EA is poised to win the “Worst Company in America” award for a second year running from consumer activist website “The Consumerist”.<\/p>\n
In a pre-emptive response to this, EA Chief Operating Office Peter Moore took to the EA blog to defend the company.<\/p>\n
Along the way he asserted that millions of EA and Orgin gamers are satisfied with the company and its services, as are the millions of free-to-play gamers using micro-transactions. The Consumerist had some strong reactions to his claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n Moore did admit the company had made mistakes:<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be the first to admit that we\u2019ve made plenty of mistakes. These include server shut downs too early, games that didn\u2019t meet expectations, missteps on new pricing models and most recently, severely fumbling the launch of SimCity.\u00a0 We owe gamers better performance than this.<\/p>\n Some of these complaints are 100 percent legitimate \u2013 like all large companies we are not perfect. But others just don\u2019t hold water:<\/p>\n Every day, millions of people across globe play and love our games \u2013 literally, hundreds of millions more than will vote in this contest.<\/p>\n So here\u2019s my response to this poll: We can do better.\u00a0 We will do better.\u00a0 But I am damn proud of this company, the people around the globe who work at EA, the games we create and the people that play them.<\/p>\n The tallest trees catch the most wind.\u00a0 At EA we remain proud and unbowed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n EA nominated for \u201cWorst Company in America\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Battlefield 4 SA pricing revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Humanity played Mass Effect 3 for over 8,000 years<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
