EA has put in-game ads into EA Sports UFC 4 a few weeks after release, and its fans are not happy about it.

Reddit user Ydino shared a clip of the in-game ads, which do seem intrusive, and they note that it was added “a month after it’s [sic] release so it wasn’t talked about in reviews.”

Additionally, Ydino brings up that UFC 4 is a $60 game and not a free-to-play title that is using ads in lieu of charging the player an entry fee.

This particular clip features marketing from Amazon’s The Boys’ second season. There is a full-screen advertisement during replays, its logo appears on the octagon, and it also appears above the timer on the bottom of the screen.

EA Sports UFC 4 was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 14, 2020. In our review of UFC 4, we said “is a largely iterative sequel that tightens up some looser parts, makes a few smart tweaks here and there, and doesn’t rock the boat all that much. And in that sense, it’s a success. Longstanding problems still remain in the ground game and some dated visuals, but without any competition for the title, EA Sports UFC 4 still remains the king of combat sports.”

At launch, UFC 4 did feature microtransactions in the form of an in-game currency called UFC Points. These UFC Points can be used to buy cosmetic items, but have no impact on the game. Additionally, there were brands featured on the octagon, but the full-screen ads recently seen were not.

Yesterday, WarnerMedia issued a statement regarding the third-party investigation into Justice League Ray Fisher’s claims that director Joss Whedon ran a toxic, hostile set, alleging that Fisher “refused to meet with their third party investigator to discuss the case.”

This was a response to Fisher’s statements about former DC Films co-chairs Geoff Johns and Jon Berg enabling Whedon’s alleged bad behavior and Johns reprimanding Fisher for complaining up the chain.

You can read WarnerMedia’s full statement here.

This morning, Fisher, taking to Twitter, insisted that he did, in fact, cooperate with the investigation while also calling the investigation’s independence into question. Check it out…

Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power.

I met with the investigator via Zoom on Aug 26th. Below is an email I sent to my team and @sagaftra immediately after:

Fisher wrote “Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power. I met with the investigator via Zoom on Aug 26th. Below is an email I sent to my team and @sagaftra immediately after.”

“It’s also worth noting that I made it clear to the world on Aug 21st that I would be vetting the investigator to ensure a fair and protected process for all witnesses. @wbpictures has escalated this to an entirely different level, but I’m ready to meet the challenge.”

In the email Fisher sent to his team, and to SAG-AFTRA, Fisher suspected the investigator “had been put on the case by Warner Bros. Pictures not Warner Media” and noted that someone else was on the call he’d not been made aware of beforehand.

More on the case as it develops…

Arasaka’s number one competitor is the American security corporation known as Militech. Here’s a brief look into the company’s history.

When the remasters for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 were announced, I’m sure we all instantly thought, “Hell yeah, this is gonna be a wild nostalgia trip,” hoping developer Vicarious Visions could nail the look and feel of the original games again. I even wrote about how the announcement itself made me recollect on the real-world cultural impact of THPS. Now that I’ve been able to spend time with the full game, it turns out it’s so much more than a nostalgia trip.

It does indeed recapture the spirit of those 20+ year old games. Between the faithful gameplay with proper physics and controls and the recreation of skateparks with our favorite tunes from yesteryear, you get exactly what you’d hoped. But THPS 1 + 2 Remastered also used this as an opportunity to represent a new era of skating, reintroducing us to the sport and culture as a reflection of what it is now.

You see this in the roster of playable skaters. It’s dope that I can play as middle-aged versions of Tony Hawk, Kareem Campbell, and my personal favorite, Eric Koston, again. However, in my several hours with THPS 1 + 2 Remastered, I’ve gravitated towards the new skaters who have reinvigorated my appreciation and understanding for skate culture. I’m looking up skate tapes, competition footage, and interviews from Tyshawn Jones, Lizzie Armanto, Aori Nishimura, and Leo Baker–all of whom are now my favorites to play as and watch.
