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

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;44284297]I don't see King.com up there, you'd figure they would be after all they shit they've done this year so far.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=SonicXV;44288050]King should have EA's spot.[/QUOTE] They're not American, technically.

I still never understand why Target is always on this list but Best Buy isn't and I've worked for both. Target is heaven compared to best buy.

i don't care if i get rated dumb i hope EA gets it again

why is target even on here. target is huge in workers' rights and protections.

[QUOTE=Ridley;44283152]Verizon. [/QUOTE] Personally I think it's a tossup between Verizon and Comcast. Verizon's fucking lawyers got net neutrality dismantled by the courts, and Comcast wants to merge with Time Warner and force millions more people into their monopoly. Fuck both of them.

Why is EA even on this list? They're games really aren't that bad, and they play better than most. forced DRM? Doesn't steam do that? If you didn't save your password, you pretty much are locked out of your games if you are without internet. Monsanto should win, just because they are the worst company on there.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;44289122]I like how in that movie everybody told him what he was doing was dumb and that he wasn't proving anything, but he still did it anyway.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;otI813hkMqc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otI813hkMqc[/video]

Comcast, because their services are awful Wal-Mart because it's a massive disgusting joke

[QUOTE=Rika-chan;44283188]Apple not on bracket 0/10[/QUOTE] Why vote for Apple? :v:

I reckon it'll turn out being EA and Microsoft to battle it out.

Walmart or Seaworld, based on what I've heard.

[QUOTE=Ownederd;44292316]why is target even on here. target is huge in workers' rights and protections.[/QUOTE] Probably cause of the mass credit card theft and the complete lack of security in that regard, but despite that one black mark it isn't really enough for me. People shouldn't brush off Verizon either, they're one of the biggest if not the biggest advocates and lobbyists on killing net neutrality Delta is also a terrible company imo, my Dad worked with NWA before and after it merged with Delta. When it merged they installed a new director to oversee the operation in Minnesapolis who completley ruined 30 years of perfection in just a few months. When they have to call Atlanta they have a tradition of wearing a tinfoil hat to stop them from sucking their neural energy when they talk on the phone cause they're so fucking dumb.

[QUOTE=ironman17;44290830]What about Monsato? Those guys could almost be described as environmental terrorists with all their bullshit seed-licensing. They lost to Wells Fargo? What the fuck are Wells Fargo?[/QUOTE] Wells Fargo is a big bank in the US who have been right cheeky cunts.

[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] Monsanto can win worst company in America 10 years in a row and it will never change a thing. EA wins it once or twice and they react and do stuff about it. You just gotta be pragmatic.

[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;44283094]They haven't done anything bad, Titanfall was a success, 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] And then Dungeon Keeper for iOs happened

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;44288910]Watch vvvvvviiiiddddeeeeeooooogaaàaaaaaaames win over a company that has literally killed people.[/QUOTE] you do realize this is a silly poll and not something for reals right? We are blessed just to have EA respond for reals, when I am pretty sure none of those other companies would ever respond to or acknowledge it, and no news site would report on it (gaming news sites talked about EA winning)

[QUOTE=RichyZ;44284776]when thats the worst thing you have to say about it, is it really that bad? max payne 3 was similar in size, and it was a great game[/QUOTE] The meaningless boring campaign that is a chore to play, shouldn't even be there. The weapons are unbalanced, smart pistol is OP.

[QUOTE=Shreddinger;44295088]The meaningless boring campaign that is a chore to play, shouldn't even be there[/QUOTE] I agree the campaign is meaningless, but how is it a chore to play when it's essentially just multiplayer? I played the campaign as if I was in a regular MP match and it was still enjoyable.

[QUOTE=Keychain;44295127]I agree the campaign is meaningless, but how is it a chore to play when it's essentially just multiplayer? I played the campaign as if I was in a regular MP match and it was still enjoyable.[/QUOTE] was extremely boring, idk you how enjoyed it ...

[QUOTE=latin_geek;44285015]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. oh someone published a game with a target audience that's not you boo hoo[/QUOTE] thats funny because I'm like 100% sure even the target audience was really pissed off in fact if I was a fan of the sims, I would have been fucking furious that being said, ISP's easily deserve this FAR ABOVE EA by a huge margin

Zynga or Hammerpoint Interactive would be much more deserving of that title. King the company works too.

[QUOTE=John Fisher;44295495]Zynga or Hammerpoint Interactive would be much more deserving of that title. King the company works too.[/QUOTE] Because they've killed people and stolen millions.

[QUOTE=Shreddinger;44295088]smart pistol is OP.[/QUOTE] Nah.

Where's Amy's Baking Company? [editline]20th March 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Shreddinger;44295088]smart pistol is OP.[/QUOTE] Get better eyesight, then. It's not like there's a delay before it locks on or anything.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44296089]Because they've killed people and stolen millions.[/QUOTE] Well given how that recent study suggested that most of these f2p mobile games get most of their income from a very small group of people spending ludicrous amounts of money, I'd say it's quite possible they have been a fairly serious problem for a couple of people. Now I don't think they've caused death or all-out financial ruin for anyone, so it's not like they should be able to stand up to most of the companies in this tournament, but I think game developers and publishers are able to do more a little bit more harm to people then they could a few years ago.

Comcast.

[QUOTE=ironman17;44290830]What about Monsato? Those guys could almost be described as environmental terrorists with all their bullshit seed-licensing. They lost to Wells Fargo? What the fuck are Wells Fargo?[/QUOTE] Most people will only vote on what hits home. That's essentially also one of the reason why EA keeps winning. Monsanto did nothing to most people. In the US, a few farmers suffered, in the EU, their presence is almost null. They tend to be brutal in the third world though. So a huge bank, with a massive presence in the US has a larger chance of actually winning. EA has the problem that it's a target of a global interest niche. But an absolutely massive global interest niche. Everyone that plays games knows about EA in some way, and there's anough horror stories, fictional or not, to make people vote for a company they know. In a lot of ways one can actually look at this is a popularity contest. EA is just so damned popular. :P
