Well, if you look at the way the poll is done, it's a mirror image of the NCAA March Madness tournament. So a company that may be worse than EA might have not made it to the next bracket for whatever reason. Just modeling it after the Final 4 bracket gives it a tongue-in-cheek feeling, and to get all bent out of shape over it like you are seems a bit silly.

It's not just this poll. This poll is meaningless and will be forgotten in a few days. It's what the poll represents. The absurd frivolous attitude of consumers today, especially gamers. They are completely disconnected from the much more serious issues our country faces. Corporations and government organizations get more power and influence over our lives every day, but what is #1 on peoples list of worries? DLC, and game endings.

It's that kind of frivolous thinking that I absolutely despise.

EA's my least favorite game company, but the biggest threat they are to the public is that they make bad video games. It's not even an essential good, let alone a product that puts the company in a position to actually harm the public good.
