The record-breaking comment was made in response to a Reddit thread of users voicing their complaints about the $4, "Star Wars: Battlefront 2." The video game, and game-maker EA, faced criticism for implementing "loot boxes" full of added features, which players could pay for in order to get an advantage in the game - $4 in the gaming community.
One of the big gripes was that the game required in-game credits, which cost money, $4: Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader. The $4 was started with a player questioning why he paid $80 for the game to have Darth Vader cost more money to access.
EA responded that unlocking characters was designed to give players "a sense of pride and accomplishment," and thanked fans for their "candid feedback." Evidently, users weren't happy with the response, and downvoted the EA comment en masse.

It seems that the EA comment is safe to live in world-record infamy for now. $4 only has under 89,000 downvotes, thanks to a Reddit user literally asking people to downvote the comment.
