250,000 votes were cast in The Consumerist’s poll and the people online have spoken, EA had won The Consumerist ‘Worst Company in America’ award and have gotten the Golden Poo trophy, beating out fellow competition though Best Buy, Gamestop, Comcast, Paypal and Walmart, finally defeating the Bank of America in the final round.
EA seems to have taken the victory in good spirits though, stating: “We’re sure that bank presidents, oil, tobacco and weapons companies are all relieved they weren’t on the list this year. We’re going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide.”
