The video took me by surprise. If they were trying to push my buttons they hit all of them.
Giving myself some time to cool off and reflect on the message, it dawned on me that a dev
that represents EA/Respawn would never go on record with that kind of information. I would
wager that it was either staged or faked. What do you think?
Thanks again for all the communication that you are providing!

@t1xx1The guy in the video has nothing to do with either EA or Respawn (aside that he might play their games on occasion, who knows). The same clip has been used in a ton of different contexts to make fun of some party or other. While the message might seem accurate, the subs in the video are as fake as Dolly Parton's *.
No worries, pilot! I'm happy to provide what I know.Edit: A bit of info on the guy in the video, for anyone interested.

Thank you. That makes complete sense. Basically, this clip is a container to deliver a message.
Who is the message for? Service provider or customer or both?
- 4 years ago@t1xx1 As with all these things, the idea is to get a fixed target group riled up in some fashion. In this particular version the subs ride the expressed disappointment on the player fanbase and takes it up to 11. It clearly reflects some of the worrisome critique shared about EA's and Respawn's handling of the issue on this forum, for instance, and since we're already heavily emotionally invested in this it triggers us. It's not entirely different from, say, The Onion. As for the intended receiver, I'd say it's for both parties. For the service provider it acts as a much needed slap in the face ("This is what the fanbase think of you - sort it out!") and for the customer it acts as a rallying cry ("This is how they treat you!"). Those are my two cents. What are your thoughts on this?
