EA believes in the power of positive play and that being part of a gaming community should be safe, fair, inclusive and meaningful for all. The guidelines in its Positive Play Charter are key to making sure players can trust that its games and services are enjoyable for anyone. Additionally, EA’s Ping System provides an effective alternative for players to communicate and avoid potentially unwanted chat that may expose them to toxic or inappropriate content. Originally developed by Respawn for its battle royale game, Apex Legends, EA has granted game developers free access to the patent for the ping system as part of EA’s accessibility patent pledge.
