Lying about being sponsored by the same company he accused of foul play. Amazing.
Cheers for linking that, indeed that is pretty much indefensible. As I said not here to handwave, just to make sure the anger is actually deserved. Which in the case of those tweets it is.
what an utterly pointless and self destructive way of destroying your relationship with a publisher.
