You can list reasons too.
Mine opinion?

EA, forerver the worst, always been and ever will be.I take rather the worst of ubisoft then the best EA publishes.

I've been pretty dissapointed by a lot of them recently.Most notably Activision Blizzard for their shitty pricing policies.

They seem to be the only company that actually puts pay2win microtransactions into a full priced game.

A 60$ game + 40$ a season pass or addon isn't anything new but in Call of Duty you now get extra weapons via random crates that you have to pay for.
Or the great Real-Money Auction Hall in Diablo 3.
I haven't played Overwatch yet, but I don't really get why a multiplayer-only game needs to cost 60$.


EA doesn't really do anything worse than other companies these days, and Ubisoft gets a pass with their fair pricing policies (see Rainbow 6: Siege)

Also, fuck Bethesda for their shitty PC port of Fallout 4. The game had 470k people online on steam at launch, yet they thought it wasn't necessary to give a single fuck about the PC version.

Bethesda and 2K are even worse than Actiblizz for pricing, at least when it comes to regional price differences. The port for Dishonoured 2 was pretty terrible too, I don't know why they even bother if they aren't going to do a decent job. Even Capcom ports are better these days, and they used to be the literal garbage-tier of ports.

For any Bethesda/2K purchase on Steam, the AU price is still charged in US dollars but with an extra 50% added on. Ergo, a $60USD game that should cost ~$80AU when exchanged ends up being 90USD and ~120AUD! I can walk into a bricks and mortar shop here and buy a deluxe edition with a fifty centimetre statue and a steel case for that price. I only buy from UK resellers or the Humble Store/GOG so I actually get the proper price.

Blizzard, and remarkably, EA, are actually pretty good with pricing, at least when it comes to Australia. Their prices are pretty much just exchange rate + exchange fees and are actually charged in local currency.

The hate for EA made a lot of sense 10 years ago, but there are plenty of worse publishers these days. They haven't particularly improved but they haven't exactly gone down the shitter like some previously decent publishers.
