I am just going to post the exact same thing that was posted in the original thread about the WCIA:

I still can't believe people consider EA the worst company in America when companies like Monsanto and Dow Chemical exist.
EA do some stupid shit yes, but for Christ's sake get some perspective.
Amen brother! Preach it [User Name Retracted]!!!
Also, I'm happy that my bank isn't on here! Go US Bank!!! The horrible things we do are not quite horrible enough!
Hell, looking at this list...this is kind of a pathetic excuse for a "Worst Companies" list. A lot of these charge you for shit and have silly practices but there are very few "Our product literally kills you", "We took your house and will do nothing to help you out", or my favorite, "We just dumped a shit ton of our product in the ocean and fucked up the Gulf Coast for decades" groups.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As to "embracing their shitty practices"...there is nothing EA has done that I think is so horrible that I would not purchase their products (although they like to say some pretty stupid things). Now granted, I am on the console so maybe all their genocide and pillaging occurs on the PC...
So I suppose I'm perfectly alright with "EA Defenders" since I am a self-proclaimed EA Defender. But even that's not 100% true for I don't really care about EA; they're a company.
EDIT: You know what, I'm changing my Title to "EA Sympathizer". Why? For funsy.
