beerdragoon writes "Electronic Arts CEO Peter Moore has responded to the company's appearance in the finals of the Consumerist's Worst Company In America poll. Moore accepts some responsibility for some of EA's past failings: 'I’ll be the first to admit that we’ve made plenty of mistakes. These include server shut downs too early, games that didn’t meet expectations, missteps on new pricing models and most recently, severely fumbling the launch of SimCity. We owe gamers better performance than this.' However, he ignores or contests many of the common complaints about the company — issues that earned it a spot in the finals for the second year in a row. Quoting: 'Many continue to claim the Always-On function in SimCity is a DRM scheme. It’s not. People still want to argue about it. We can’t be any clearer – it’s not. Period. ... Some people think that free-to-play games and micro-transactions are a pox on gaming. Tens of millions more are playing and loving those games." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=EA+Responds+To+Its+Appearance+In+the+' Worst+Company+In+America'+Poll%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit .ly%2F10DB9AO) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F04%2F05%2F2131219%2Fea-responds-to-its-appearance-in-the-worst-company-in-america-poll%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/04/05/2131219/ea-responds-to-its-appearance-in-the-worst-company-in-america-poll?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
