http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/04/04/ea-wins-quot-worst-company-in-america-quot-award.aspx

Quote:
The website Consumerist recently held a tournament-style campaign where fans could vote for what they think is the worst company in America. Publisher Electronic Arts won.

EA beat out Bank of America for the honor in the final round of voting. "After more than 250,000 votes, Consumerist readers ultimately decided that the type of greed exhibited by EA, which is supposed to be making the world a more fun place, is worse than Bank of America's avarice, which some would argue is the entire point of operating a bank," the website said....CONTINUED


You know people hate you when you beat Bank Of America in a "worst of" contest

“We’re sure that bank presidents, oil, tobacco and weapons companies are all relieved they weren’t on the list this year," EA said in a statement sent to Game Informer. "We’re going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide.”
The butthurt, it is amazing! Laughing

In the last few years they seemed like they were on the right track, with investing in new IPs and everything. Then they started bastardizing Bioware, Syndicate and such. Well deserved award.

How did EA beat some of the other companies on this list?
How did that list not include a company like Monsanto?

EA's practice with DRM and DLC is horrible, yes, but how is it worse than what some of the other companies in that poll have done?
It just feels like we're losing perspective if we elect EA as being the worst of the worse.

But hey, on the bright side : Fuck EA and may they learn something (nah, they won't) from this.

Note : I would still rank EA as being not as bad as other video game companies, like Activision or Atari.
At least EA produces a few good games that make you WISH they wouldn't screw you over.

Using Vaifan's brilliant metaphor, Activision is like a fat pig who shits always in the same place (the Call of Duty franchise) while EA is like a bully pigeon who shits on everyone's heads Laughing

Eh, bit of a bullshit 'award' if EA won it.

Their response of Haliburton or any number of other horrible Earth destroying companies was a good point.
