babaganoosh13 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) ...only to come back to BoA foreclosing your office building, even though EA doesn't do business with them, and it's in Canada. Edited April 9, 2013 by babaganoosh13 You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
Hurlshort Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Oddly enough, I like BofA a lot. I've been with them since I was a teenager and they've always done right by me. I've found most fees they've hit me with were easy to get waived, and I even refinanced a car with them a couple years ago and saved money. Granted I have never had a home loan with them, that could change my outlook. But yeah, EA is just a game company, it's hard to have much righteous indignation because my SimCity game took a few weeks to work properly. I have no experience with Ticketmaster, but Comcast sucks. Comcast should be in the finals.
Bos_hybrid Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 It's a joke really. EA makes games. The worst thing they can do is make a bad game, hardly worthy of the worst company in the US.
NOK222 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 They could have just made worst game company, honestly Ka-ka-ka-ka-Cocaine!
Nepenthe Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Nah, that's THQ.... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

babaganoosh13 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 EA didn't make history being the first company to repeat, you at home made history. I loved that meme last year. 1 You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
BBMorti Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 'But they just sell games!!?!1' The criteria s of the vote was not what company was in the darkest field of business, but how it was run.
alanschu Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I suppose that's an issue with using the title "Worst Company in America" then.
Cultist Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Every time I remember games, companies and franchises they ruined, I open this image and everything looks a bit brighter. Edited April 23, 2013 by Cultist
Hurlshort Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 All that really shows is that their stock was grossly overvalued for awhile. 2012 does not look like a good year though.

Zoraptor Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 EA shares have increased by 70% from their 52 week low! Celebrate! (Selective graph data is selective, in other words. Borked Y scale, X scale set to stop at lowest rather than most recent point. I rate this as a D- statistically, with a confidence interval of 95% and margin of error of +/- one grade level)
Gorth Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 It's rather obvious when the global financial crisis struck... Maybe that's what makes him happy. All the new homeless people. Gives you somebody to point fingers at (seems to make some people feel better when other people suffer). “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
alanschu Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) I always just found it interesting since people, in the wake of ME3 and all the movements that spawned out of it, were so diligently reporting on any sort of share price drop, and I always wondered what they thought that that actually meant. Especially all the statements about how it was like a noose wrapped around our necks and the like, and how it was reflective of their various movements having an effect. I came away pretty convinced that people actually had no real clue what exactly the stock market really measures and what who is really affected by changes in the share price and all. But I guess it let them think that they were sending a message or something and it validated some sense of skoodenfroody, which is what some people were looking for (even if they didn't really understand why they were feeling schadenfreude).

I didn't even notice the selective scaling! Do you consider a one grade level shift to be a D, or a C-? Edited April 24, 2013 by alanschu 1

Zoraptor Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Hah! I didn't even notice the selective scaling! Do you consider a one grade level shift to be a D, or a C-? A grade shift would be incremental, ie C+ to C or B-, as a full letter shift is a 15% change of mark either way. And having said that I'd have to grade my grading pretty poorly as well; E is reserved for Did Not Sit, so a +/- margin of error cannot apply on a D- grading. 1
Malcador Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 As mildly amusing as EA imploding would be, highly doubt that's going to happen anytime soon. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Eh, I just assumed the standard convention of "skip E and go directly to F."
Zoraptor Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 We don't give F's any more. In school there are only about three (!) grades given now and at uni E is the lowest grade; and if you write your name on the paper you get a D-.
alanschu Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Huh! F is still very much a grade at the University of Alberta. Though They seem to just skip on the D- and go from D straight to F!
