EA must reconsider its FIFA goals | Podcast

The latest episode of our podcast is available to download now, and somehow, we're not talking about next-gen consoles.

In response to that, Brendan has published an editorial exploring EA's refusal to admit its games dabble in gambling while it simultaneously struggles to make its game acceptable to potental regulators. It's this editorial that Brendan, Matt, Chris, and Rebekah unpack, alongside discussion of the FIFA franchise's steadily dwindling approval from critics and players alike.
