EA has addressed its public silence on abortion rights, as the US Supreme Court decides whether to controversially overturn the country’s key Roe v Wade ruling.
That decision, if made, would plunge a swathe of US states into a situation where legal abortion was once again largely unavailable – and it’s a situation several US-based game companies have spoken out about.
EA, as with the majority of companies, has not. Nor has it publicly made a specific statement on legal issues threatening transgender rights, which are ongoing in several states. Now, speaking via a town hall meeting leaked to Kotaku, its chief people officer Mala Singh was asked why.
