    If EA gets its hands on CD Projekt Red, the company is finished.

    Oh here we go get ready for the Evil, horrible, destroyer if the universe EA crowed to show up.  

    Really nice of you to single out EA without any evidence...guess you just wanted a few extra clicks...at least you know the audience this site has.

    EA was the company suggested by the site keengamer.com in the second link. Not me. ;)
    I understand that but they don't have any evidence either.  They only used EA for click bait.

       I dont see that as the minority as EA is the Biggest Publisher in the World and sells the Most Units in the world ...Millions upon Millions upon Millions of units sold each year , millions upon millions of happy customers , And they still have the Best stable of games(subjective .. but sales ) in the Market ...

    Seeing the hostile takeover attempt from Vivendi for Ubisoft that would make a good candidate too.

    The ability to earn money does not make a company great.  VW, Enron, Tyco, Worldsouth, Freddie Mac, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Styam, Wells Fargo.  Those pesky facts.

    And a survey a bunch of neck beards spammed doesn't make a company bad. It does clearly show YOU ARE THE VAST MINORITY when it comes to EA..pesky facts I know.

    Even EA recognized the fact that over 250,000 people voted them a worse company than even Bank of America. It served as a wake up call for the company....

    Winning the worst company award served as a wake-up call for EA, helping to convince executives they needed to change the way they thought of their customers. That rethinking has paid off. Over the past year, EA's sales, which declined in the year leading up to Probst's April meeting, have swung back to growth. Profit has skyrocketed to $875 million from $8 million in 2014, and the company's stock price has soared.

    All with little change in research and development investment and no dramatic layoffs.

    Every company at some point faces a crisis of confidence. At EA, this challenge manifested itself in a peculiar way: customers were buying its games, but an increasing number of them also disliked the company. A lot.

    So, EA set about changing its culture, from the way employees worked with one another to the way they talked to customers.

    "We needed to look at systemic problems," said Patrick Söderlund, who heads up some of EA's biggest games. "We needed to understand this is how people perceive us -- right or wrong, it was as simple as that."

    Exactly that was from 2013 we are almost in 2017 see they are no longer the worst company.  And 250,000 is a minority when MILLION AND MILLIONS buy their games.  Those darn pesky numbers.

    I hope CD Projekt Red stays indipendent...
    Their honesty just doesn't mix with EAs greed.

    *edit*

    Saying that cause CD even mocked EA at some point.
    EA released Mass Effect 3 with a ton of first day dlc and stated:
    "We did surveys and this is what the players want."

    CD then announced Witcher 3 (or was it even 2 back  then?) with several day one dlcs:
    "We were told this is what players want so we will give you several dlcs - for free!"

    I am an EA fan personally. I am a huge fan of the Bioware games and love their sport games. Titanfall 2 is amazing!
    What I do not want to see is GOG.com taken over by a huge corporation regardless of which one it is.
    I agree with this I just think the article you posted only said EA because of the people who already posted here trying to bash EA.  They were part of the crusade in 2013 to vote ea worst company thinking somehow it will destroy them...in fact it only made them better as your other post showed.

    I'm not allowed to reply when someone who clearly doesn't have a clue comes out and says I'm in the minority (not referring to the OP).  I'm not being defensive just pointed out MILLIONS > 250,000.  This is also a forum I don't need to explain or validate why, when or how I post to anyone...

    CD Projekt Red is the most transparent development team to date. When sane people are surrounded by pure corruption and some of them are the only choices to publish their games, they are bound to suffer.

    I wish CDPR the best. Whoever does a hostile takeover to them will never see a penny from my wallet, ever again.

    And if its EA, i can only see Witcher and Cyberpunk getting full on microtransactions... disgusting.

    Evidence is used to prove speculation, no one is trying to prove anything.

    If you were to apply logic to speculation, then the game company most likely to buy another game company and dismantle it would be EA - without a doubt. It's what they do.
    I'd put my money on Vivendi over EA to be the company you are referring to
