Yea, no. EA is bad, but isn't nearly as bad as companies like Palantir.
- Nestle is arguably the worst company in the world. EA sucks, but it isn't even close.
I wouldn't call EA anywhere close to the worst company in the world.
Serious contenders based on their overall effect on humanity would be Monsanto, RTX, Aramco, UnitedHealth and Nestlé.
- It's from PC Gamer, so I think it's safe to say they mean worst gaming company in the world. They could have said that though.
  Even limited to gaming, EA, Ubisoft, and Activision have always been pretty much tied for it. Now Activision is part of Microsoft, and I think with both Activision and Bethesda and the shit the latter has caused lately, I think we can bump Ubisoft out. And I think when Copilot gaming rolls out, whatever they're calling that, they'll be worse than EA was before. The problem with EA isn't so much what they were before though, it's what they'll be under SA leadership.
  Gaming by megacorps has never been good for gamers, and it's going to get worse. And yet people keep supporting them.
  
  Wtf is copilot gaming?
- Remember when we thought we had it bad?
- Exxon, Philip Morris, Boeing, Northrop Grumman...
  
  Do they make video games?
- Aramco and not Raytheon or Lockheed Martin or Palantir or Blackrock?
  
  Raytheon is now called RTX.
  They're the ones who are so evil they keep having to rename themselves.
- DuPont
Nominating EA for "worst company" always has been ridiculous. Gamers need to touch some grass.
- In a world where big tech, Nestlé, and Monsanto exist, the OP is way out of touch with reality.
- We didn't know how good we had it.

noone mentioned Amazon because you'll happily let them destroy the world for 2-day shipping
With lots of new EA titles requiring invasive kernel level anti-cheat, I don’t see what could go wrong here _/s
- If I need to install their client to play a game, I just don't play it.
"Arab country bad"
- Saudi Arabia is absolutely bad. I'd go so far as to call them the EA of Countries.
