EA won the "Worst Company in America" Award on The Consumerist this year, after it managed to beat SONY, Best Buy, Comcast, AT&T and finally even the Bank of America in the yearly user vote: http://consumerist.com/2012/04/congratulations-ea-you-are-the-worst-company-in-america-for-2012.html
EA's reaction was a little butthurt: http://kotaku.com/5899092/worst-company-in-america-ea-says-halliburton-must-be-relieved-it-wasnt-nom
At least they have their priorities straight on what to be most proud of making games.
Oh well, Worst Company In America 2012 is officially in the books. All that's left to do is send off the Golden Poo to EA.
Traditionally, the Poo has been delivered on its little red pillow. But this year, we'll give EA three different color options for its pillow, though in the end it's still the same old Poo.

In a statement to Kotaku, EA Senior Director of Corporate Communications John Reseburg said:
We're sure that British Petroleum, AIG, Philip Morris, and Halliburton are all relieved they weren't nominated this year. We're going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide.
Reseburg also said the Human Rights Campaign is currently circulating a position to support the publisher's "decision to have developers include same-sex relationships in recent games including Star Wars: The Old Republic and Mass Effect 3." He also brought up the fact that EA-owned studio BioWare made it to the finals of the 'Best Developer' contest run by gaming site The Escapist.
At least they have their priorities straight on what to be most proud of making games.
