Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Considering their stock price is up 50% vs last year... I can't imagine they care much.

Interesting. Why is that? They certainly didn't have a good year publishing wise.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The problem is, EA can keep winning Worst Company of the Year again and again, but as long as people keep buying their games in the numbers that they do, that's the only thing they're going to go by.

Because they want to focus on mobile gaming?

This reward is pretty meaningless considering they let people freely vote online instead of getting a random sample of the population. Just a good example of how online polls aren't useful for real world comparisions.

This year they deserve it more then ever. Shit company. Can't even keep decent servers for Fifa 14 even thought they sell millions of copy's each year.

 The only thing they did that was decent this year was Need for Speed Rivals.. That's it..

That is utterly ridiculous. By it's very nature EA cannot, by any objective measure, be the worst company in America. In the grand scheme of things video games don't matter and as video games are a free market no one is forcing anyone to buy dismal EA game.

That EA has won this award twice shows that no real thought on actual meaningful negative impact on the world or on society has gone into the selection process. America's worst video game company sure, but America's worst company highly unlikely.

Meaningless, stupid unpopularity contest.

Is the trophy really of a Golden Poo? If so, that is wonderful.

I think EA deserves this more than anyone else. They really strived for it in the past couple years, and that should be rewarded!

Couldn't tell you.   Hype over the upcoming releases of the new consoles?   Too devalued the year before.

I don't follow videogame stocks... they're like movie stocks.... way to bouncy.

May as well sports bet and grab an underdog with the money line as far as i'm concerned.
