Is EA Games a terrible company?

Another potentially argumentative thread from me, but I was just wondering what everyone's opinion on EA is. Personally I think they're pretty bad. What're your thoughts?

I don't really focus on companies, so anything I could, and would say about EA would be completely ignorant.

I do however, love the Madden series, and I believe they made the Sims and others.

As a whole, I wouldn't have an idea to why they won "Worst Company in America".

I'll post a list of why they deserved the title when I can be bothered.

Actually this article capitalized on most things wrong with them.

http://www.braindiesel.com/2012/03/list-of-things-ea-has-done-that-are.html

It might look like it was written by some disgruntled gamer, but most of the points brought up a lot of people agree with.

On top of that, they've recently decided to up the pricing of their games by a substantial amount for absolutely no reason (Note that this was after they said that next gen games would be far easier to make).

Aaand then they were voted the worst company in America, and decided to start arguing with people about it (obviously they wouldn't be the worst company, but clearly they're pissing of their client base and aren't doing a thing about it. If anything they're placing the blame on the consumers).

I don't think they are the worst company in America. There are far worse companies out there.
They do have bad habits and don't listen to their customers, but they do own several series that are really fun.
They just need to learn to leave games alone and to stop finding ways to make money without thinking of what the gamer wants.

My thoughts exactly.

I also think they should own up to their mistakes rather than pin the blame on others. Calling all their gamers 'entitled' just contradicts the purpose of a company.

There's not that much wrong with them... They do great sports games.

I'm not a fan of EA. From my experience, they are simply out to make money and it shows in their games. I've also had really bad customer support from them.

Not when they put alot of their games in the humble origin bundle. It includes copy's for steam and origin. Sweet!
