Epilepsy Warning Advert

The sponsored ad that launched recently on twitter and across Facebook is not safe for people with epilepsy. The first few seconds is constant flickering.

I only know this because I have Epilepsy and found this out the hard way at 22:00 scrolling through twitter on my bus journey home and getting a seizure from the advert.

I was looking forward to playing the game but now I am terrified the game night trigger seizures too.

I've contacted EA Support who are looking into it but has anyone else had the same issue.

    I think this topic is very interesting and important, hoping they find this out and correct or advert people with this kind of sensitivity.

    It was super scary being on my own and having a seizure just from checking twitter.

    I really want to play the game and I am worried about it now too so hoping that the game will be alright but need some sort of confirmation first. 

    Hoping EAs studio team either reply here or I'll have to message again soon.

    I am not effected by the flicker of lights or flashes. But stress, this game is intense for 2min of play and causes your mind buzz and heart rate 
    This plants a UXB in my head and when i am calm and could be weeks later this UXB goes off,
