wow, EA managed to beat sony ?
I mean EA is evil and all (mainly for killing good companies westwood/origin/bullfrog/etc imo) ok, but they actually never tried, until origin, to shackle consumers with in house stupid standards like sony is always trying to.

It's not just taking into account the treatment of customers(because on this front Bank of America, Comcast, AT&T are terrible) but also the treatment of their employees(which hasn't been stellar either).

Unfortunately not every company understands that happy employees means higher quality work, better customer service, and happier customers. Which usually means better profits.

EA : Buying Bioware and "ruining the ending to ME3"
Bank of America : Ruining the worldwide economy and taking away peoples houses.

If you guys really believe EA is the worst company in the world... *headdesk*

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with ME3's ending.
In regards to EA as worst company, ME3's ending is nothing more than a mere footnote in EA's infamous history.

The feel when you imagine one giant battlefield where employees from each company are slaughtering each other LotR style for this coveted title.


Someone make this a game.

When you purchase a game with the EA stamped on it,for the complete version of the game it will cost you around 100.00 US dollars. Lets not forget what they did to us with Dead Space 2 .The lied about DLC and charged extra for armor when the codes were already in the game.They did not support patches for Dead Sapce 2 or single player DLC for the PC customers. We even signed a patition for Dead Space 2 DLC wich EA completly ignored.

The voting is open for the whole world. AT&T and whatever US-stuff there is doesn't affect me. Bank of America maybe indirectly, not more. EA however is directly affecting the private life of people all around the world and a corner of it that is usually perceived as art, at least as escapism for many, like movies. In hard times (no cash, no food, etc.) people get their enjoyment from arts, movies, games, and this is where EA directly invades the life even of those who long stopped to care about the general economy. EA turns arts into turbo-capitalism, and that's just evil.

Also, everybody knows the Bank of America is an epitome of evil, they don't need to win a poll for that and couldn't care less anyway. Maybe an EA win would be more unexpected.

Why don't you people go to EA then instead of hiding behind your computer

[I_Jedi]

Anyone heard of C&C4?

Yeah, I voted EA.

[Sleek]

I forgot about the people that can NO LONGER play DLC because they were kicked out of the community for expressing there opinions. EA knows what they are doing.They just dont give a flock.

[Vertigo_1]

Voted EA...hope they win!

Have you ever dealt with EA Customer support?

I've essentually been given two fingers and told we don't give a flying ****about you now that we've got your money.

[Awookie]

You guys obviously havent heard of Activision, or Call of Duty before the cliche "Modurr Warfare" games.

[Justin2k]

Regardless of how long and "horrible" EA's list of crime is..

Bank of America and ATT+T and co. are companies that have kinda made the world worse with legislation and economy. EA simply has monopolised a relatively small industry and milked as much money as it can make of it. It never made anyone homeless. I can't believe people would be silly enough to vote for them.

This thread just happened to appear right in front of me as I was sitting at the computer. Gotta see what all the fuss is about.

[Poleaxe]

It's only because few people have Charter Communications that they don't win hands down. The absolutely worst service company ever.

Did you read the article?


BofA can claim it had no idea it was buying such a toxic pile of crap when it scooped up the remains of Countrywide for virtually nothing. Even if you can believe that, the fact remains that Bank of America spent the years after the Countrywide acquisition doing little to nothing to repair the damage. False foreclosures, improper property seizures, misleading mortgage adjustment programs, robosigned documents and the subsequent lawsuits and settlements, have done significant damage to BofA's public image and its coffers.

EA, meanwhile, has made a habit of sniffing out some of the best smaller video game companies, which are then acquired for their intellectual properties or to remove a competitor from the marketplace. Mass consolidation in any industry rarely works out to the benefit of the consumer, but the gaming business is one that regulators, the courts and the mainstream media have by and large ignored.

Another thing these two seemingly very different companies have in common is their desire to nickel and dime consumers at every turn.

EA is among the industry leaders in pushing for more and more "microtransactions" in users' gaming experience. For its major titles it seems to be creating exclusive and add-on content, not with the game in mind, but with the sole intention of milking consumers who may not realize how quickly those small purchases add up.

And unlike the fee-happy discount airlines that use the "everything is a la carte" model to keep base prices low, a new EA game will run you $60 for the most basic version available, making it easily the most expensive form of home entertainment.

Many of EA's sports titles — especially its Madden NFL franchise — are bestsellers with annual releases and exclusivity deals with the corresponding leagues. This means that no one else can enter the market to compete with a lower-price NFL game, effectively allowing EA to set the price for new releases.

The question you as WCIA voters need to ask yourself is whether or not such transgressions are on par or worse than Bank of America's attempts to weed out those consumers who dare to have a standard checking account, especially one with balance smaller than five figures?

After all, if you want to avoid BofA's fee-frenzy, there are any number of other banks and credit unions you can try. But if you want to de-stress from a day of being kicked around by the world by playing a game of FIFA Soccer with your friends, you're out of options.

Relatively small industry?

Have you actually seen the numbers for what this "Relatively small industry" generates in dollars?

again EA was winning (is in the finals now) long before this was posted in here, name calling members of this forums because EA is stupid, EA has more than enough of a reputation to earn the finals without the ME3 people giving them the vote, just saying.

[DanTheMilkman]

EA has already been voted worst customer service. Besides, they are pretty much just a Publisher so most of "their" games aren't really theres

EA has been screwing people all over the world since the 90s. 

Bank of America didn't ruin the worldwide economy. Moving from productive economy to financial economy, neo-liberalism (hi Reagan, hi Tatcher), and all that stuff did.

Yet where would you be if every EA published game vanished? Playing the original FPS the lotion bottle and hand at the ready...

If EA vanished from existence, then industry can actually compete for quality games, like NFL for example.

I also like Westwood and pre-EA Bioware.
