My question right now is, are the news supposed to be controversial for the community or for the game itself? What I mean is, any change in EAs social media presence wouldn't affect my enjoyment of the game itself. At the very worst they could shut down the forums, but then I could still play my game and get news and engage with simmers elsewhere.
If the controversial news were about the game itself, that would be much more anxiety inducing. Now that EA app forces us to periodically go online we cannot just ignore an update we don't like for months.
