The player Kurt 'Kurt0411 will not be able to compete in any video game of the American company for breaking the code of conduct.
Kurt 'Kurt0411' Fenech may not compete in FIFA 20 or any other Electronic Arts title. This has been determined by the company in a statement published on the social network Twitter. The professional player was already reprimanded in November for lashing out at employees and other players, according to EA. “In November 2019, since violating the EA Sports FIFA Global Series Code of Conduct by threatening employees and other players, Kurt0411 was prohibited from competing or attending any EA Sports FIFA 20 Global Series event or future competitions,” They explain in the statement.
The American company asserts that its conduct has not changed at all. "Since then, Kurt has continued to post abusive and threatening messages on videos and social networks about EA employees and professional players, as well as encouraging others to do the same." According to EA, his messages have "crossed the line of decency," since his "personal attacks" have broken the Terms of Service. "We will not tolerate this threatening behavior." Therefore, the Kurt0411 account has been suspended and you will not be able to enjoy any EA game or its services.
Electronic Arts recalled that they design video games for people to enjoy, but abuse and harassment have no place in the environment they have created. “We have a constant focus on the creation of communities where everyone feels safe and respected, which includes prevention tools against“ toxic in-game ”behaviors, as well as other systems to moderate the experience. Americans have also stressed that they are open to feedback and criticism, as long as they are constructive.

The player defends a conspiracy theory
Kurt 'Kurt0411', meanwhile, has been against and has published a hostile message on its social networks, since it has lashed out at EA for considering that its expulsion is because they do not want it to exceed the number 1 in visits. "In the end I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said," defends the player. “This is deeper than anyone thinks. They don't want me competing in events because they are scared that I would win them. Now I am the second biggest streamer of their game and they are terrified that it surpasses their golden boy. They have the money, but we have the numbers. Fuck them and all who are on their side, ”he concludes.
FIFA 20 is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. The hybrid version of Kyoto is a Legacy Edition, so it only introduces the new templates and signings, but not the unpublished features of the other versions.
