As you probably already know, EA servers were down in the last few days. While this is never looked upon kindly by users, this time around the uproar was even more vehement. Everyone is currently stuck at home, trying to pass the days without losing their marbles. Gaming has been one of the best avenues to do exactly that. Subsequently, when the servers crashed, people lost their minds, and Snoop Dogg was prominent among them.
One look at EA’s Twitter handle is enough to understand they’re in panic overdrive mode. The rage of a thousand gamers has rained down on them in the past few days, as people have to cope without gaming in these times of social distancing.
EA is home to some of the most popular games in the industry. This is true especially when it comes to online gaming with titles like FIFA 20, Battlefield 5, Star Wars are immensely popular anyways, but even more so now. Even their gaming platform, Origins, suffered some issues.

Snoop Dogg calls out EA, Bill Gates, and Microsoft
Soon enough, users’ patience ran out and they were up in arms over it. Possibly the most prominent among them all was a global icon and American rapper, Snoop Dogg. Miffed at EA, he took to his Instagram to launch a tirade against EA as well as Bill Gates and Microsoft.
Check out the video below. Be warned, it’s expletive-laden, but then again that’s hardly surprising coming from the legendary rapper.
Snoop called out Microsoft even though they had nothing to do with the issues, possibly because he owns an Xbox. And poor old Bill Gates is no longer an active member of Microsoft, but Snoop Dogg does not give a damn.
We're currently looking into the issues affecting our services. If you can't play online, access Origin or EA Help, we're on it.

It is easy to understand Snoop’s frustration and perhaps a big name like him speaking out helped accelerate the process too. Soon after his short monologue, the servers were back up!
Snoop Dogg just keeps on giving, doesn’t he?
