It's kinda baffling EA's the worst company in USA second year around next to Bank of America and Exxon Mobil, it frightens me that mediocre video games are considered far worse than massive environment destruction among so many gamers, bit disturbing if you ask me, but that's for another discussion. Honestly, I don't understand all the hate towards EA. Sure, they made some poor decisions in recent years, though people seem to forget just how many great games they released in these last few years alone (Bad Company 2, Crysis, Dead Space 1&2, Dragon Age: Origins, FIFA 12, Mass Effect 1&2, Mirrors Edge, Shift 1&2...).
Reasons behind some of this hate often make no sense whatsoever, like microtransactions for instance. It's completely optional, it doesn't affect your gameplay, you can unlock everything just fine by normal playthrough, so why the uproar? While a solid game SimCity's release was a ****ing disgrace, while there were several indentical if not worse releases ("cough"Blizzard"cough", "cough"Valve"cough") funny enough only EA offered it's biggest titles at that time as a form of apology, "pitchforks and torches" were there nevertheless. I'm not trying to defend EA, well, perhaps I am, I ****ing hate their DLC policy though, DLC in general, it just seems to me gamers have certain tag on them which in my humble opinion they don't quite deserve.
