Well they certainly can’t turn it into the worst gaming company because EA still exists.
I think Activision-Blizzard passed EA in badness years ago. Maybe Square Enix did too.
Like, when's the last time there was an EA controversy beyond "game's bad?" And even then I've only really heard sports games and Battlefield are bad.
I dunno, I still think EA has them beat on greed with microtransactions. The new launcher is absolutely littered with Battlefield 4 shortcut packs at full price (lol) and Sims stuff, hell I don't even play The Sims. You're not wrong about ActiBlizz though, I am pretty pissed at them for shutting down Overwatch and I don't like OW2 so I don't play it. But I've always felt like EA was trying to nickle and dime everyone to death more than any other company. And I absolutely hate what they've done with Respawn. But yeah, you make a good argument. They both suck.
