Let's be honest, it really is not in EA or Sony's best interests to have the PS4 accused of instability problems when it comes to online gaming. So now wonder EA withdrew that accusation. In a world where AAA games are so teeth-grindingly boring that people are giving up buying them in favour of imaginative and cost-effective indie games, it EA needs as many sales channels as it can get for its monoliths and the PS4 is a sales channel. So, what happened?
According to
Polygon: "The PlayStation 4's day-one firmware update is responsible for "stability issues" across all games, according to a post on Electronic Arts' support site." But wait?
"The message on EA's Help site about the PlayStation 4's day-one software update causing instability in PS4 games was "posted in error," said an EA representative in an email to Polygon. The spokesperson pointed PS4 users to Sony's support website for information on the PS4"!
Nooo! Yes! " EA has since taken down that page on its support site, but we captured a screenshot that you can see below."
So, let's believe everybody.
