Quote: Whether it's on a console, a PC, a smartphone or tablet, hundreds of millions of people play video games every day. Yet most mainstream media covers the industry the same way it treats adult dodge ball leagues and cat fashion shows (both noble ventures, but neither of them multi-billion dollar industries). And the only time you hear legislators discuss video games is when some politician decries them as the death knell for all things righteous in the world (hint: they're not). Now, after years of being ignored and relegated to steerage, game-players have voted to send a message to Electronic Arts and the gaming business as a whole: Stop treating your loyal customers like crap. While this in of itself is hardly surprising, EA's amazingly retarded (read: hilarious) PR response barely an hour later just takes the fucking cake. Quote: Usually when we announce the winner of the annual Worst Company In America tournament, the victor chooses to quietly reflect on their triumph rather than make a public comment. But not this year's champ, Electronic Arts, which has responded to being voted the WCIA winner by hinting that it's not as bad as other companies. In a statement to Kotaku.com, an EA rep says: Quote: We're sure that British Petroleum, AIG, Philip Morris, and Halliburton are all relieved they weren't nominated this year. We're going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide. Perhaps three out of four of those companies weren't nominated this year because they've already won. BP took home the Golden Poo last year. AIG won in 2009, and Halliburton was crowned the champ back in our first ever tournament in 2006.

You say that like there's some sort of inevitable justice in the world :P. We (the people) seem to have spoken quite clearly on the matter; We don't give a shit. Yet. The only justice heading EAs way is the same for everyone else - the eventual destruction of the natural world as we know it. Don't get me wrong, that's fantastic, I just wish I could be assured that all the EA fat cats were going to thier own special hell (where you can't go to the bathroom unless you buy the day-one DLC) with the rest of the broken few who run* things around here. Spoiler: click to toggle *By run things, I obviously mean it in the "into the ground" sense.

It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

Master Posts: 398 Group: Elite Member #85 Joined: September 13, 2010	EA, in damage control for receiving the "worst company in America" award, have released several press statements and interviews where they claim they only won it due to homophobia (since sheppard can now be gay in me3). The image below also mentions that EA is now known to hire people to hype up their games on reddit and 4chan, and also to troll posts detracting from their games in an attempt to derail them.

Master Posts: 1,082 Group: Elite Member #89 Joined: October 2, 2010	To be fair the "Worst Company" award is an internet poll, and thus not really something you should be taking entirely seriously considering the odd priorities people on the internet tend to have. Let's not forget that internet polls were responsible for Time magazine's awarding the creator of 4chan the Most Influential Person of 2008, simultaneously spelling out the words "mARBLECAKE. ALSO, THE GAME" with the following 21 people in the list of 100. EA are clearly dicks but there is no way they should really have "beaten" Bank of America without internet interference. Bank of America have destroyed lives, EA maybe make you regret making a luxury purchase >_> Edited by Jacquerel, Apr 7 2012, 05:10 AM.

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	See, it should have been either Bank of America or AT&T, in my opinion. Doesn't discount the fact that EA is a wheelbarrow of dicks. Edited by Arem, Apr 7 2012, 05:23 AM.
