Heaven Angel Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Following last year’s surprise Worst Company In America victory by Electronic Arts, there was hope that the video game giant would get the message: Stop treating your customers like human piggy banks, and don’t put out so many incomplete and/or broken games with the intent of getting your customers to pay extra for what they should have received in the first place. And yet, here we are again, with EA becoming the first company to ever win a second Golden Poo from Consumerist readers. After an astounding number of votes, Consumerist readers once again chose EA over Bank of America, with the video game company taking nearly 78% of the vote.

WhiteWolf Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Microtransactions seemingly worse than mortgage fraud as EA is named Worst Company in America (again) Read more: http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/microtransactions-seemingly-worse-than-mortgage-fraud-as-ea-is-named-worst-company-in-america/#ixzz2QBUeWXnu EA first toppled some lightweights like accused privacy-violator andsocial network king Facebook, as well as spotty mobile service providerAT&T. It then took on one of the titans of anti-consumer policy,Ticketmaster, whose monopoly on the concert and event industry hasinflated prices for decades. In the championship round, though,Electronic Arts surprisingly beat down Bank of America. Since the 2008economic crash, Bank of America has been accused of many nefariousdealings, including “brazen” mortgage fraud. Defrauding the federal government and homeowners by doling out impossible-to-back loans is apparently not as damning as forcing SimCity players to maintain a constant Internet connection though, as EA handily beat out Bank of America. When we live in an era marked by massive oil spills, faulty foreclosuresby bad banks, and rampant consolidation in the airline and telecomindustry, what does it say about EA’s business practices that so manypeople have — for the second year in a row — come out to hand it thetitle of Worst Company In America? Still doesn't make EA the worst company in America. All it does it tellus is 1.) gamers reaaaaaaaaally care about gaming and 2.) gamers spendtoo much time on the internet. If you wanted to draw a Venn diagram,there'd be plenty of overlap between people who read The Consumerist and people who hate EA: Young, tech-savvy gamers whose hobby is being "threatened" by a gaming corporation. http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2013-04/ea-isnt-worst-company-america Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
