gaming What Is The WORST Gaming Company?

[Megas 27,765]

I agree, except for halo 4, that was fucking atrocious

I gotta ask, since I'm playing it right now, but what's everyone's beef with Halo 4? I've only played the first couple of levels, but so far I've been really enjoying it

If you play any of the other games you'll realize, also read my review on metacritic:

EA games for sure! They destroyed west wood and ruined command and conquer the Tiberium saga forever Now they control Lucas Arts Celestia help us all.

I think EA are all money-grabbing little (CENSORED)

 

Also, whoever makes all the Call of Duty games cos they suck.

 

Even though i hate EA, Battlefield is always amazing, but all the work goes to DICE and FROSTBITE3 for the BF series.

[Jorguil 54]

I have a question anyone know how many companies ea has bought out and ruined over the years?

[Zhortac 1,474]

Nexon needs to die in a fire. And take Maple Story with it. And while they're at it, Neopets can burn in hell too.

 

Atari isn't doing to well in the last decade, and Acivision is shit. Square-Enix is dancing in that line of suck.

Isn't Atari already defunct?

No, but they should be. They give more bullcrap deadlines, then any other company, and everything they are part of is below sub-par.

[Chacobos 160]

Deep Silver for supporting Eutechnyx's Ride to Hell. Both know it's a BROKEN AND SHITTY game and have the audacity to announce it as a saga. At least EA's booted forced deadlines release games with potential to be good. 

[Prince Doopliss 2,351]

EA, 2K Games, Modern Sega (really what have the done other than Sonic Games?) Xbox exclusive games (really there are probably a few good one, but I just hate Xbox as a whole) and well that is all I can think of.

[Tigerpop198 696]

Capcom, on disk dlc, really is that necessary at all.

[Justin_Case001 4,903]

 

Though they at least managed to produce ONE pot of gold:

 

Ljn also made True Lies on SNES.  Not a masterpiece, but also not a steaming pile of goat sh*t.  Anyway, for worst game company, I was gonna say EA and Ljn,  but obviously everyone beat me to it.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

Zynga. Why does nobody ever mention the developers of the dreaded Farmville? As well as starting up perhaps the worst genre of games ever.

 

(Okay, I don't know WHAT THIS BUCKING TRASH IS?!?!)

 

Sure their games are successful on Facebook, but the only reason these loads of $#!+ even close to succeed at all is because of the fact THEY ARE ON FACEBOOK. Or somehow addicting to an audience that fails to see the obvious lack of quality these games have?

I don't know. But these people and they're $#!+ need to just dissolve and leave the world stage. I'm sorry, but these games suck that badly.

 

Though for greediness, I would say Electronic Arts.

 

I mean really something is really wrong with a company that DELIBERATELY makes their game (although one of the best ever, I'm talking about BF4) CRASH on a PC platform, so the customer will buy another one assuming that it was a faulty disk. Nope, it's just greed. Plus taking advantage of Infinity Ward's business model by making (what used to be) absolutely cruddy games. I mean how the heck is Battlefield Bad Company in ANY WAY fun? It's an overrealistic and terribly balanced game. I mean by BF3 it got a little better (gosh darn overranged MP7's) But by BF4, the balance got fluid and great. The gameplay was ACTUALLY FUN FOR ONCE. But that's when they decided to deliberately make the PC customer spend twice as much for the SAME GAME as the console customer.

Stellar Stone. Just my 5 cents.

[Owldelicious 17]

I want to jump to the obvious response of EA but Blizzard Entertainment is slowly gaining that title, if they haven't already.

[baba_booey 4,303]

LJN.

Wisdom Tree..

 

Yeah.

[PowderHound 10]

EA: The Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts of the modern day

Reasons:

-Day-one DLC on disc (holding back content)

-Killing off good franchises into mediocrity like Command and Conquer

-Rushed Bioware into giving us a bad ending for ME3

-iOS Dungeon keeper unplayable without paying (Despite being Freemium)

-Making Titanfall Xbox PC exclusive (As a Playstation gamer, this really infuriates me)

-Rushing broken games out the door like BF4

-The most Pathetic customer service ever

-Game breaking DRM in SimCity

-Supporting SOPA

-Wanting to raise game prices to $80

-Micro transactions in Dead Space 3

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303]

Just going to echo what many people have already said: EA lol.

 

I don't respect them as a gaming company / developer, and I honestly feel as though I could go the rest of my life without ever playing another EA title.  I say this despite having enjoyed Dead Space 1 and 2, but EA has consistently rubbed me the wrong way or disappointed me.

[GoneForeverBye 184]

-Supporting SOPA

-Wanting to raise game prices to $80

Well well well. Guess I'm joining the EA-hate club now. :>

[Shadowmoth2011 150]

I'll hop on the EA hate-train too. Several games they've made are my childhood, but there isn't a day that goes by where I don't weep for the closure of Maxis. 

[Megas 27,765]

Ubisoft, EA, or Activision. I don't know whether EA killing beloved studios for underperforming games or Activision moving all of the devs they have to work on the same damn franchise is worse, probably Activision because they do it even when a dev is successful(See Toys for Bob and Vicarious Vision). On the other hand, afaik, EA doesn't have any serious work place harassment or terrible working conditions like Ubisoft or Activision do. I think in that regard Ubisoft is worse just because Activision's actually being raked along the coals while Ubisoft unfortunately has been able to escape most of the brunt

[baba_booey 4,303]

Gonna parrot what other people are saying with EA, Activision and Ubisoft. The latter two particularly for having a history of bad workplace treatment which I think most people are aware of by now.

[Magic Note 2,749]

While several people said EA, Activision and Ubisoft (the latter two esp. with their toxic workplace culture), which I definitely agree with, I'll throw in another one as well: Take-Two Interactive and its subsidiaries. They're greedy and have been milking GTA5/GTA Online until the cows come home. They also released the definitive cash grab of the GTA Trilogy last November that introduced hundreds of glitches that didn't exist in the original games. The $60 USD price tag is not worth it either, when it added nothing to the table except minimal quality of life stuff and questionable graphics updates. If this is your way to get back at DMCAing modders for alleged copyright infringement, then congratulations, you've turned your fans against you.

Another reason why they're greedy: Just look at how they made NBA 2K20 like a literal casino game. Pokémon can't have gambling anymore due to stricter gambling restrictions in European countries, but T2/2K can due to a loophole.

I'm surprised nobody has said Konami yet. It's hard to believe now that they were once one of the most beloved gaming companies in existence.

They once made Tiny Toon Adventures:  Buster's Hidden Treasure didn't they?
