The fact EA was ever named 'worst company' is just stupid. They are far from the worst. That fact a VIDEO GAME COMPANY beat out businesses and banks that are doing real harm to peoples lively hood is just sad.
EA: We Never Want to Be Named Worst U.S. Company Again

I know people have said this an endless amount of times, and I know that my reply has been repeated as many times...yet still there's always someone who makes a complaint like this.Lunar Templar said:
Lunar, the golden poo isn't there because they're evil, not because they are greedy assholes. It's because WHILE being so blatently dirty...they're ALSO dumb as shit, inept performers, doofus extraordinaires. It's the "How do you dumbasses even BREATHE while pulling this shit?" award. Besides, there's endless allegations and legalities to throw at the serious ones.
So you say you want to get away from the title of worst company of the year, while simultaneously releasing Sims 4 at an obscene price with even less features than the previous entry to the series?
When, and if, you actually realise what mistakes you are consistently making then maybe, just maybe, you might have taken the first step towards discovering how to become a better company.

Still smacks of '1st world problems' to me, not to mention a stunning lack of awareness.FalloutJack said:
I mean we talking about a video game company beating company's that pretty much CAUSED (or at the very least helped it a long) the economic recession we're still trying to recover from.
but eh, I won't be surprised when they win a third time. It's kind of what happens when you hold polls like these on the internet.....
Well, it IS a first-world problem. It's a 'Worst Company in the US' award. It's held only IN the first world, right?Lunar Templar said:
This is pretty funny because earlier I was playing Fifa 13 and found a bug that stops you from completing tournaments. The bug has apparently been there since launch 2 fucking years ago.
Oh and their servers keep disconnecting me after every game, so I have to exit to the main menu (which takes painfully long to do so) just to reconnect which takes all of a couple of seconds after 1 button press.
And I've heard people complaining about the exact same problem in Fifa 14! I wouldn't be surprised to hear about it persisting into Fifa 15 too. And I doubt they'll actually delay one of the biggest (if not, THE BIGGEST) cash cows they have.

Is that why they didn't give out review copies? Guess EA is outdated.
Talk is cheap. I don't believe the people who have their actual hands on creating the game would make the same choices that most gamers have issues with. It starts at the top, the people who have no love for games passing down ideas to take shortcuts or ways to suck more money from the user (I'm looking at you, mobile games).
EA said it would try and fix itself after the Simcity release. I have not seen much progress except for a better refund policy/removal of online pass. Nothing about the games themselves.
"Pushing the boundaries", huh?
Well now...
Really though, there's nothing new here. More bollocks EA PR and no actual actions being taken to remedy their piss poor reputation. At this point, they're not fooling any one.

I fully support this sentiment. But now, if they keep up the stupid anyway, EA will have completely lost my faith.
Don't disappoint me, EA. I want to like you, but you're just too disconnected from us gamers.

EA in my mind is full on insane as a whole. By definition insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. That is EA in a nutshell. They go through this BS song and dance every once and a while and the results are always the same.
I... won't be holding my breath for change at EA. But there's a glimmer of hope. Misguided maybe, but I'd like to believe there's a chance EA might stop ruining the games I used to love.
Just bought Sims 3. The expansions are way overpriced for as little as they give you; which IMO have the max value of $5, seeing as they're digital. It's still the most moddable game series ever; as long as they don't take that away. & even after years of patches, it has a notoriously terrible framerate.danielcofour said:

Nice of you to try and improve, EA, but you'll have to forgive me if I think your promises are...well...I'll just let the peasants say it.
"Men are men, vows are words, and words are wind."
First you actually have do something to back up those words and I'm not holding my breath. That response to Dungeon Keeper Mobile alone shows just how weaselly and disingenuous they are about keeping that vow.
We'd all like a lot of things, EA.
