EA is the worst company related to gaming hands down. I will give a great example: Warhammer Online. They forced it to release early without the ENGINE ITSELF actually being done. They released it with like 500 servers so there was 20 people per server. Directly after it was released they cut the budget for development into 1/3rd and opened up a cash shop style store when the game is already b2p and p2p. They actually literally stole from people, I cancelled my warhammer online subscription 3 times and it kept charging anyway until I had to call them and threaten them if it happens again, many people had the same problem. One month there was an error where warhammer charged accounts multiple times until there was no money left, some people were charged like $5,000 or more. Now the game is completely dead.
Main reasons EA are forgettards:
1. They will do anything for money, they don't care about reputation or consumer loyalty.
2. The following points will be based off number 1. They normally cut the budget on development after releasing a game just to maximize profit by firing a ton of people.
3. DLC on day one, charging for fixes to broken games, expensive DLC nonstop it never ends!
4. Wacky anti-piracy stuff everyone hates.
5. They treat their employees like stuff, many used and tossed aside ex employees have come out and talked about it and even sued.
6. They will do anything for money, they don't care about reputation or consumer loyalty.
I am one of the few people that actually boycott them now. I will never buy a game with EA as the publisher no matter how amazing it is and everyone loves it unless they learn to treat their employees and customers right.
