Poll: Who is Gaming biggest douche?

[marurder]

Talk about push-pull polling, this poll should be done again with links to various recent (and non recent) events relating to each publishers blunder or mishap. It comes across as a bit biased, I selected "other" as I think people (media/marketing dept) are essentially to blame.

 

[some1stolemyusername]

EA by a longshot.

Shame Activision is going to win this pole. Some of the hate they get is just undeserved.

i think they cop shit due to kotick and their/his business methods, but i still think they are f*wits

 

[Cazza]

EA atm

Though a very biased question seeing as they are in the spotlight right now.

 

[RetardedKitty]

it always was Between EA, Activision and Capcom. EA won with origins, but activision is pretty close behind with what they do to DiabloIII and WoW for money. and Capcom because its japan, and japaniese people hate giving us most of the games we want from them.

 

[vermin_]

Voting for EA, since hatin' on Activision isn't cool anymore.

/sarcasm

 

[Vibhor]

Anyone who charges 60$ for a digital download.
I will personally stalk them until they can take it no more and then strike when they are weak.
No seriously, it makes absolute no sense to charge a full 50$ for a digital download, let alone a fucking 60.

You know what when I saw this thread one name sprung to mind, Peter Molyneaux. I wish he would just stop making crap up and annoying everyone.

Out of your choices I'd definitely say EA. I have played The Sims 3 since it came out and they have the worst customer service I have ever seen. One time the exchange was down for ages, people were raging and complaining and what did they do during a patch? Added buy able badges to the site. :|
EADM was the worst software to ever roam the planet and Origin looks like it's shaping up to be it's horribly invasive younger brother. I have Origin on my PC for the Sims and I wouldn't be surprised if they ban me from my games for this post! Lol. They once banned a girl from their forums and all her games for posting a lolcat on their forums, I'm not even kidding.

Osidian, for making new vegas

it was linear, laggy and boring, unlike fallout 3 and im glad i only borrowed it not wasted my money

Hard to choose really. I'll just ramble about a few things that annoy me.

EA - The way they're marketing SW:ToR. Putting a digitally distributed game up for pre-order is all good, but limiting the number of pre-orders (of something which is only limited by bandwidth) and charging a stupendous amount of money for the "privilege" of pre-ordering is one mighty dick move. Still, it seems to be working, proving that we gamers will happily throw money at anything that has a popular IP or developer name on it. (I'm not bashing ToR, it's just we barely know if it's going to be worth a pre-order yet)

Capcom - Cancels long awaited game, blames fans. Releases incomplete game, releases "patch" as a new game.

Ubisoft - Their DRM, I'm all for trying to prevent piracy but having to have an internet connection for offline gaming is just silly.

Activision - It would be nice to see an innovative game from them, but there's plenty of other developers out there so I'm not particularly bothered about Activision. I suppose one genuine gripe would be that they've done nothing (except blame Sony) to stop hacking on the PS3 version of some earlier CoD games.

That's all I guess.

 

[Not George Carlin]

Why is Jack Thompson not on the list? Or that old man from Australia who thinks that M stands for Must Play For All Ages?

 

[ilikepie59]

I picked EA, but it was a tough choice between them and Ubisoft. Honestly, I was surprised how few votes they got.

 

[Drakulea]

You know we've hit rock bottom when we consider Activision a notch above the others because they aren't privacy-raping thugs and are simply content to repackaging the same flag-ship franchise over and over.

This being said, I voted for EA and their Origin number.

 

[orangeban]

I'd have to say Ubisoft, for being the ones who pioneered the Always-Online DRM method.

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

EA, no competition. You want proof? Go check out Origin

 

[Tesral]

After the whole Origin malarkey, EA. They also have a history of running game devs under their control into the ground (see Pandemic).

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Why didn't Peter Molyneux get his own option?

Yeah why isn't he on there?

 

[Deathfyre]

EA by a longshot.

Shame Activision is going to win this pole. Some of the hate they get is just undeserved.

But the poll says activation, so that probably throws it off. EA's winning now

 

[kouriichi]

Its to close a tie between EA and Activision to make a call.
Im gunna go with, "theyre both douches, whom we all should hate, because the bad they do will NEVER out weight the good."

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Aw, I thought we were talking about fictional douches in gaming. I don't care about whatever bullshit these giant companies get up to, as I've never been directly effected by said bullshit.

Oh wait, yes I have. VALVE is the biggest douche in gaming. For EXACTLY why you think they are.

Oh, I'm going to regret that. Oh well. POST!

It needed to be said , or typed, hell with with it ninja theory takes gold, valve takes 2nd and Bungie takes bronze BURRRRRN
