EA writer Andy Masley calls out tech author Mike Pepi for repeatedly insulting him while supplying his biggest ratios on X.
Screenshots reveal the substance: Pepi mocked Masley's "data centers are good" blogs after the issue "got trounced at the polls," calling his audience an "EA Co-efficient giving cult." Masley replied he wrote them because the claim is true regardless of voter belief, that it made his blog one of the most visible EA voices in the world, and that his real goal was building a smart audience — video would've been the tool for persuasion. The spat continued over whether critics can imagine holding unpopular opinions, ending with Masley's "Mike Peepee."
