The only thing I can do is laugh, and hopefully save the bookmark away to look at the next time that I consider buying something from those fucks. Sad

Someone said they fucked with the lawnmowers, but I did a quick check with the early levels and they respawned fine and didn't ask me to buy them back. Your mileage may vary. Razz

So he wont acknowledge any major problems with BF4 at release and says that DICE had full control over when the game was released. Whether that last part is true or not, I do think DICE could easily have influenced EA to postpone the release date, if they had made it very clear how broken the game was. Fuck EA and fuck DICE. Never forget.

Hey, at least he toned down the blaming of the consumer for any faults of the game. Now they just went into fully denialism-mode.

EA shouldn't even be allowed on this list anymore, it's unfair towards all the other participants who want to win the award.

Yeah looking at that list it seems like they have all worked so hard to win this thing the only fair result would be to put the lot in joint 1st place

- only problem is that would dilute the result and be really unfair on those corporations who went all out balls to the wall to surpass all competition eg EA games who have loomed over gaming so long, casting a pall upon all gamers like some sort of distantly orbiting death star, they're deserving of some sort of hall of fame perpetual trophy.

None of the other companies would even bother to comment on it if they won, but it's always funny to see EA act all hurt and offended when they win. I say they should definitely win. Very Happy

The list is meaningless, the result is meaningless, but it should be EA again just to keep it going. It actually seems to bother them, yet they continue to do the same thing year after year even after 'winning' this award.


Come come now Monsanto's crimes in destroying the planet are a mere bagatelle in comparison to EA's who have been dead set on leeching all the fun outta gaming- they are trying to destroy our psyche - a much worse crime in this era where effect on self is the most important determinant on what is good or bad.

THe planet is fucked nothing we can do about it now that ship has sailed - however EA games are destroying our distraction from that tired old news.
Kinda like some asshole snapping the strings on old Nero's fiddle when Rome was aflame.

As someone put it here (or on another forum, can't remember):

EA wins -> they will clearly be affected by it and try (or at least pretend to) change some stuff around.
Monsanto/BoA/BP/someotherbigasscompanymuchlarger than EA -> more than likely 0 fucks given about this award.


So I'm cool with EA winning again Very Happy

and why would ea give two shits about this?
its not like the masses buying their annual fifas and battlefields will stop doing so, its only a statistically small percentage of gamers that see ea´s foul practices and stops supporting them, the majority will keep taking it up the ass without even noticing.

I guess this year just wasn't meant to be, EA were voted out in the first round Crying or Very sad

http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/24/5543738/ea-voted-out-of-consumerists-worst-company-in-america-race

Quote:

After winning the 2013 Worst Company in America poll — EA's Peter Moore wrote that the company could "do better" and would strive to do so.

"I'll be the first to admit that we've made plenty of mistakes," Moore wrote at the time. "These include server shut downs too early, games that didn't meet expectations, missteps on new pricing models and most recently, severely fumbling the launch of SimCity. We owe gamers better performance than this."


^^ which of course means they'll just take this as a sign they're doing better Laughing

It was obvious with EA would not win again TWC. TWC recently was bought out by Comcast and honestly they control 90%(okay maybe 70%) of the cable internet market in US.

you underestimate the amount of gamers who go on line regularly and the amount of internet subscribers who frequent the internet for more than just e-mail, news, porn.
