[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;35435138]Good, I don't know that any of those other companies blatantly hate and rip off their customers like EA. Yeah, a $5 debit card fee is bad, but is it worse than ripping content out of a game so you can sell it on day 1 for an extra $10? Or pulling your games from every other distribution service to force people to install your spyware to play? Or charging people to play used games online?[/QUOTE]Oh boo fucking hoo, EA is the fucking second coming of christ compared to walmart and BoA. The fact how you fucking think a video game company has had a greater impact than the world's largest and financially destructive companies makes me severely question your grip on reality.
woah woah holy shit are people defending EA woah now hold up woah baby
[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;35435655]woah woah holy shit are people defending EA woah now hold up woah baby[/QUOTE] No one is defending EA just saying that there are plenty of worse companies. Which is true. If you aren't a sheltered gamer.
But even if BOA won this title, what help does it do? This title is pointless and no one will give a shit after this. Nothing will change. Not even earning the shit company title will make the company change. What you think winning the oscar will make the actor a better person? No Awards means anything

So did you guys see EA's Shares? [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/ixqicy.jpg[/IMG]
It's just a fucking poll asking for your personal fucking opinion. Why the fuck are you guys taking this so terribly serious? It's asking people what company they personally dislike the most, and most of the people who voted personally disliked EA the most. I'm not saying Bank of America is a good company, but I personally don't hate them as much as I hate EA. If this poll was in any way something that was actually important and could change the world for the better, I would probably study all the companies before I voted, and the votes would probably last for more than a day and would not be hosted on an entertainment website... however it doesn't matter in the fucking slightest what you vote, it's just asking what company you from your personal experience dislike the most... and most people obviously dislike EA from personal experience. I've been disregarding most of your arguments about Bank of America in this thread, mostly because I simply don't give a damn about someone acting too serious when they're arguing about a fucking poll about personal opinion. Arguing is fine and I enjoy a casual discussion like that, but I do not react well to any form of hostility. Let me put it like this... If we sit down to have lunch together, I don't mind if we discuss why you personally don't enjoy the same thing I'm eating and vice versa. If you however decide to take a shit on my plate because you don't like what I'm eating, I will stop having lunch with you, and make it my goal to fucking force-feed you with it.
EA is a shit company sure, but I'm not sure if it's the worst. There are some SERIOUSLY scummy companies out there.
[QUOTE=plokoon9619;35437929]So did you guys see EA's Shares? [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/ixqicy.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Damn man just shows what a poll can do to the company.
I personally dislike EA the most because the effects of what they've done have been more apparent to me than the effects of what BoA has done. It affects me more, so I voted for EA being the worst company. Seriously, this poll, just like almost any poll, is about personal opinion. And the poll is already over, so why are you people bothering to try to change everyone's mind now anyway?
[QUOTE=tratzzz;35428260]It is not long until there are only 4 major game companies left. EA, Ubisoft, Activision and Valve. Might even lose one of them.[/QUOTE] and Rockstar, and many others hope we lose Activism and EA
I hope we don't, I like ea games.
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35441197]I hope we don't, I like ea games.[/QUOTE] I personally would love to see EA shut down and all the developers they've had under their thumbs pop back up in new companies.
[QUOTE=CommieTurtle;35441217]I personally would love to see EA shut down and all the developers they've had under their thumbs pop back up in new companies.[/QUOTE] Most likely they'd go under from lack of funding.
No, not the worst company in America. Worst Videogame company? Perhaps. They're tie-ing with Activision at the moment, in my opinion.
If you guys really want to have your voice heard over at EA, here is a tip. DON'T BUY SIMCITY 5 or DRAGON AGE 3 or DEAD SPACE 3 or even FIFA 2013 and see what happens.

But I hate EA enough to share your sentiment.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35442249]trying to break down monopolies is bad??[/QUOTE] Well they're not coming with something new and fresh to the table OR lower prices, so yeah, they're bad.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;35444075]I think this comes down to interpretation of the poll. But I hate EA enough to share your sentiment.[/QUOTE] There is no interpretation of the poll. If you think any video game company, including EA, is worse than Bank of America, you are wrong. You are demonstrably wrong. You are morally wrong. That's a fact, and cloaking your ignorance in the shield of "But it's my opinion" doesn't work when the cold hard facts show that Bank of America fucked over more people with real consequences then your shitty video game drama. It's like saying a pickpocket is worse than a serial murderer because you didn't get murdered and no one you know got murdered but that pickpocket stole a $20 from you.
EA sucks esspecialy cause they wont let you change your username D: [editline]5th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35442249]trying to break down monopolies is bad??[/QUOTE] Depends who it is.

[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;35427179]Worst Company In America? That sounds a bit hyperbolic. . .There's no way they're worse than Bob's Rapewagon Emporium & Ether Candy Supply Outlet in Biloxi, Mississippi.[/QUOTE] I live in Biloxi, we don't have either one of those. You're thinking of D'Iberville.

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;35427302]I honestly believe ME3 would have been better if Bioware wasn't under EA. It's also teue about indie developers. Remember when EA was trying to "suggest" that Minecraft could use a publisher, and Notch told told them to shove off?[/QUOTE] I think that's a bit of a stretch.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35442249]trying to break down monopolies is bad??[/QUOTE] Trying to break down monopolies is a good thing when it's done by offering a better service overall, and Origin isn't even trying to do that. EA's tactic to attract customers is to force them into installing and creating an Origin account by removing their main games from any other digital service except their own. No surprise they claimed Origin was on a good way, reaching 9,3 million users - the week BF3 launched, how surprising! [I]These players probably felt origin was much better than Steam and signed up because of how top quality the thing was - and EA's customer support is reputated as perfect after all![/I]
