In reply to a fan that criticized their wording, an argument went off the rails and resulted in the Need for Speed Twitter account calling a fan \u201cmilkshake brain\u201d and telling them to \u201ccry about it\u201d. Need for Speed Twitter account insults \u201cmilkshake brain\u201d fan The user questioning Need for Speed\u2019s initial tweet, KyloZen0, criticized their approach to writing the announcement for their upcoming game. \u201cHold on \u2013 what did we ask for and what did you listen to, exactly?
