I was wondering what video game company do you guys hate the most.

Mine goes to EA, and NO IT ISNT EVEN PUT REGARDS TO ME3. A lot of the other titles like BF3 were a big disappointment to me. Other game series have been ruined by the overloads of DLC. (Sims 3) They over advertise every single one of their games and overhype them to the max to end up being a terrible or doesn't deserved hype game. EA continues to hurt the PC gaming market with their service Origin and just wanting to make more money and less for Valve.

I could go on but... I have to cut it off here see what you guys say.

Capcom.

I shouldn't even have to explain why. They've been so terrible lately.

I'm starting to dislike EA over the Online pass thing... It's like a big middle finger to the people who like to buy used games. Now they have to pay 50 bucks more just for the full enjoyment. (Unless you buy it on psn/xbl for 10$) but still it should've been free to begin with...

1. Blizzard

Why do you need to be online for single player

2. Capcom

Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition with Rodeos Five Extra Costumes and a New CD Edition. Also, cancelling Megaman Legends

3. EA

For being EA. Hyped up games that lead to disappointment.

Why can't every studio be ATLUS?

1. Blizzard

Why do you need to be online for single player

Because the auction house would explode and they don't want people to pirate the game. Honestly, Blizzard has really good products but D3 is dropping the ball.

EA because Origin is a thing. Also they compared Steam to Myspace.

I'll have to go with Capcom here. I've been introduced to so many of their newest games, all of which haven't caught my interest in the slightest. They really need to learn to move on instead of just trying to add stuff to their games all year.

I don't think EA or Capcom is all that bad
EA hasn't made that many good games but they did make some good ones like Dead Space,Bayonetta,House of Dead, & lots of good fighting based games.
& I don't really hate any game by Capcom besides megaman....I don't like megaman.I don't like Blizzard at all...=D

The worse is obviously EA. They buy out other companies in attempts to create a monopoly and release terrible sequels to many of those games which in turn ruins the series. They barely ever update their games whether they have a terrible bug or not. They've made stupid decisions overall. They also have terrible customer support like Nexon and only give you common sense procedures such as updating your video card drivers or reinstalling the game. I'd also like to add that their digital rights management system is also one of the most terrible things you'll ever encounter. They only allow 5 activations for a single disc which then causes users to resort to piracy when they happen to upgrade their hardware and are out of activations. A good example of this is Spore. What makes it worse is the fact that their DRM is based on SecuROM which is known to cause problems with CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives and open massive security holes in Windows.

Nexon is a close second though. They host Free to Play MMOs and frankly their servers are terrible, their customer service takes months just to get a response back and they practically made it Pay2win on their more well known MMO Vindictus. Oh and did I mention the compensation for any sort of problems whether they're serious or not is in the most useless items you could get.

I take that back Bayonetta was made by sega so the only good game EA made was Dead Space everything else that EA has was made by other people like battlefield was made by Dice and Dragon Age made by Bioware and the harry potter series {which wasn't so bad for a movie based game} made by Warner bros games.

I say Activison. They're money grabbing freaks who can't let a game be out for more than a year. Not even 6 months in they give hints about a new game. Like really? I used to like them, but with this years title of "Modern Warfare 3" I've lost all interest in buying games from their company.

I'll say Sega, mainly because their most recent games haven't been good at all. I was disappointed in Sonic Generations, and I'm not really liking most of their other new games.

I really hate Capcom right now. So first, they don't localize Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. After that, they get everyone hyped for Megaman Legends 3, and then cancel it. They don't even bother to revive it after the 100,000 strong for Megaman Legends 3 movement and even after reviving the game has been in their Capcom Unity suggestions box for the past 2 months. After that, they decide to announce Monster Hunter 3G for the 3DS, and after releasing it in Japan, basically spits on the western world with vague answers whenever somebody asks them about the game. It's sad how they can't give a straight "yes" or "no" answer to us. They are also contradicting themselves, by saying one time that it's possible, and then another time that they won't because of sales, and then saying another time that they have no plans for it, but it's possible. Capcom has seriously been making me rage for the past many months.

