Current Events > Which of the big game publishers is the most scummy IYO?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Imo 2K.

Ea are fucking awful with monetization too, but 2K are cartoonishly evil.

2k easily, with ea just behind them

Yep

Capcom was pretty bad at one time.

But I actually want to go with a write-in: WB Games.

EA, but most have reached a threshold where it just isn't worth measuring anymore.

Holy shit, just find a new hobby if youre so obsessed about consumer respect.

Just because I'm not a fan of AAA garbage does not mean I'm not a fan of gaming.

You don't need to be obsessed about anything to notice blatant anti-consumer trends overtaking this market.

EA I guess, just the way they lied about microtransactions and shit was so uncomfortable.

Am I missing something? Why is SEGA on the list?

EA but Ubisoft is a real close second.

No really I wanna know. I think they fell into a pit for a while making a lot of "same-y" games but they've pulled out of that. Plus I like what they did to Epic - they don't have any exclusive games because you can just buy it through Uplay.
---

definitely EA
---

All the companies under the TakeTwo Umbrella so 2k, Rockstar etc.

definitely 2k(or take two).

at least studios like EA are churning out games while TT is sitting on a shitload of money by way of rockstar which doesn't seem like it goes back into gaming.

Ubisoft actually makes decent games compared to EA, and 2k is nothing without rickstar

that's just because you like boring games like Skyrim

Either 2k or EA (personally I voted EA).
---

EA is the worst overall, but Activision is the worst at ruining a franchise that I like.

I despise skyrim and it's part of why bethesda is bad imo

EA, although it's never sent goons to someone's house to threaten them like 2K.

Yeah but *why*? You keep repeating that, I just want to know why you think that.

Tossup between 2k and EA.

2k Is letting you buy in-game currency with real world money, so you can gamble in game. But if you win, you can never get paid in real world currency.

EA is also up there, I recently saw some footage on Yong Yea I believe where a high up of EA was gloating over using micro transactions and shit. They try to push it in every game they can.

On that note, Activision also deserves a mention. They re-released Modern Warfare and implemented micro transactions were the original game didn't have them. Oh, and you could (during the first few months after launch) only get the game by buying a Infinite Warfare/Modern Warfare bundle.

EA and 2K are the dueling shit bag kings, they are always competing to see who can be worse, EA is more known though for the shit they do.

MWRs most egregious thing is making you pay for DLC that was paid DLC in the original game.

Isnt a remaster supposed to include EVERYTHING the original game had?

I didn't even know that, that's kind of fucking disgusting.

EA is more high profile but 2K is definitely worse at this point in time

Bethesda, EA, 2k, and Activision are pretty close to equally scummy for me, but I gotta go with one other write in.

Epic Games.

let's not forget that the remastered dlc was also more expensive than in the original game

Creative Assembly are the biggest hype slangers and liars in the world of gaming.

Bethesda if you have to choose based on one single game over all others

EA for the library

I've never had a chance to play on Creek and apparently I never will. Fuckin' Activision.

I've seen people make the comparison of:

EA: vader
2K: Palpatine
