User blog comment:Th3 razor/Electronic Arts voted 'Worst American Company' by Consumerist readers/@comment-1441235-20120407031127/@comment-1441235-20120407055607

A few points:


 * Retailers selling used games is no different than people selling their own games online or in person. EA wouldn't be making any profit if I was to sell off Battlfield or Mass Effect, now would they? You didn't see Nintendo or any other big publishers crying about how people selling/trading their N64 cartridges was hurting their sales.


 * Nobody else was lopping off access to half their game until you buy their pass just because its used prior to EA starting that trend, so I will wholeheartedly hold that against them.


 * I place the blame solely on EA for the decline in Bioware's games. Notice how I hadn't mentioned Bioware at all? EA as a company is a leech that sucks the creativity and originality out of almost every developer they've acquired.


 * DA2 being fine is your opinion, one which I disagree with. In my opinion, DA2 compared to DA: O is like comparing dirt to gold.


 * Finally, having respect for the developers is wholly different from accepting whatever trash they happen to deign to throw to the masses. The ending of ME3 was horrible, and the oh-to-obvious cliffhanger "BUY DRAGONAGE 3" ending to DA2 was again horrible. Defend them if you please, but I won't be sipping the KoolAid.
