Worst Company in America 2014 voting is about to open. Can reigning champions EA defend their title? - Polidicks

Why isn't google on the list?

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;44284525]There are some REALLY evil companies on this list. And when I say really evil, I mean the kind of companies that have execs that laugh and take pleasure in actual human suffering. For Christ's sake, Koch is on there. Seriously.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=ForgottenKane;44284594]As much as I dislike Walmart, they have nothing - and I mean NOTHING - on shit like the companies I've named earlier. Koch is a monster of a company that bribes politicians around the world, Monsanto is directly linked to the death of many innocent people, and Chase is one of the primary reasons why our economy collapsed back in 2008 and they still haven't changed. [editline]18th March 2014[/editline] I'm pretty certain Walmart isn't destroying our economy or killing people as far as I know.[/QUOTE] Koch brothers are indeed arguably one of the most evil folks nowadays, but walmart attempts to pretty much fuck workers in every possible way, have EXTREMELY widespread repercussions, they aren't saints by any means.

I vote Chase man worst bank EVER

Monsanto is so many leagues above even its nastiest competitors that it should be in some sort of heavyweight division of the contest. Anyone who's responsible for fucking [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange"][B][U]Agent Orange[/U][/B][/URL] (fourth paragraph) is a whole hell of a lot worse than some incompetent gaming companies, ISPs and banks. It's like putting Hitler in a lineup with greedy politicians, someone's racist grandpa and a Carebears villain. Hint, one of these things is a whole fucking lot more evil than the others.

Anywhere you know of where I can read about things they've done?

If I could, I'd vote for Delta. Aside from the free cookies, they're the absolute worst airline I've ever flow on. But I think I'll vote for Comcast instead. I'm not a fan of substandard Internet and TV, buying out a major television network, and being the only ISP option in my town.

Vote fucking Monsanto guys. Like morally they're possibly the most vile company on that list. (followed by koch)

[editline]18th March 2014[/editline] I'm pretty certain Walmart isn't destroying our economy or killing people as far as I know.[/QUOTE] I think their treatment of their employees is borderline human rights violations. They actively spread propaganda about stopping unionization, and are fighting as hard as they can so that they can give their employees as few rights as possible.

[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;44283094]They haven't done anything bad, [B]Titanfall was a success[/B], SimCity can now be played offline (just in time for this by the way), and BF4 is continually beta. EA has no choice but to give up its golden turd.[/QUOTE] 48 GB File size, 35 GB of just audio (every supportable language included), 13 GB actual game. The devs scrambled to make up some excuse (so you don't have to unpack audio) instead of actually fixing it pissing off the PC TitanFall community.

[QUOTE=redBadger;44284352]Only reason microsoft is on there is because people are still butthurt about w8. Shouldnt be up there imo[/QUOTE] I think they're up there for the Xbox One fiasco, actually.

[QUOTE=Paige;44284702]I was gonna post about walmart, actually, but i've not really heard anything about koch or monsanto.

Fuck Monsanto.

The anti-EA circlejerk will most likely continue, but I can also see a dark horse candidate in Sea World due to kneejerk reactions to a bleeding heart documentary. Regardless, actually horrible companies will not win.

I feel like one of the ISPs will come as a close second. ISPs have been scummier than ever this year, lobbying against net neutrality and shifting the blame and costs of [I]having an outdated, maintenance-lacking infrastructure that literally can't support the kind of traffic they advertise it can[/I] to consumers and service providers that compete with them. [QUOTE=JustGman;44283169][t]http://i.cubeupload.com/RNcfKJ.png[/t] EA is the only one who actually listen to these things, at least if they won they might think about what they're doing wrong. Does anyone really believe a huge bank will care about some internet poll?[/QUOTE] oh someone published a game with a target audience that's not you boo hoo

I have nothing better to do Plus I've been living under a Canadian rock fyi [t]http://i.imgur.com/Xi7LNVe.png[/t]

Take athletic off that list and put CenturyLink (Qwest) on it.

[QUOTE=Numpers;44284256]Thats why I voted for EA because its just a dumb poll and so many people get angry its hilarious[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;44284536]He has a point though. EA at least doesn't treat employees like cattle and they don't lobby to make the country go to fucking war.[/QUOTE] here's to hoping you two aren't thick headed enough to think that's real

The devs scrambled to make up some excuse (so you don't have to unpack audio) instead of actually fixing it pissing off the PC TitanFall community.[/QUOTE] That's not EA's fault IIRC. Titanfall devs had full creative control.

[QUOTE=redBadger;44284352]Only reason microsoft is on there is because people are still butthurt about w8. Shouldnt be up there imo[/QUOTE] Microsoft should definitely be up there. [url]http://www.scroogled.com/[/url]

[QUOTE=Bazsil;44283138]every single time EA has got it, they've responded to it and been affected by it and every time, there's people commenting on it complaining oh no we should totally give it to bank of america again, so that [i]nothing will happen at all[/i] because unlike EA they dont fucking care about some stupid online poll[/QUOTE] You make a good point. Banks don't fucking care and at least EA has the balls to bring up the subject of being worst company in America. I think it's good to vote EA worst company in America because hopefully that will motivate them to take actions that will subsequently improve their image. If EA actually does good, they come out better, but it is gamers that wins the most.

Just vote EA, really, no other company on this list is going to listen to it, really, you think Walmart and Time Warner Cable will care about what the internet thinks?

I've been reading up on Monsanto, they put some criminal organizations to shame. Pushing farmers to suicide through debt? Jesus.

I'm honestly curious why Paypal/Ebay are on the list of the worst companies. Did I miss out something?

I honestly don't think EA deserve it, they're shit but not as shit as one of the rest I recommend you all check out a Canadian documentary called "The Corporation", you get to know some interesting facts It's not always the CEO's who are the bad guys but it's mostly the people working inside of them who are evil, vote for the real scum

[QUOTE=latin_geek;44285278]here's to hoping you two aren't thick headed enough to think that's real[/QUOTE] Exaggerations aside, there are companies far, far worse than EA.

I've never been screwed over by EA and even when they shut down production on the next Command & Conquer, they actually gave a super understandable reason for it.

lol Sea World wtf

[QUOTE=BanMan123;44286757]lol Sea World wtf[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfish_(film)[/url]

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;44283761]Why would Microsoft Earn the worst company in America? You really think Microsoft deserves to win worst company in America vs. say, Monsanto or Wells Fargo?[/QUOTE] I personally don't think they're the worst but that's who I think will be voted for most due to overwhelming amount of gamers and kids voting.
