They announced Mirror's Edge 2, that's how.
They'll go right back to being the worst if they screw it up though.
How could a gaming company ever be the worst company in America? Was it an internet poll? EA is big by gaming standards -- and maybe terrible -- but they're almost immaterial when compared to the true titans of American industry.
Did they stop? o.o
Yeah they never were the worst company in America they were just a target of a bunch of angry gamers.
There are far worse vile companies out there that are doing shit that actually effects the world and peoples lives. What's the worst thing EA has done? Laid off people like every business does? Ship some shitty games? I don't know if i would even list them in my top worst video game companies if we are taking into account mobile gaming companies.
Sure they were.
I would say that their vacating the worst company spot was an equal effort of them getting better and other companies getting worse.
They never were. A bunch of losers voted them down, EA got so much negative publicity, doesn't matter that other companies destroy both people and environment.
NFS needs an internet connection. I ... i dont think that wake up call was loud enough
That's what I mean. The western world actually, as a whole, felt the ramifications if a few banks fucking up because of their own wallets, a few companies did irreversible damage to our nature that our kids will have go deal with. But nope, let's attack a shitty publisher that doesn't really matter in the long run.
Smh

To me EA is still a criminal organization.
Still usable without internet connection
Did they stop? o.o
Now you get nice worded PR releases while being robbed. How nice of them...
To me EA is still a criminal organization that scammed me out of 130 Euros calling me a thief and a pirate. Fuck this scum.
So after the previous "Worst Company in America" EA has:
- Released the horror version of Dungeon Keeper.
- The always online DRM with Sim City.
- Killed Maxis.
- Released mediocre versions of The Sims, Madden, NBA, UFC and NHL.
- Announced that the next Need for Speed will be always online for single player, and Mirrors Edge 2 is rumored to have the same DRM.
So I ask, did they ever stop?
Also, serious "lol" at the finger wagging crowd trying to shame people for not voting in their pet peeve company instead of EA, as if that would change anything.
Are you people serious?
Note that it says "worst company" not "worst game company." It takes a serious perspective deficit to think EA outranks Chase or Bank of America, companies that have destroyed thousands of people's lives and given zero fucks about it.
Comcast is still far worse. At least EA still makes decent games that people want to buy.
Did they stop? o.o
They stood next to Ubisoft and konami like a hot girl having ugly friends to make them look betterDid they stop? o.o
Fair enough, but im pretty sure that Gaf is talking about them as the worst game company.
After playing the most recent Madden "NFL" football, I'd have to agree, they're still the worst.
SimCity, BF4 and Fuse were the last big fuckups. Things have been much better since then, especially with EA Access.
It always amazes me how seriously people take a poll like this. Who cares if EA "won" worst company over a company that strangles puppies or whatever. They only got a bit of bad publicity out of it, and all the companies nominated have that anyway.
