Kurt ‘Kurt0411’ Fenech banned from all EA games, online services

YouTuber Kurt ‘Kurt0411’ Fenech has been banned from all EA games and corresponding online services, the publisher today confirmed.

“In November 2019, after a series of Code of Conduct violations as part of the EA SPORTS FIFA Global Series in which he threatened employees and other players, Kurt0411 was banned from competing or attending any EA SPORTS FIFA 20 Global Series events or future competitions,” EA said in a statement.

“Since that time, Kurt has continued to post abusive and threatening messages and videos about EA employees and competitive players on social media and he has encouraged others to do the same. His messages have crossed a line of decency into very personal attacks and breach our Terms of Service. We will not tolerate threatening behaviour. As a result, today Kurt0411’s EA account will be banned from playing our games and accessing our services due to these serious and repeated violations.”

Here are a couple examples of Fenech’s past behaviour.
