I found this amusing:

The Consumerist have been running a series of 1-on-1 polls to find out what people think is the worst company in america (as of 2012).
Does EA deserve this?


Who's going to get first place?

Ugh, Facebook..
Agreed. Although recently I made one cuz everyone kept on bitching at me for not having one...I had to cave else I would've killed the next person who asked me -.-
What happened to me was that everyone kept bugging me to make one and stuff..
Now they ask why I even have it since I never log on.

BUT OH LAWDY EA GIVES US SHITTY COPYWRITE PROTECTIONS AND ONLINE PASSES THE WORLDS GONNA END!
EA is much more than that, the treat customers like shit, giving us DLC at day one and shutting down servers, they've killed of a number of developer studios, etc.

Oh and Origin. Piss poor digital distribution and piss poor customer service, you never really know when you'll be banned from Origin and your games.

I don't know what people hate EA for. Years ago, they were horrible, but they drastically changed and have actually been doing good. Compared to Comcast and AT&T, EA is faaar from the worst company in America.

Where the fuck is Activision?
Were the omitted for being the clear unrivaled victor?

Otherwise Walmart would get my vote. They suck here too.

Activision is fairly better than Walmart. It should be somewhere behind. Not a front runner.
