Last GTP Alt Cool Wall poll for a few days, I'm going camping tomorrow. No internet.
​
 
Meh. Only two games deserved to wear the EA badge. And that's Burnout 3 and NFS Underground 2.
 
They're greedy, and treat both developers and consumers like dirt, but in turn they've put out some great games over the years and shown some sort of a commitment to including LGBT characters in their games, so for that I can bump them up from the depths of seriously uncool to merely being mildly uncool.
 
Seriously uncool because of Porsche rights.
Seriously uncool because of naming their games a year LATER than the season featured in the game.
Seriously uncool because of DLC.
Seriously uncool because of games with few features.

I actually like a lot of their games like Battlefield, some Need for Speed and older football games, but as developers/publishers they suck.
 
The company many big game developers aspire to be this generation.

Send EA to the 7th circle of Hell.
 
I've got nothing to say because @The Bman said it already

I love Battlefield and FIFA, but I still hate EA for being so greedy with almost everything

Oh and they have exclusive Porsche rights, and they're not doing anything with it, a clear example of their greediness.

Let's get a companion to the Devel Sixteen, please!
 
As scummy as they are these days while toying with increasingly less popular business models, there's no way I can forget the gaming gems they've given us over the years. Along with some of the most well-liked franchises around.

Too bad most of the franchises I enjoyed either stopped dead in their tracks year ago, or ended up becoming buggier rehashes of previous instalments. Now with an added dose of "pay to win". Uncool.
 
Hey, I like the EA games I have, and I don't have many games. I don't know about this weird hatred, and have never come across it.

COOL
 
This is tough... Where do I start?
They ruined most of the franchises they still have. Uncool
They are the greediest, scumiest developers in the buisness. Seriously Uncool
They keep lauching incomplete games and then forces you to pay for the rest (even GT gives it's lacking content for free). Seriously uncool
Some of my favourite games came from them (like 5-10 years ago). Sub-zero

Not even the two or three of their franchises that I like save it from hell
 
Their games are ok unless it's NFS which is fun but it's the same thing repeated nearly every year but, they're the greediest company on Earth, Seriously Uncool.
 
If we could split this up into different decades I bet we would get very different results. But their practices over the last few years have dragged them down to a definite (seriously) uncool.
I find myself a little gutted with voting seriously uncool too, because in the early days they gave me plenty of good games to enjoy but we all know the story now so I guess I don't need to explain further.
 
Probably a "meh". I used to love their old games. Bulls vs Blazers, NBA Live on the SNES are some of my favorites from my childhood. I rarely play games these days, but I do remember enough of their business tactics last few years to avoid anything they are selling.
 
Almost Sub Zero, but the fact that it's EA and not just EA Sports makes it Seriously Uncool
 
I have a history with EA as seen with my avatar. But this is today, soo...

You have some of the most unexcusable releases in the form of Battlefield 4.

You have a wreck in the form of EA Sports.

You butchered Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3.

You had to charge 5 games worth of DLC to have the best experience on any of The Sims.

You made one of my favorite racing games of all time: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, and messed up what's after (except Most Wanted)

You still gave us hope for Star Wars: Battlefront 3.

You made SimCity OnlineOnlySimHell.

While you may be seriously uncool, EA isn't the most evil of all companies. Aside from scam a riffic business plans, they're in no way a man that would take candy from a baby.
 
Best Gaming Company in the Universe.

Subzero.

There is no punchline. Nothing to see here, Porsche-loving haters... : - p
 
Wasn't EA keeping GT from getting Ferrari at one point?

The last good NFS gamse they had was NFS:HP2 and NFS4.

They dont care about good games.

They will just recycle the same crap.

Battlefield Halloween edition.
Replaced textures with halloween themed ones.

Price $99


They are Absolute Zero.

It was Microsoft. That's why the Shift Ferrari DLC was only on the Xbox.
