But I absolutely understand why so many people despise the DLC trend and feel offended when EA pushes its paid add-ons the same day it releases its core game. It's also worth noting EA has done a bang-up job doling out tons of free DLC for the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Personally, the DLC stuff doesn't bug me because, well, I most likely won't be buying it - not when there are so many other worthwhile $10 complete games to find out there (co-op hack and slash, Dungeonland, for example can be had for $10 on Steam right now).
That last point brings us to today's news: Dead Space 3 launches today, and, as if to add fuel to the Golden Poo fire, EA announced the first DS3 $10 DLC pack, Awakened, will launch in March. Many loyal and vocal fans feel mistreated, they don't like how EA has handled its biggest franchises and studios, they don't appreciate being forced to play games through Origin on PC, and they feel nickle and dimed by EA's fondness for paid DLC. While few would argue a video game publisher is actually the true embodiment of corporate evil, it's clear why EA came out on top, er, bottom. The Internet horde handed Electronic Arts the Golden Poo Award in 2012, naming it the Worst Company in America.
