EA Allows Bomb and Death Threats
Playing apex is such a rewarding time tbh, I can play and get all the racist and hate crime attacks without having to leave my home, but if I were to defend myself, even jokingly, I'm in the no no region.
Context, plat lobby, playing to grind / occupy myself, run into a lobby where a teammate, rushes in, dies, cant get banner, proceeds to go in voice chat saying "PICK UP MY F****** BANNER OR ILL BOMB YOUR FAMILY AND NAPALM THEM LIKE MY UNCLE DID", all in caps to point out he's yelling this in VC, and below is the whole email sent to me, of my only response to the person. Guess it's a no no, but all I did was create a new account, added the same player, and he's still playing, can only tell that EA doesn't care/mind, good thing i only ever bought one battle pass and saved the apex coins from those to buy the next one, only took ~$10 from me, just sad such a company that allows this without looking at context got any of my money.
I even screenshotted the email just in case anyone thinks I left out anything from the email, but I did copy it below as well.

- @ThatVietCong First of all they don't allow death threats or bomb threats so please stop trying to say they do, report that player and he will be dealt with at some point in the same way with a ban. Rule number one is never respond back to someone with a negative response or you'll be banned as well most of the time. Best to mute players in game and avoid replying in chat as a lot of people do this to get a response and then report you.
