<p>Electronic Arts won The Consumerist’s reader-voted “<a href="http://consumerist.com/2012/04/congratulations-ea-you-are-the-worst-company-in-america-for-2012.html">Worst Company in America</a>” contest. They did not take the victory sitting down. EA Senior Director of Corporate Communications, John Reseburg, released a statement:</p>
<p>“We’re sure British Petroleum, AIG, Philip Morris, and Halliburton are all relieved they weren’t nominated this year. We’re going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide.”</p>
<p>Reseburg also stated that the Human Rights Campaign is supporting the publisher’s “decision to have developers<a href="https://bagogames.com/ea-strickes-antigay-letter-campaign/"> include same-sex relationships</a> in recent games including <em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em> and <em>Mass Effect 3.”</em> The fact that EA-owned BioWare is in the finals for the “Best Developer” contest that The Escapist is running was also brought up.</p>
