"The results of The Consumerist’s “Worst Company in America” bracket are in, and as I predicted, Electronic Arts managed to beat out Bank of America for the title."
There you have it :/  Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one. BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward. |

Do we really need to name them all? You can start with Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and then we can start listing off all the failed MMO's they started and killed in record time. Earth and Beyond, The Sims Online, Motor City Online, ect. |

Well I would say companies like Haliburton and Monsantos are far worse, from a moral point of view, but for sure it is the worst SW game company. Easily... even SOE cant get close to them in that regards.  |

So all these corporations that have far more damaging effects on the world and EA gets voted the worst. Mind is blown. I understand people are upset or disappointed about a few video games but it's kind of ridiculous. My fellow Americans really need to get their priorities straight. |

I know EA sucked, but beating out Bank of America, Monsanto, Wal-Mart and Exxon-Mobil is something else. |

This article puts in perspective what's wrong with America. While i agree that EA must be taken down, there are far bigger fish to fry. |

Well, EA took the studio that failed on Warhammer, put them to work under the BioWare name, and pretty much ruined KOTOR and Star Wars MMORPG simultaneously. TSW is made by Funcom, who I have a lot of respect for as game designers-they suck at implementation though. I've never had any respect for the major players at BioWare Austin. Thankfully, EA is just publishing TSW, and doesn't actually own Funcom like they own BIoWare. |

Originally posted by Thomas2006 And Syndicate. But it's not so much about the games they ruined, but the promising developers they gutted and discarded. The potential for some incredible games that they snuffed out is why I consider them the fucking scourge of the industry. Still not as bad as modern banks though, when you broaden your perspective, but I'll save that for letters to the editor of my local newspaper. In this forum, EA IS the devouring chaos. |

They'll go publish another new game, people will buy it by the jillions, and then they'll laugh all the way to the bank. Bend over, grab your ankles, "Yes Sir, may I please have another"

Biggest victim of EA was Westwood Studios and their Command and Conquer series. Cant forgive them for that. |

Originally posted by Cthulhu23 Give it some time, even Warhammer Online was boasting good subscription numbers 3 months after release. For all intent and purposes, SW:TOR is a failed MMORPG. The numbers are just not showing that, yet. |

Complaining on forums solves nothing. As the guy in the article states: If you want to topple EA, don’t vote in a poll. Vote with your wallet. If your not going to complain with wallet. STFU
