Disclaimer: If I come off as a self righteous, I'm sorry.
Now ultimately, I don't give two cents about EA (EASports is lol though). But I, for all that is good and holy, can't fathom how anyone can vote for them as the worst company in America. I mean, Haliburton created a toxic cloud just to drive people from their ****ing homes. Academi is currently under investigation by the FBI for smuggling weapons to terrorists. Cargill used child trafficking to get cheap labor. Shell inserted staff into the Nigerian government and bribe their military. And there are more nightmarish stories about companies doing something like this.
The only reason I think anyone would EA as the worst company is just Mass Effect 3's multiple choice endings just.... didn't live up to the hype. It just bothers me that's probably the only reason EA is voted as the worst. I'm sure EA done some other stupid things, but I doubt they could have done what those companies I listed done. And if they did, I doubt that was the reason they were voted as the worst.
I do not really expect everyone to just up and protest the companies I mentioned for some misplaced yet noble reason. But the blatant self-centered nature of gamers took me by surprise, honestly. For the worst. I guess hanging out on certain sites (like here lol) where the average intelligence level is higher than that of a toddler's made me think gamers were actually smarter in the ways of the world. Silly me, I guess.
Oh well.
