So winning last year was not a fluke! Guess who won the Golden Poo Award for 2013? Beat out BP and Bank of America - yeppers, and deservedly so. This is a great article about how the powers that be really feel about us. And the sad thing is the last sentence - It might be too early to fill out next year's Worst Company in America bracket, but I'd say right now the smart money says it will be a three-peat.

Interesting though that they never mention POGO and, unless I read it too quickly, the only close reference is the sequelling of games (HOGs?) and the nickel and diming of customers.  I agree... maybe a three-peat is in their future.

I think that since all of Pogo has to go thru EA Help they probably only read the complaints as EA complaints. Considering this survey involves companies like the ones mentioned (banks and oil companies) and also cable companies, cell phone companies, hotels, airlines, restaurant and more, it says a lot to have a gaming site anywhere on the list. All of the recent EA cards I have gotten this year have a SIMS code that was put there to placate the complaints EA has gotten regarding EA Sims massive problems.

The Consumerist article gives a bit more of an explanation of why they have won it, yet again: http://consumerist.com/2013/04/09/ea-makes-worst-company-in-america-history-wins-title-for-second-year-in-a-row/

Remembered seeing this when they released it last month and wasn't surprised. It came right on the heels of the Sim City 5 debacle. lol
