Here (http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/electronic-arts-named-worst-company-america-again-170932002.html) is a link to the story.
I know from my personal experiance I can agree with it.
Not sure about worst company in America... but certainly leaning on the dirty side. For our group's part... they got all our money with a couple dozen licenses of BF2142 + Northern Strike licenses... then killed the game off with an update that was never publicized to the players! So all of a sudden all the legit servers were off the game server list and the vast majority of users had no clue why--or how to find an update. And to get the update to work required 12 step instructions and about an hour of time installing three patches in a row, etc.
I still log in to 2142 every few months. My heart sinks since it was such an awesome game. But it's a wasteland where only a handful of servers run the same maps 24/7.
I hate EA for all that (and it is a great contrast to Valve). At the same time... I'm sure I'll be a sucker if they come out with BF 2143.
EA keeps bringing out shitty games, so why not?
I really loved this game, probably the only BF game i did enjoy xD
