Yesterday there were many funny jokes and fake news articles in honor of April Fools. They ranged from the famous Youtuber Boogie2988 uploading a video that claimed he’d been allowed to play the first 30 minutes of Half -Life 3, but in reality was just a video of him eating celery for 30 minutes, to the reports that there would be DLC for an Optimus Prime Mech in Titanfall. All of these were funny and expected by gamers but it seems some folks at EA went a bit far with their prank. Some people at EA started sending Tweets from the Frostbite engine’s official account that made fun of Nintendo’s Wii U for being underpowered. The Tweetshave since been deleted but here are some of them: “Good news, we have finally fixed and optimized our ‘netcode’. Uses quantum entanglement for Zero Latency connections. Exclusively on #WiiU.” “Frostbite will power #HalfLife 3, coming out summer 2014! #WiiU exclusive.” “Frostbite now runs on the #WiiU since it is the most powerful Gen4 platform, our renderer is now optomized for Mario and Zelda.” It seems these jokes were not appreciated by the big wigs at EA and EA’s Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore apologized from his personal Twitter account, calling them “unacceptable” and “stupid.” EA has once again been nominated for Consumerists “Worst Company in America” award and after making history by winning it twice in a row, EA said it never wants the award again. This certainly wont help their cause.

EA obrisao negativne tweetove o Wii U konzoli Iz Electronic Artsa su zafrkanciju povodom 1. travnja, čini se uzeli malo preozbiljno. Danas su naime, preko Twittera nizom objava kritizirali Nintendovu Wii U konzolu. Glavnina “šala” je bila na račun slabe hardverske snage, te EA-ovog Frostbite enginea koji se ne može pokrenuti na Wii U konzoli. Ovo su neke od objava koje su bile sačuvane prije nego ih je EA obrisao: “Dobra vijest, napokon smo popravili i optimizirali naš “netcode”. Koristi kvantne veze za Zero Latency spajanja. Ekskluzivno na #WiiU.” “Frostbite će pokretati #Half Life 3, stiže na ljeto 2014! #WiiU ekskluziva.” “Frostbite sada radi na #WiiU zato jer je to najjača Gen4 platforma, naš engine je sada optimiziran za Maria i Zeldu.” Bilo ih je još, no ove su sačuvane prije nego su ih obrisali, a dok je prva pomalo tehnička i vjerojatno neće svima biti jasna (nije ni nama u potpunosti), svi će se sigurno složiti da uopće nisu smješne i da EA-u to svakako nije trebalo. Inače EA je kao izdavač podržavao Wii U nakon izdavanja konzole sa igrama kao što su Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Mass Effect 3 i FIFA 13, no nedugo nakon toga podrška za Nintendovu konzolu je u potpunosti nestala. Čisto za usporedbu EA je podržavao originalni Wii sa 78 igara kroz kompletni životni vijek konzole. Prošle je godine tehnički direktor Johan Andersson rekao kako je razlog manjka podrške Frostbite 3, primarni engine za EA-ove igre koji nikad nije radio za Wii U. Neka preliminarna testiranja su obavljena, ali rezultati “nisu bili obećavajući”, pa je developer “odustao od tog specifičnog puta razvoja”.
