EA declared "Worst Company in America"

Now if you ask me, a better name for this would be "Most Disliked Company"... but still, if you ask me, EA just doesn't care.

Re: EA declared "Worst Company in America"
Meh, reading the criticism of EA Games on Wikipedia, I kind of have to agree with what this article says, but I never ever really play any games made by EA, so I wouldn't know any of the problems that it causes people.

Re: EA declared "Worst Company in America"
Really? EA is hated more than the oil companies that are raking in zillions with people paying $4+ per gallon at the same time proving oil is not getting scarce? I'm curious what the train of thought was for choosing *worst company in America*
That being said, I don't play any games made by EA anyways so not sure what caused them to be all mad at Electronic Arts

Aw man i remember when this was FIRST announced while i was on livestream watching videogame streams when someone posted what happened. Ea's stocks plummeted like a rock.

Re: EA declared "Worst Company in America"
Yeah, I E-mailed their support group saying that I lost my CD key for a game, complete with photo proof that I have physical copies of the game...
They said "Sorry, we don't send out CD keys."
After that, it was like "fuck you too EA."

Heh, companied like EA are the reason of why pirates don't feel any guilt when they UP their games at warez sites. Their ``Once we have your cash, you're not worth our time´´ policy is what has angered plenty o' ppl.

Re: EA declared "Worst Company in America"
I looked at some of the criticism for EA, and came to this conclusion: EA got arrogant and forgot why they were there in the first place, you tick off the customer, you lose business, and then...no more company (a local store did that, they changed things around, ticked off the customers who were like *why did you change something that wasn't broken?! and after about a year after this *nessacary change* the company went kaput)

EA defended Mass Effect agains Faux News that one time.Flare wrote:EA: The VG company equivelent to Fox News.
But yeah, I see this from the perspective of a Command and Conquer fan. They made irreversible changes to C&C. They killed Westwood, Origin, Bullfrog and others I may not know.

Re: EA declared "Worst Company in America"
I like the fact that its voted the worst company in America when its a UK company and Britain should be the judge of that . But let me say EA to me was a good company in the past with the Command and Conquer Game series, however today I will agree about being a bad gaming company. But its not the worst lets look at Square Enix all their new games from 2010 have to me being bad, unimpressive, not be loyal to their game series or be imaginative. *sighs* Ok rant over.
