Trymacs will not stream EA Sports FC 25. He announced this – in a special way.
Because Trymacs uploaded a video to his main channel, the title of which suggests exactly the opposite. It is called “25,000 Opening! That’s why I’m bringing back FIFA.” But it is not what it seems.
Gambling at EA Sports FC 25: “I want to keep my community out of it”
Trymacs said a year ago that he would no longer be doing EA Sports FC aka Fifa streams. The reasoning is the same this year.

Trymacs does not want to confront his younger fans in particular with this type of content.

For those who don’t know: In the game you can, among other things, purchase player packs for real money in order to build a team.
Trymacs is being celebrated by the community for the video move. Top comments include “the best clickbait I’ve seen so far” and “Clickbait used to attack FIFA, we love it”.
The player packs are so-called loot boxes. Experts are very critical of them. In some countries they are even banned:
