 EA temporarily suspends FIFA content to investigate professional treason scandal by one of its employees

Someone from the company sells Ultimate Team content for real money.

EA has suspended content activity at FIFA 21 after a social media scandal that became known as FIFA Gate.

A company employee or someone associated with EA Sports is said to use the black market to sell rare FIFA 21 Ultimate Team content in exchange for real money.

EA said it had opened a serious and formal investigation to find out how something like this could happen and to settle the number of accounts that have acquired content in this illegal way and identify them, so when they confirm their identity with explicit evidence, they will permanently ban them.

In the case of nature, these internal contents can only be obtained through play or other interactions such as Twitch and can only be exchanged in this way through an official eA account, so in the company's opinion there is either a breach of one of its accounts or a person of its employees who uses its validity illegally, it violates all the principles and laws of the company and undermines the credibility and fairness of competition in the game.

Investigations so far have shown that the accounts of players involved in this legal breach are few in number, but they will still tolerate accountability.
