Default EA voted worst company in America, two years on the trot.

Following last year’s surprise Worst Company In America victory by Electronic Arts, there was hope that the video game giant would get the message: Stop treating your customers like human piggy banks, and don’t put out so many incomplete and/or broken games with the intent of getting your customers to pay extra for what they should have received in the first place. And yet, here we are again, with EA becoming the first company to ever win a second Golden Poo from Consumerist readers.

After an astounding number of votes, Consumerist readers once again chose EA over Bank of America, with the video game company taking nearly 78% of the vote.

I think it's a bit silly, EA are bad, sure, but there are much worse companies in America.

EA deserves this for ruining Dragon Age 2 alone.

A terrible company.

Justified IMO. Along with Infinity Ward they exploit their franchise games to the max.

Totally agree that they shouldn't of gotten the crown really. However, it's hilarious. And they should just think 'shat, are we really that bad in the eyes of gamers?... maybe we should look to improve'.

Pipe dream, unfortunately.
