The "worst company in America" isn't decided on "good business decisions" it's decided on customer perception. Their earnings is what shows their business decision.

EA bet they wouldn't have big returns on Switch, considering how much lower Fifa in Switch done compared to others they weren't wrong for the first 12 months. And still they are releasing 2019 expecting higher sales.

The OP calling up Fifa and my memory of NBA being attached with EA because of strict contracts played a trick on me for NBA2K.

The number of developers that EA has purchased and then closed because of EA's failed meddling in those developer's games says yes, EA makes crappy business decisions.  Their bungling of the Star Wars property with Battlefront II last year, which actually brought governments into talking about regulating their gaming practices, also speaks volumes.

As a consumer and a gamer, I don't have to be happy that EA cares more about how much money they can make off Loot Boxes and micro transactions than actually releasing games.

Sure they make bad decisions. But first they don't do them in hindsight or intentionally. So saying they run their numbers, Switch version would give them good profits but they decided not to release just to fuck Nintendo is beyond asinine (and conspiracy theories all over the place about 3rd parties wanting Nintendo to go bankrupt). Do you consider MS a dumb company? What about Nintendo? Because we can see several bad decisions they made, some costing a lot of money, others relationship and even government ruling against.

Sure you don't have to be happy for them, but using their moniker of worst company have nothing to do with their business acumen as you tried to imply.
