Need for Speed Unbound won't call someone "milkshake brain" ever again
After a raucous spate of now-deleted tweets, the official Need For Speed Twitter account (opens in new tab) has woken up with a head full of regrets. After insulting a fan who criticised the upcoming Need For Speed: Unbound (opens in new tab), the account has posted an official apology and promised to do better, which presumably means it won't call someone "milkshake brain" ever again.
While we personally felt the community manager was being a little too rude in the examples embedded below, issuing a statement like this undermines the entire approach, and we imagine that’s the end of the account’s edginess now.
In short, the social media account got into a spat with Twitter user KyloZen0 over the three-day early Access deal, which resulted in the account calling KyloZen0 "milkshake brain." When KyloZen0 said he would no longer be purchasing Need for Speed Unbound after this interaction, the account responded, "not reading all that, sorry that happened to you or congratulations." Shortly after this, the account posted a tweet that some of its recent replies crossed the line and apologized to those who it upset. It didn't name KyloZen0, but it was obviously directed at them and those who felt that the insults went too far. Whereas accounts like Wendy's are crass, there's usually some humor in its mocking replies, whereas this was completely different.
It's not clear if the operator of the NFS Twitter page thought they were being endearingly cheeky, or if they were just fed up ministering to fan complaints and decided to go out in a blaze of glory. Either way, I can't imagine that exhorting a displeased potential buyer to "cry about it bro" is going to win any customer service awards in the near future.
