    Continuing the backlash over EA's recent blunders, users have voted the publisher as America's worst company of 2012. Conducted by Consumerist.com, the annual poll pits 32 companies against each other…

    Finally an award EA has worked hard to earn.
  3. Obviously none of these voters had ever worked for Indian hotel owners. There is absolutely no way EA could be as torturous even despite their horrible reputation.

    Maybe they'll shove this one centre stage in their trophy room as a reminder of how epically they've failed those buying their products.

    That is what they deserve to be.

    Even though I really enjoy both BC2 and BF3.

    EA has no reason to treat this with any kind of seriousness. I don't know why a news site would waste bandwidth posting this. Or to use the statistics term for polls like this, it's "total bullshit".

    A news website such as Techspot has every reason to post this, considering that half of it's views are from gamers, and people interested in the technology behind having a gaming computer.

    So if I run a poll that asks which company is worse than Hitler and EA conveniently wins by a landslide, I should be on the front page too, then.
  11. EA doesn't care if people support them or not because to them we are all replaceable.
  12. EA deserves this award, that doesn't mean other companies don't as well.

    :facepalm: EA took the bait too. Should have just ignored this one.

    OK, you seriously need a 'like' button (but it's probably patented by them FB mongrels :( ) coz I saw this article and immediately thought "at this moment, everything is right with the world" :)

    on that note, where the hell is your twitter button?

    EA actually doesn't care about mouthy forum-users because they make up a such a minuscule portion of their customer base that they can be ignored. The average video game consumer will never even hear about this.

    This made me laugh, good job EA you really deserve it.

    What everyone complaining about this poll fails to acknowledge is, it's an online poll. Everyone already knows most corporations are corner-cutting, underhanded scumbags, but only gaming companies are the ones that get by without any press.

    Admit it, videogames makes more money than most industries and is an integral part of the economy, regardless of your opinions on whether or not they are art or for kids, or any other definition you have for them.

    And again, it's an online poll, anyone who matters doesn't care and anyone who cares doesn't matter.

    Totally love Indians and all people but
    Wow I thought I was the only one who had a bad experience with a Indian hotel owner. Wouldn't pay me over time for 60 hours weeks, when I brought it up I was scheduled for 2 days a week. Super 8 eloy ftl.

    I don't care for EA over pricing for the same game they pooped out 7 years ago, but I also don't buy them, so it doesn't effect me.

    I don't use or buy from [insert corporation here], so it doesn't affect me.

    Obviously sane logic.
