EA aren't particularly brilliant, but worst company in America? That just seems like silly anti-fanboyism, The reasons given are utterly ridiculous too - they made a game with DRM and have made free-to-play games?!? That's horrifying!
Yeah, I'm not sure what's wrong with f2p. For a guy on my budget, that's what works for me (SWTOR, for example). I throw them a few dollars every now and then when I can, but I don't have to worry about a subscription and feeling like I HAVE to play the game to make it worth the money. Yeah, I know that f2p isn't working for most games in the long run, but done right, I think it can work. The problem is that with a game like SWTOR, they overreached by sinking a buttload of money in a game that doesn't have the audience such an investment requires. Hell, I still think it should have been another SP RPG KotOR anyway.
