Well... apparenlty EAs PR reps and spin docs get their training the same place Biowares does...

Congrats EA   They may not deserve it as much as others, but they do deserve it.

The focus of the poll is ripping off consumers.  Not a lot of consumers have a mortgage written by BoA.  We use BoA and I've worked with them as a business bank as well, and I haven't had any problems with them as a normal checking and savings place.  Also people are exaggerating their contribution to the recession.  There are a lot more big banks ahead of them in that queue.  So I don't see how it makes sense to rage about one of the few big banks that didn't take any bailout money or go flat during the recession- if you want to hit them on shady loan practices, there are also companies much worse.

Sorry but BoA screws you over you lose your house and become homeless, EA annoys you then you end up miffed at nothing more than your hobby. At this stage anyone who voted EA in that against many of the others is nothing more than a spoiled child.

BoA does not affect me at all because I don't live in America. EA does and is global. They have been screwing over customers for years, this year was the last straw for many people. They destroy games and companies, run them to the ground, have one of the worst Customer service systems I have seen, they charge full price for a rushed out game and cut content out so you can pay mroe money for the full game later, then you have Origin, online passes and now you have the ending for ME3. Don't give me that spoiled child crap.

And I have never been raped, just because never happened to you does not make it right. Morality and common sense should not stop at the borders between countries, then again your precious hurt feelings on a video game is FAR more important clearly than the much worse companies on that list. Spoiled child sums it up just fine thanks. As JE said and I agree, if was worst gaming developer/publisher then by all means vote them worst but when in a poll compared to BoA which has thrown people out on the street... Sorry buddy nope your excuse does not fly.

I agree with you wholly, however the truth is that EA's consumers are more connected, worldy and through the internet. The people who have lost their houses should have voted if they truly feel they have been forgotten. Its simply two different types of evil, and the most connected one, .. well won

Seriously, do we have to defend EA's remarkable win over every other company?

Today is EA's day. Lets bask in the glow. EA beat out everyone else and there is no need to be all sour-grapes about it.

Go EA! Go for the Poo!

Come on, it's just a poll. Of course EA "won" because it's demographic consumer uses a lot more internet than the people who just get a loan from a bank. The poll is there just to show how many people are unsatisfied with a company. Should BoA "win" the prize? Maybe. The question is, it's not a "law" approved to destroy a business. It's just a poll. If Bank of America "destroyed lives" and people are mad because EA won the prize even being just a company that produces a "luxury" product, I can understand. But if we are to get serious, than lets get the hell out of here (BSN and internet) and help the God knows how many children that are dying of starvation everyday. Bank of America won this prize I don't know how many times. It's just symbolic. It serves just to draw some attention. Everyone knows how most of the banks (all of them probably) are greedy and make people homeless. They should be "hors concours". Now leave some light for the "lesser know" companies.

[Volourn]

EA is so horrible that people continue to give them money. In fact, I bet as DPM mentions, I have no doubt the majority of those who voted EA as the 'worst' probably have bought and enjoyed dozens of EA games and will likely conitnue to do so.

Just cool to hate on the Big Dog even as you lap up everything they give you.

I wonder how the voters foudn time to vote ingetween playing Madden, FIFA, the Sims, KOTOR MMO, etc., etc.

LMAO

Hello drama.  Not everyone considers themselves a righteous social crusader.  Like it or not, if you've had bad personal experience with a company, that's what sticks out as being a bad company, not news reports about one bank acting like... a bank.

Don't buy it.  If we were talking Fannie Mae or AIG, okay, then I would agree that they should get the evil company award, for their part in triggering the recession.   I think I read that AIG already won the award once so they weren't nominated.

How about that? I get most of my best games from the so-called 'Worst' company, and visit the actual polling place less and less each year. Funny how that works....

[AshedMan]

Congratulations EA BioWare. You truly deserved this symbolic gesture from gamers everywhere.

[Farbautisonn]

When Bioware was aquired by EA I was "forced" to break my personal boycot of EA. One I have been observing since Bullfrog. But I havent had the need to buy any products from Bioware lately so that works out aces!

[SKELETON HARVESTER]

This.
Is.
GLORIOUS.
And the fact that they had to namedrop past winners makes it all the better. They're shaking in their boots right now.

I just came back with coffee and saw the thread.

Did you spit out your coffee when you saw the thread in the ME3 forum? Like when Maverick did the fly-by of the traffic control tower in Top Gun?

I lived through ManGiraffeDog, there's nothing the ME3 forum can spring on me that would cause that reaction.

Now, adding some scotch to the coffee - that's a little different.

You might have missed when a poster was putting up pics of a person deficating:sick:.  Give me the annoying dog anyday.

Of course, I am a big dog person:lol:

A tiny bit of humility wouldn't hurt them. That's for sure.

[UnstableMongoose]

The following is mostly opinion, but it's worth considering some of these points:

EA's response to this particular award proves that if you troll them down, they will simply become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

The ridiculous hyperbole that many members of the Retake Mass Effect movement are going to (saying EA is worse than BoA) is starting to make EA look really good when they can bust out all these more generally accepted metrics of worth that they are good at. Both from a sheer business perspective and from a more generalized customer satisfaction perspective (taking dissatisfied ME3 fans as the true percentage of EA's sum audience), EA is probably the most reputable organization on that list.

It's not about the legitimate complaints that the Retake movement has any more--and make no mistake; this shift isn't because of "corrupt journalists bought and paid for by EA." It's because not enough people want to spend the effort to be reasonable, respectful, and patient about this problem getting fixed.

-It worked well with DA2.
-it worked well with the Bazaar for the intl customers.
-it worked well with Deception which still sells as is, with no news 1½ months after a revision was "promised".
-it has worked well with ME3 so far.

So... tell us again how "reasonably, respectfull and patient helps getting problems fixed" as it were?

EA has no interest in fixing anything unless they can monetize on it. Taking responsibility in the video game industry? Forget about it. The only bigger developer to do that in years has been CD Projekt RED.

I'm a selfish entitled whining gamer and through my childish actions, I caused BOA, a truly evil and terrible life-destroying monster, not to win an online poll. I am such a terrible person, I would never donate to charity, or volunteer my time at food drives.

Or, I don't know...
BE MORE THAN A 2-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER.

Yes I voted for EA. Did I do it to send a message? Yes. Did I do it expecting anything to come of it? No. If I thought in any way that voting for BOA would get people their money or homes or lives back, I would have. Keep it in perspective people.

For the love of god, finally. This, a thousand times.

Why doesn't anyone understand symbolism anymore? BoA won 3 times before and zero ****s were given.
EA wins once and they're in full damage control mode within the hour.

I concur with the bolded part.

However, lets consider the unpleasant possibility that the rumor about sixteen endings was started by someone unaffiliated with Bioware or EA. That would mean people got upset over something that may not have actually been said by the devs, and started a big ruckus over nothign. imagine that perhaps IGN and Prima claimed something that was not a direct quote from the Developer. All that this will prove is that once people look back 15 years from now, that Retakers were vindictive enough to pursue a vendetta that ultimately proved fruitless.
