Need for Speed Unbound's social media account recently got caught up in a spat
Need for Speed Unbound's social media account recently got caught up in a spat with a fan that went viral online, with some enjoying the fact that Need for Speed Unbound has no chill but others highlighting how inappropriate it was to directly insult a fan. Following this altercation, the social media account has posted a status apologizing and promising to be better.
The exchange that prompted the apology took place last Monday, after a fan complained about an offer for Need For Speed: Unbound that gave players who pre-ordered 3 days' early access to the game. The NFS Twitter account responded in a, ah, less-than-decorous way, telling the fan to "cry about it bro or buy regular price idc," before eventually declaring "I'm not reading all that, sorry that happened to you or congratulations".
The new Need for Speed game has adopted a rebellious, urban theme – and it looks like EA is trying to play up to that with its community engagement strategy. It’s certainly a unique approach, and one we wouldn’t be surprised to see adopted by other brands. Personally, we think the social media manager is just being outright rude in this instance – but hey, it’s generating headlines.
It followed up by promising to be better and that it will see its fans on Need for Speed Unbound's release date, if not beforehand. While the account did clearly go too far, many do enjoy the way it interacts with its fanbase, and hopefully, this is just a lesson learned for everyone involved in the account. After all, the apology does seem to be genuine and not just simply crisis management.
Need For Speed: Unbound releases next week on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It looks alright in gameplay we've seen so far, although those cars definitely seem to handle like toys, which could displease the racing purists out there. They look like toys, too, but that's less of a problem since you can turn off the sparkly effects if they're too "anime" for you. I wouldn't do that, though. Seems like a milkshake brain move.
