We haven’t even begun to ask for nominations from readers for the next Worst Company In America tournament, but some are already making the case for once again giving the Golden Poo trophy to reigning two-time WCIA winner Electronic Arts.

Well, this isn't surprising after the debacles that were Sim City and Battlefield 4.

And yet people still buy their horse scat*y games.

The games themselves have some promise, it's the nickel and diming that kills it. I admit, I've been enjoying BF4. Now, if BF 5 comes out this year, that's going to be a different story.

But how could the worst company be a company that raised 10.5 million dollars for charity via Humble Bundle

Only an idiot would vote them worst. Most hated and worst are very different. Voting a video game company over a bank for worst? No. I have worked in places and had family work in places that anyting EA does seems like a nice sunday afternoon in church. Banks are easily the worst. Does not matter which one. Most hated yes. Worst HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO

Yeah, I never honestly understood why EA ever one this. I doubt they are actually that bad compared to other companies that have much larger effects on the American population. As I've seen in the previous ones, I'd be putting phone companies and banks waaaaay higher up than a video game company.

Maybe the majority of voters simply have more experience with EA than banks or cable companies. Is tgis international or USA only?

No it's entitled gamers. Who are just angry on the internet.

[Auzzie Wingman]

EA being voted worst feels like a behind the scenes collaboration than a proper vote to be honest.

[SailtheSeas]

I doubt Electronic Arts is the worst company in the US.

 

That said I do wish Electronic Arts were hit with a monumental fine for continuing to release games that are not fit for purpose.

 

As much as I'm looking forward to Titanfall, I will wait and see whether or not that game works well, if it does I'll buy it, if there's issues with the game, I'll abstain from buying it, even if it is patched and in fully working order.
