EA, Microsoft Nominated For Worst Company In America
Electronic Arts could three-peat as Worst Company in America, and console maker/software giant Microsoft is also part of the bracket.
The Consumerist put up its Worst Company in America tournament bracket up, and two game industry giants made the cut. Electronics Arts, which has won the "award" two years running. With the botching of Battlefield 4's launch and the Dungeon Keeper mobile ratings scandal, we expect it will do well.
Microsoft is also in the running, but we suspect for the failings of its business/Windows division and not its gaming offerings.

Our Take:
EA definitely knows how to create PR scandals for itself, and I wouldn't be surprised if it takes the prize again.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
