IGN News - EA Comments on Worst Company in America Poll

Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore has responded to a recent poll in which EA was chosen as a semifinalist for "Worst Company in America." (An "honor" it also received last year.)

If mr. krabs owned a videogame company it would be E.A.

[kalas]

EA ruined every game and company they bought.

[jriker]

Then only reason I have an origin is because their games literally require and force me to use Origin.

Peter Moore : And remember, the customer is *always* wrong!

Staff Member : Even when they're right?

Peter Moore : *Especially*, when they're right.

Staff Member : But don't we want to please our customers?

Peter Moore : You, up. Get out. You're fired.

Hahaha what a pathetic attempt at damage control.  "Lets tell them we're being attacked by conservatives for supporting gay people!".

[inserisciunnome]

"we WILL do Better!"
Seven years later:
"Any second now!"

[PlNKUHOSHI]

I never buy any EA game. No matter what platform it is on.  No matter how much I used to love Medal of Honor, they messed up too many good games, and their freemium game concept is bullshit.

[Habs_]

IGN is giving overrated score on almost every EA games so they can still have their exclusivity and paid trip from EA's pocket.

[afrothunder]

People voted for them because they half ass games but advertise them like they're the best thing to hit the market since sliced bread, and not only that, but when they do hit the market and everyone gets mad for the bullshit game they paid $60 for, they say "we needed more time" or "Our team is aware of the situation and are trying to fix it" even though they really just don't give a shit as long as the money keeps rolling.

Their online customer support is piss-poor, they deserve it. I feel so bad for DICE. They would make the best, most complete shooters if they weren't working for EA

[getrektmimintheloominarty]

This is a message to the future gaming companies. DONT SELLOUT TO EA. YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE. and now a minute of silence for all the companies that were intimidated and bought by EA.

[TechWithKEM]

They deserve it again this year, with pretty much every day, the FIFA servers are down either for maintenance or issues. And sometimes I'm about to play an online match, and it freezes, but if I exit out, I get penalized. I mean, WTF??

[cuccibro]

"sim city is not a DRN sceme"

[christopherrankin]

The tallest trees also fall the hardest, Peter. Remember the golden years of Blockbuster when they thought they would never be stopped? Mhm...

"Some claim there's no room for Origin as a competitor to Steam. 45 million registered users are proving that wrong."

What if it is those same 45 million registered users that have experienced Origin who are complaining about it? I'm one of those registered users and I too must say there's no room for Origin as a competitor to Steam, hence them resorting to trying to lure users back into installing Origin by making some games free if you add them through Origin.

[Filiplego]

The only problem I have with EA is why are they shutting down the old good games? That pisses me off.

[casplays]

We are now in 2017 soom 2018 and they are still as crappy. Nothing learned and it will not change.

[dwr]

Hey EA! Wanna know how to be a good company?!?! Quit enforcing bullshit rules in order to play Battlefield!

[emilengen]

"we can do better"

But will they? 8 years has passed and they're still atrocious. These are some of their recent mistakes:

The Anthem disaster.

The fifa legacy scam(20 and 21).

the Andromeda disaster.

Sims 4 ruined by greed.

Battlefront 1 and 2.

Gambling in their PEGI 3 sports
games and battlefront 2.

Ads in their UFC games.

[sithius]

Origin is hilariously shit compared to Steam, and I say that as a registered user of both.
