South Park: Tenorman's Revenge is truly up there with some of the absolute worst games of all time.

Damn, you guys are spoiled if stuff like Dragon Age 2 is considered "worst of this gen". Play Mindjack or Facebreaker or Rock of the Dead sometime and see what awful truly looks like.

I bought UFC Undisputed 3 and I got Call of Juarez & X-Men Destiny used for super cheap (sub-$12 combined). I haven't had cash since quitting my job last November, and I've just been busy with my backlog so no real purchases until Max Payne 3/Diablo III in May.

If she called you a conformist, she's probably a fake lesbian.

Diablo III

I haven't owned a Nintendo home console since the N64 days (and even then, I bought it late into the cycle and had a shoddy collection of games where the two worth playing were Ridge Racer 64 and Super Smash Bros.) So I'm most likely going to buy a Wii U just so I can experience Nintendo first-party games again and catch up on the great Wii stuff I missed out on the first time.

I wanna play some GC stuff, however, so I kinda want to buy an older Wii as well. But who knows.

@Dany: I'm just messing with ya, brother. I was here when the news hit. Strange things have happened. Also stepped away from Screened since I went there for Alex & Rorie, but open to new writers & personalities...eventually.

WINNER: DARK SOULS

Here's the thing. The server thing is the only part of this that might bug me, but at worst, it's an inconvenience. It sucks that I won't be able to play EA Sports MMA online anymore (especially since I had an Online Pass for that game), but I can live with servers getting shut down. It's really not something to get worked up about.

You can always opt out of their subscriptions & newsletters without hassle. I've done so myself. DLC for the games I play online (the Battlefield games, stuff like NHL 12 and whatnot) aren't invasive. I haven't bought DLC packs yet for those titles, and I doubt I will.

Origin doesn't bug me in the slightest. Yeah, they're not playing nice with Steam, but EA has their own business practices & they want to stick to them. Nothing wrong with that at all. They're a multi-million dollar corporation, they can do whatever the fuck they want. Blizzard has their own digital store and no one seems to complain about those games not being sold on Steam.

These are all valid criticisms but they aren't reasons to hate a company so much as to vote for them to be "the most evil company in America".

I like Neon. I like WayForward. This'll be cool. Right?

Every gamer SHOULD hate EA.

I couldn't care less about that poll, and EA winning this means more folks get aware of that crap company. Meanwhile if the Bank of America won, who'd give a shit. Everyone knows they suck already.

EA needs to die, won't happen anytime soon but considering how much effort they're putting into screwing over their customers, eventually none is left. EA absolutely dwarfs every other company/publisher in regards to what's bad.

Why? Please explain why.

Because Bioware ain't what it used to be? Sorry about that. Surely that makes EA evil right?

Because Origin exists? Sorry that you can't buy EA games on Steam, why should EA sell their own games through their own store, they don't have the right to do that!

Because they have a ton of DLC & online passes for games? Oh definitely worthy of my bile, considering that Activision, Capcom, Ubisoft, Sony, THQ and a whole mess of other publishers & developers our there totally doesn't do that, right?

Give me a legitimate reason why EA should be considered the worst company in America that's not typical whiny entitled internet bullshit and maybe I'll believe you.
