EA's recent single-player games tweet has reportedly caused some drama

If this had come from another publisher, this may not have been as "controversial", but EA infamously declared skepticism

The studio has also released a number of mediocre multiplayer games with poorly received monetization systems, shuttered popular single-player developers

Even EA developers and executives chimed in to express annoyance with the tweet and it turns out, it may have caused trouble internally

Numerous EA employees took to Slack to discuss the message and some social media managers planned to respond back to the tweet using the Twitter accounts of EA studios

EA is reportedly now hosting roundtable conversations with employees and executives who saw the tweet as an insult to their work

Of course, Respawn is hard at work on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor which is slated to release in 2023 for current-gen consoles and PC

It is one of the major single-player only hits that EA has had over the last decade as it has tried to incorporate some kind of multiplayer into many of its other titles
