meh, internet polls gonna be internet polls

if EA is the worst company in America, that poll is seriously worth ****.

Hey who is worse, a company that is now focused on day -1 DLC or a comapny that caused a global recession. Hmmm, I really hate DLC! Has to be EA!

EA is a really awful company. I know several people who have worked for them and all hated it. They treat their game testers like cattle. $8 an hour, no benefits. I go out of my way not to purchase any of their products.

At least EA isn't all bad:

Quote:

EA is the target of an anti-gay letter-writing campaign.

The company has received "several thousand" letters objecting to its inclusion of same-sex relationships in recent games.
...
Many of the letters come from Florida, base of the Florida Family Association, which recently posted a call to action against SW:TOR's LGBT content, and which claims that "extremists" forced EA to include the content.

Brown added, "EA has not been pressured by any groups to include LGBT characters in our games. However, we have met with LBGT groups and sponsored industry forums to discuss content and harassment of players in online forums. In short, we do put options for same-sex relationships in our games; we don't tolerate hate speech on our forums."

Anytime you're pissing off a group with the words "Family Association" in their name, you're doing God's work.

Can't believe EA beat Comcast.

USPS looks about right, standard move for them is to deliver me a "sorry we missed you, please pick up your package at our xxxxx office location", which makes no sense because I live in a condo building w/ a 24 hr concierge. The mailman can't get to the mailboxes without the concierge personally being there to let them through the door.

I would put FedEx ahead of USPS. Only time I've dealt with FedEx is when I paid extra for one day shipping aka. pick it up at their local facility after they leave a note on your door saying no one was there to sign for it.

I've been boycotting EA for a few years now. All the people who are baffled by EA being an awful company are straight up wrong. Those pointing out EA's scumbaggery are right.