EA and Activision. Trash games coming out of trash interfaces with just garbage setups 24/7. You think EA is even semi-decent? Use their Customer Support. Dear god the horror stories from that are both tragic and hilarious.

Nintendo has released OoT like 3 times just because it sells. I'd call them a money grabber.

Obviously EA, their games as for now are a waste for me. Hey, I played Golf, NHL, Baseball, and NASCAR of 2004 series. It was really good but after that I lose my interest in EA and I don't seem a point of buying it. EA is just worst video game company for me.

Also Nintendo, not because it's bad, but because they didn't live up to my expectations at E3 this year.

Then what about companies that come up with games annually with basically just updated squads/new maps/new weapons. Just because it sells.

Congratulations EA. You win!
Their marketing alone ruins it for me. For anyone who didn't see, to market Dante's Inferno EA hired a bunch of actors to stand outside their headquarters and protest it saying it went against Christian ideals. Needless to say, it was pretty bad:
http://www.zootpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/210657-51.jpg

In addition to that, their "Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2" marketing campaign featured actors who were supposed to look like hardcore conservative moms that were horrified by the shock and awe in said mediocre game.

The ads were clever, but they made gamers seem like immature and childish people which is what we really need to get away from.

Worst video game company?

Activision.

They ruined the game I used to LOVE to play. They ruined the company I USED TO LOVE. Blizzard Entertainment. Yeah, I'm probably asking for a flamestorm here by saying I used to be one of those WoW players. I played ever since the game came out. Even though I was very young and just screwing around, it was still fun. Then I matured and started playing the game "seriously". Apparently, that was too late. The game suddenly had a online-store filled with stupid crap like Mounts you could buy for real money. The raids got way easier. The story got more and more ridiculous (I'm going to say that the Warcraft universe has one of the best lores of all time. If you read through it, It's like reading a long, long book.)

They took away all the fun I had in that game. Now I'm stuck with League of Legends and Starcraft 2. But It's okay... These two games are way better anyway!

OoT was released 3 times in 14 years. CoD has an edition almost every year.

Theres this recurring theme of EA, Activision and Blizzard. :3 Honestly, I don't see too much of a problem with Blizzard, but Activision and EA really make me want to cry.

Blizzard actually makes good games. eg. Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3(<--- to an extent) Those games have been popular not because of the massive advertising campaigns, but because they offer something that very few other games offer: a spotlight on the professional gaming scene.

As for EA, they've really taken a step too far, namely with Battlefield 3 and its Premium service, for example. The base game costs $60, and this Premium service will cost you another $50, which gets you all 5 of the BF3 DLCs for free. They've also royally screwed over some very good franchises, namely the Battlefield, Medal of Honor Mass Effect, Dead Space, The Sims, and countless others by forcing the developers to constantly release, instead of taking some time to think of fresh ideas. Not to mention that the customer support would be better served by a 10 year-old (no offense to anybody here, you know what I mean ;). I've also had the pleasure of being served by EA customer support. I was sad afterwards. :(

However, the worst of the prevalent three would have to be Activision. As soon as I saw MW3 announced, I facepalmed. I even bought the game on Steam for PC, and it made me want to puke. They're milking the crap out of the Call of Duty franchise, a franchise that I used to respect, but whose respect I slowly started to lose after 2010. They're customer support is nonexistant, and worse of all, they never MAINTAIN the games that they release. Take Modern Warfare 3 for example. It is as glitchy as it was during launch, and the patches have been almost nonexistant. All that Activision cares about is spitting out more DLC, and making money off of idiotic consumers who buy first and think later.

Activision cuz they're only good for call of duty, everything else they make is crap and Capcom cuz they just been sucking at making good games lately (perfect example- Steel Batallion for the kinect, that was complete crap) their only hope is to bring the Megaman series back and hope that Resident Evil 6 is as good as everyone says it is.
