Maybe some tweets are better left in your drafts EA makes fun of singleplayer games angers developers 5 July 2022 by Rosalie Newcombe EA made an attempt at the meme over on its Twitter account and developers of singleplayer games aren’t happy. Originating from Tiktok, the ‘she’s a 10’ meme has recently gained popularity on Twitter. Starting as a rating game, it’s since become a way to joke about flaws a seemingly perfect person could have. For example, “they’re a 10 but they don’t get their gaming news from GameByte.com.”Whenever a meme gets popular it’s bound to be used by companies on their official social media channels to appeal to their audience and communities.

They’re a 10 but they only like playing single-player games- Electronic Arts (@EA) June 30, 2022 EA made an attempt at the meme over on their Twitter account posting, “They’re a 10 but they only like playing singleplayer games.” Although the intention was just to make a joke and join in on the meme, many were angered by the tweet. Those annoyed by EA’s attempt at the popular meme included not just fans but developers too.Amongst the responses, many have been quick to point out that a lot of EA’s successes in recent years have been single-player games. The Sims 4, most recently announced its 12th expansion pack ‘High School Years’ and still generates a hugely popular fanbase as a single-player game.ADVERT ADVERT Love Island Fan’s Recreation Of The Villa in Sims 4 Is Amazing Vince Zampella, head of Respawn Entertainment simply replied with a face palm emoji.
