An alleged crypto mining farm turned to out to be an alleged FIFA Coin mining farm, highlighting the ridiculousness of EA’s sprawling microtransaction economy. As players “skip the grind” in less legal ways, Electronic Arts continues a years-long struggle against the FIFA black market. It’s a struggle EA deserves.
