Despite having "won" this thing for the past two years, this year EA got bumped off in the very first round. Who beat them? Time Warner Cable. o_O; That's right, the very same cable company through whom I recently got Internet access. Apparently, TWC is somehow worse than EA this year, at least according to the voters in this relatively silly and pointless poll, anyway. Go figure. While I personally wouldn't say that EA is better than TWC by any yardstick you care to measure them with, I still don't think EA would have deserved the title of worst company period, as I said in previous years. Of course, they are still the worst game company, in my opinion, despite very stiff competition from the likes of Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Square-Enix, Zynga, King, and several others.
