In My Opinion they ruin properties they buy, and flog the ones they come up with to death.

The golden era of Pay2Win is coming to a close...*sniffs and hugs his baby seal skin throw pillow*.

HAHAHAHAHAHA...HA

Nice find

[Adridos]

They deserve it.

Too bad studios like DICE and IPs like C&C won't get away from them.

[Arctic Fox]

I am in full agreement with this award.

[Skoll]

Guess some companies do get their just desserts.

HAHAHAHAHA. I loathe EA with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns. Kinda redundant saying burning since stars are giant balls of fire (roughly not scientifically). Most things I've seen from EA have only been mediocre I've never seen a good game. Entertaining yes but not good.

I posted that link on my Facebook a few hours ago, most people seem to agree there haha.

Hey, why isn't this on EA's press page?

Shouldn't they be basking in the glory?

[Adridos]

I hope it will be in the news. And an official ceremonial.

Sad thing is, I can remember when EA meant good games, back at the beginning...Starflight, Mail Order Monsters, Archon, 7 Cities of Gold, Robot Rascals, M.U.L.E., Standing Stones...where did it all go wrong?

The day they noticed they don't have to make good games and look after their customers to make money, if they can turn them upside down and grab it, while others make those games under a certain amount of pressure and a draconian contract...

**** EA. (and the capitalist system, i might add...)

I am so glad to see EA's finally getting what they deserve... They killed themselves with all the BS they pulled with SW:TOR. I am personally Boycotting EA since January. Unfortunately I didnt know about that Award else I would have voted too lol.

I had to look up every single one of those. Hard to believe its been that long since they put a good game out.

Hell hath no fury like me when I found out I not only had to buy the game (which included 30 days), but couldn't play it until I entered into a recurring subscription through credit card or bought another time card, while those 30 days were still being used up.

Usually there's fierce competition for a trophy like that, but EA left the rest of the field far behind.

Same story as Activision. They made awesome games, Mechwarrior inclouded, but then became $$$vision and started buying successful compaines. They turn them into money cows, but at least they didn't ruin any franchise.
