EA has come under increasing criticism this weekend after it was suggested that the developer was planning to introduce advertising into games like EA FC 24.

Comments from CEO Andrew Wilson revealed that EA is working on adding more "dynamic" ads to AAA titles ahead of a weekend in which EA FC 24 players faced a host of issues.
Those lucky enough to complete their Champions matches on Friday were given an incredible amount of luck in their lives, with Paris Saint-Germain duo Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele guaranteed rewards in what EA described as “unintended outcomes”.
Readers on X (formerly Twitter) immediately added context to the post, suggesting that “EA had lowered their odds because it would force players to open packs with real money,” marking the beginning of a flood of criticism.
