EA responds to FIFA 19 Futmas debacle, says the advertising wasn't intended

As goes the story with EA and Nintendo fans, we have another example of too little, too late. A few days back, we posted about EA's in-game promotion for FIFA 19 that advertised 'Futmas' content that doesn't appear in the Switch version. Fans were left confused as to how this advertisement was shown in the Switch version when EA never intended to release the content. Even Nintendo themselves promoted the campaign on Twitter, as they clearly believed the content to be included in the game. EA has finally responded to the issue, and gave a very straightforward and lackluster response.

"It looks as though the messaging that was showing on your [Switch] console wasn't intended. We're now working to have it removed (if it wasn't already). There won't be Advent Player SBCs on Nintendo Switch. I know this isn't the news you wanted but wanted to let you know as soon as possible."

Why it took EA so long to simply state that it was a mistake is beyond me. It's almost like Nintendo fans are an afterthought...
