Video game giant Electronic Arts stepped into the Worst Company In America nonagon of unpleasantness this morning crowned with two Golden Poos and with the confidence that the tournament’s only two-time winner deserves. But in the end, it wasn’t EA that was carried out of the arena in victory — it was Time Warner Cable.

 

In the narrowest margin of victory since 2011, when BP beat Bank of America for the WCIA by less than one percent, Time Warner Cable upset EA’s attempt at a three-peat by eking out 51.2% of the vote. 

 

Despite its turkey-up of the Battlefield 4 and Titanfall releases, EA just didn’t have the all-out support that it had received in the previous two tournaments. And while Time Warner Cable has always merited a spot in the WCIA brackets, the company’s pending merger with former WCIA champ Comcast undoubtedly played into readers’ voting decisions. Judging by the absolute crushing that Comcast brought down on Yahoo in its first round match, there is a lot of hatred out there for the nation’s largest cable/Internet provider, and today’s TWC result confirms that voters are more than happy to spread that hate around.

Well, it's about time. EA might have some crappy video game practices, but it's definitely not like they're out ruining lives.

 

...are they?

How old is this? I swear this has been posted on every site many times last few months.They are always voted worse and it's stupid. Anyone who votes a video game company over  bank is idiotic. yes EA sucks but Banks are truly dirty and terrible companies. Kroger re-hired people they fired that had potential lawsuits against them for mistreatment of employees. (I mean nearly killing me)

 yeah I dislike EA as well but only an idiot would vote them over a bank or even Wal-Mart or Gamestop (which has the biggest turnover in the US)

How is that "ruining your life"? It's just video games. There are companies that are guilty of far worse.

As stated above, there are companies guilty of far worse than anything EA has done.

People hate on EA because hating on EA is the cool thing to do, the same reason people hate on Nickelback.

The difference is that Nickleback has some good songs (though their Dark Horse album is all about prostitutes)

I think that's taking it from onwe extreme to the next.

There is definitely still reason to hate EA. They might not be as big a douchnozzle as some companies but they're still ball-sucking dickbags.

I'll be the 1st to tell you video games do not dictate my life or the quality of my life and there are FAR WORSE problems in the world that the majority are not only blind/iggnorant to, but even go so far to defend, so its strictly an exaggeration when i say they're ruining my life, but i really do miss the 2K football series.
