EA: The Worst Company in America.

[Tupin]

So, apparently EA beat out Wal-Mart, Bank of America, and AT&T to earn the title "Worst Company in America." Their response:

"We're sure that bank presidents, oil, tobacco and weapons companies are all relieved they weren't on the list this year. We're going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide."

I would be surprised if this weren't a response to Mass Effect 3. People should be complaining to Bioware...

Or maybe it has something to do with Origin being flat out retarded. The wording is appropriate. I'd usually go more in depth, but that description is far too fitting. Or maybe it has to do with the online pass bullpoop.

There are worse companies though.

That's what the intercourse ers get for turning off the LotR:BFME servers.

Oh, it's without a doubt the worst gaming company there is. At least Activision doesn't have Origin.

Whether or not it's worse than the companies that use sweatshop labor, lie about service, or try to scam customers, is debatable.

[Zero]

They have a similar DLC model to Namco and Capcom + Online Passes and Origin. While these business practices might not be "scams" they're still on the border.

Sweatshop labor is pretty bad, won't lie. Can't argue with that.

its funny how often these two companies switch places

[Neerb]

What makes you think EA doesn't use sweatshops? How do you think all that game-related merchandise gets made?

As for worst company of the year, I couldn't really say; I haven't purchased an EA game in a while, and while the online passes and DLC these days are down right idiotic, EA's far from the only culprit. Heck, Capcom seems to do all the same stuff, only their DLC costs up to $40 a pop and they've actually boycotted their own mascot.

It bugs me how smug they seem about the whole thing.

Anyways, I wouldn't go as far as naming them the worst company out there, but it's sure that they're not one of the better companies. They have a lot of tendencies to be money grubbing, arrogant, and shady towards their customers.

Blame NeoGAF for messing up the results. I wish Apple or At&t had won. :(
