Neat. It's fascinating that the bigger the company is, the less it knows how the internet works.

LOL classy EA man, and people accuse the japanese companies being liked to Yakuza.

It's nothing knew for publishers to try and silence critics. off the top of my head, Activision, take two, Sony, Microsoft and Bethesda make copyright claims against youtube channels uploading glitches from certain games of theirs.

Bethesda removed videos showing bad frame rates aswell. Konami did it with MGSV and some random mobile company did it to total biscuit when he did a negative review of their game.

I know people like to jump on EA but most big publishers have abused their power in some way or another.

None odmf that is the same as stopping people from postiing comments.Releasing footage of an unreleased game is violating copyright laws.

Where is EA in the rankings for worst company this year?

That's really bad. I just don't know what's worse, Reddit mods accepting bribes or EA attempting to stop people expressing their opinion?

No all the things I listed happen after the game is released and they fall under fair use.  Doesn't stop them striking though.  

And Bethesda banned anyone who spoke badly of fallout 4 the week it released when there were reports it had problems.  Deleted their comments aswell.  That's just as bad.
