IT'SGAMETIME
Tomorrow, we had committed to celebrating Madden NFL 21 with you, but we're not going to do that now.
We stand with our African American / Black community of friends, players, colleagues and partners. Our immediate attention is on actions we can take to drive change against the unjust treatment and systemic bias that is plaguing the nation and our world.
We'll find another time to talk football with you. Because this is bigger than a game, bigger than sports, and needs all of us to stand together and commit to change.

Ignorance sure is bliss, eh. Daniel Shaver thought the same. Get outside more.

True. But it's also in bad taste to hold celebratory product launches at a moment when the US, at least, feels as though it's spinning apart into anarchy and despair. As a New Yorker, I've been stuck in a 1 bedroom, 400 sqft apartment for three months, and last night I was kept awake by the sound of looting two blocks away. This is an extremely anxious moment, and I'm one of the lucky ones who still has a job/apartment/income/healthcare and whose skin color basically gives me a free pass when interacting with police.

Actually there are a lot of "good" people in the corps, it is just in the end the CEO and board will talk.

Madden hasn't been on PC in ages I thought?

Let’s be real here they did this because it draws more headlines to do this then to reveal the actual game.
