Apparently EA is up for 'Worst company in America'

[Christovski]

Interesting article about EA being nominated for worst company, and how they reacted in such stupid fashion as they always do to defend their garbage business practices.

Honestly they have been churning out shit lately, the only reason I have Origin is because I needed to finish Mass Effect.

Too bad they aren't taking the criticism seriously, instead responding 'well we are making money so someone likes it' otherwise they might learn something and go back to releasing games that are fun like back in the day (way back in the day)

Big companies always seem to put profits before quality products I guess.

Are they honestly the worst company in America?

Sure they treat us like shit, and force us to have always online DRM but I think there are many companies that do worse things, like the banks, big oil and whatnot. EA only really effects consumers (and their employees), while some other companies effect hundreds of thousands of people and the environment around them, that have nothing to do with the company.

This is really old.

They've already won Worst Company in America  (edit: last year) lol

Yeah I did find it odd they are being repetetively nominated for worst company EVER I mean worst game company yeah but they ain't as bad as some. 

I hate EA but they aren't as bad as that oil company that fucked up their oil well and polluted the shit out of the gulf coast

That's BP.

And apparently bad video games are worse than dead animals and billions of lost dollars.

And the bankruptcy caused by Bank of America, too.

Oh it was BP right, BP British Petroleum is not an American company so they could not be nominated for this.

I remember when call of duty was actually good. I always use to play CoD: United Offensive, its the only CoD game where you can get in tanks. And for those of you who don't know it is an expansion to the Call of Duty.

[Old Crow]

You could use tanks in Call of Duty:World at war Muffins :\

[Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!)]

Plus Cod is activision...

Honestly it's pathetic how a video game company can be considered worse than the private military companies which commit sanctioned murder.

That's more because most people don't know about those guys.

Honestly I'm more interested in EA's response as detailed in that article when EA is just bullshitting about how people hate them

and CoD 3 i believe too

I'd say the only reason why they are even considered is because of all the bad press they have gotten due to SimCity, DS3 and other things lately. That and because its the internet, people see EA and think 'Evil'!

I'm sure if this was a professional study it would be way different, because at the end of the day EA is just a video game company.

A terrible Video game company that's ruined several franchise and bastardized several games. But still, just a video game company.

B-but they eat babies! Does BP eat babies? I THINK NOT!

You guys left out something for why EA is the worst. They actively ruin peoples lives. Part of a successful business or team and EA looks at you? Unless your Gabe Newell you might as well pack up.
