EA voted "Worst company in America" two years in a row

[Vectorguy]

Oh, that's good to hear that they improved things then I still don't really like the company any more though (happens a lot, like how Activision is totally changed from how they started), which they were one of my favorite publishers during the Genesis years.

Apparently you haven't been to the internet lately. Gaming > Everything

This.

If this poll was only taken on the Internet, then I'm not surprised EA coming out on top. Who else bothers to vote for something like this other than self-entitled gamers?

This is more or less a popularity contest anyway. Half the voters probably never heard of half the companies on the list. "But WAIT, I was screwed over by EA on the SimCity launch!!!". That's how EA "wins" this poll.

Granted, EA have been trying pretty hard recently to make themselves look like complete tools with one of the worst video game launches in recent history. All because of those pirates! I bet all the pirates voted EA en masse.

PIRATES!



While I agree that in no way is EA the worst company even in it's own city, let alone the entire country, there's such a backlash against overreaching anti-piracy measures that it's caused people to go off the deep end a bit.  This poll just coincided with the release of SimCity and the always on DRM that made the game unplayable for a while.  Add on top of that all of the bad publicity EA has gotten over the years and you've definitely got a top notch recipe for First World Problems rage.

I'm almost willing to bet that if this poll was released after the Diablo 3 fiasco, Blizzard would have had the number one spot.

Oh come now, 4chan loves Blizzard in comparison to say, EA and Ubisoft.
