User blog comment:Th3 razor/Electronic Arts voted 'Worst American Company' by Consumerist readers/@comment-3516756-20120407031716/@comment-1726879-20120410082203

Theres also a fair bit of hate on the table for them for introducing "online passes" as well as some of the incredibly agressive bans (getting banned from everything, games included for saying a naughty word on the internetz), abyssmal effort to patch the games that are broken (it took an entire blackout just to get them to even bother to reply, and they still didn't patch for a good while), as well as the Dragon Age franchise, and I'm sure that there's a list of other reasons that people are against them.

Sure, some companies out there make mistakes, but they are innocent little mistakes, while EA seems to have decided it wants to spoil everything for everyone. While I can tolerate some of the things they have done, It's no wonder others are angry with them, and as a whole, all of these things add up and in total are just unacceptable. Hence the award.
