Like, yknow, if part of your hype reel is how many "real" firearms you can use and how "awesome" gunplay is? Maybe dial it back this year.

Like, I dunno... maybe if one of your showpieces could be called "this year's No Russian?" Might be prudent to save that for another day.

That's not "censorship," that's "don't fart at a funeral." Just a free thought from your occasionally precognitive pal.

EA have been a very active supporter of the LGBT community from what I know. I can't fathom they don't acknowledge this.
