What does it Mean to win Worst Company in America award?

Last year, Electronic Arts came out of nowhere and won The Consumerist's annual Worst Company in America competition. This competition was designed to highlight the worst of the worst companies when it came to its consumer presence. When EA graciously accepted the award, it kindly reminded voters just who its real competition is by listing previous award winners.

We’re sure that British Petroleum, AIG, Philip Morris, and Halliburton are all relieved they weren’t nominated this year. We’re going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide.

What does it mean for the games industry, and EA specifically, to be likened to some of the largest insurance, oil, tobacco and weapons companies in the world? Companies that have a more direct connection to the quality of life of billions of people. What does it mean to be crowned worst of the worst in America?

Regardless of the over impact or seriousness of its faults, we know much of what EA did to win that award. Online passes, NFL monopolies, Spore, and Mass Effect 3, just to name a few. But really after all the brewhaha last year during and following the contest, what does it mean to be nominated a second time? Even after declaring that you were cleaning up your ways?

“I think we will see a dramatic shift in the company,” Lawder told CNET. “We’re not there yet. There’s still a ways to go before we’re considered a world-class customer experience.”

For the second year in a row, EA has been nominated for the Golden Poo award. It seems that despite Lawder's claims, EA has yet to improve on its image. The whole SimCity thing hasn't helped things out either. Things are so bad at EA, from a consumer perspective, that it handed Anheuser Busch a sound thrashing in the first round. Seriously, EA is worse than a beer monopoly wannabe.

Do you agree that the gaming community tend to overreact when things go badly on a games launch?

@LilyxLightning @therealcliffyb Except EA really DOES suck, so there is that.. SimCity was just the latest debacle in a long string of fail.

I think EA should compensate players with another set of game for lying to their customers before saying SimCity cannot be played offline...

@Kotank6400 It will escalate if it keeps happening. Blizzard felt D3, EA felt simcity.

EA Crushes the Competition in Worst Company in America: Round 2

In what can only be called a savage beating, Electronic Arts beat the holy hell out of Facebook in the latest round of The Consumerist's Worst Company in America. EA is like 1980's Mike Tyson so far. In the first round it beat down and crushed Anheuser-Bucsch with 92% of the vote. Against Facebook, it was a similar beating, with 79%. Sure, it is a dubious distinction for EA, but it is likely that the SimCity launch trumps everything questionable thing done on Facebook or at the breweries of Anheuser-Bucsch. It is likely that SimCity players who feel like EA burned them badly are being very vocal in this contest.

The next major battle for EA will be against AT&T - who managed to beat Verizon, Apple, and Microsoft to make it to the third round. Other winners going to the fourth round are Wal-Mart and Bank of America. Meanwhile Carnival and Spirit Airlines are still slugging it out for a third-place spot, as are Time Warner Cable and FedEx. Finally, Comcast and DirecTV are vying for that third spot to go up against the winner of the TWC-FedEx fight.
