SimCity and microtransactions have tarnished EA's reputation

Electronic Arts has earned the dubious honor of being named for the second year in a row the worst company in the United States of America, according to an online poll.

EA's reputation amongst gamers isn't the best one, especially after controversial releases like SimCity or its microtransaction-heavy business practices.

As a result, the publisher has now been named, for the second year in a row, the worst company in America according to an online poll ran by website The Consumerist.

EA managed to overtake other shady controversial companies like AT&T or Bank of America.

Despite EA COO Peter Moore explaining to fans in an open letter that the publisher will strive for a better relationship with gamers, it seems that many are still unconvinced and wanted to punish EA for its practices.
