Electronic Arts is not the most popular company around at the moment. In fact, they were just voted the worst company in America for the second year in a row. This is largely due to their relentless pursuit of more money via microtransactions and their attempts at trying to control consumers with the Online Pass system—a system that requires you to enter a code in order to play one of their games online, effectively stopping people from buying used games (unless you wanted to pay an extra $10 for a new code) or borrowing them from a friend.

People have been enraged about these things for a while now, and have let EA know it every chance they’ve had, including with the consecutive worst company titles mentioned above. But it appears the company is listening to these complaints and are looking to do some repair work.

It’s been confirmed by EA that they will no longer being using the Online Pass system in future games, which should mean that you’ll be able to use all of one of their games’ features after you buy it, new or used.

Recently we found out what many video game fans had been fearing: Disney was going to close down LucasArts, the branch of Lucasfilm that developed and published games, including many Star Wars game series such as Battlefront, Knights of the Old Republic, and The Force Unleashed.

Though Disney had chosen to shut down the gamemaker, it was clear that they weren’t just going to stop focusing on video games, and that their plan moving forward would be to license out their games to other game companies to to make and publish.

Fans had a wishlist of where their favorite game franchise might land, but Disney instead chose to go in the direction many of you might have expected them to go. Enter Electronic Arts, one of the biggest video game publishers on the planet, who just signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Disney.

Last year around this time, video game publishing juggernaut Electronic Arts was voted Worst Company in America in the annual vote by The Consumerist, beating out companies like Bank of America and joining former winners including Comcast, AIG, and BP.

Well, it would appear that trying to improve their image by making a large donation to a good cause could not help them. EA has, yet again, been dubbed the worst of the worst. And for the first time ever, a company has been voted Worst Company in America for a second consecutive year. Not even BP pulled that off!
