After the disciplinary notice of November 8 the lawsuit between the Pro Player Kurt0411 and Electronic Arts has not subsided, indeed the unpleasant episodes generated by the Maltese have increased in the last three months.
For these reasons, the Canadian software house has decided to block Kurt‘s account for life and to exclude it from the community as well as from the official competitions of the FIFA series.
Below the complete press release:
EA In November 2019, after a series of Code of Conduct violations as part of the EA SPORTS FIFA Global Series in which he threatened employees and other players, Kurt0411 was banned from competing or attending any EA SPORTS FIFA 20 Global Series events or future competitions.
Since that time, Kurt has continued to post abusive and threatening messages and videos about EA employees and competitive players on social media and he has encouraged others to do the same.
His messages have crossed a line of decency into very personal attacks and breach our Terms of Service. We will not tolerate threatening behavior. As a result, today Kurt0411‘s EA account will be banned from playing our games and accessing our services due to these serious and repeated violations.
We build games and communities for players to have fun. Creating a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone without fear of harassment or abuse is a vital part of that. Our Terms of Service include a Code of Conduct that we ask players to abide by to keep our communities healthy and safe. We have an ongoing focus to create communities where everyone feels safe and respected, including in-game toxicity reporting tools as well as new moderation tools. And, we will continue to add more features.
We are open to feedback, and constructive criticism is always welcome. We encourage anyone who would like to share their thoughts on our games and services to visit our official EA Forums, as well as our Trello Boards and Discord channels.
When feedback crosses the line to threatening, personal attacks, we will take action to move it out of our communities.
FIFA 20 is available from September 27, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch. Keep on following us also through our social Facebook and Twitter for other news and information.
