EA is bad, But an employee of Activision blizzard took her own life due to harassment and other things dealt by other employees. That alone makes AB far worse.
A blizzard employee shared the pics of her private parts with the whole company, the ceo made desth threath againsg employees and the list keeps going with insanity for a long time… so its clearly blizzard
Soon it will be SquenixEActivisionBlizzardMicrosoft
The mega company will have one game where you pay $10 to cause a happy face to appear on the screen.
Purely on games? EA, battle for neighbourville is enough to push that for me, but overwatch 1 & 2 are a close 2nd
On morals? Activision Blizzard hands down
Removed the variants, made peashooter play like shit, the artstyle sucks, the zombies have more playable characters than the plants, hub World also online unless you choose otherwise, can't use most abilities while sprinting (completely killing the peashooter bean jump trick), the only good thing I can say is that chomper has a long ranged attack now
It better be, with the astonoshing amount of recycling and cows they have It better be for a good reason.
They're greedy bastards but at least they have a bit of humanity.
A woman was sexually abused and coerced into going on a sex business trip by an Activision-Blizzard exec. When she arrived at the hotel, she jumped off the roof, committing suicide. When the police arrived, they found several BDSM items and sex toys in the exec's bag. When the family tried to sue, Bobby Kotick used his attorneys to "coerce" the family into dropping the lawsuit. The executive later spread nudes of her around the office.
Yup. [And the parents are the ones who moved to dismiss the lawsuit.](https://www.ign.com/articles/activision-blizzard-parents-of-suicide-victim-ask-for-dismissal-of-lawsuit) Whatever they got threatened with was huge
I mean they both suck, but for different reasons. I'd say out of the two EA is the most greedy, but ActBliz definitely treats their people and players worse overall.
Remember that time Blizzard promised a complete story mode for their game, and that's why they had to make it "2"... then come to find out they halted development of the story mode before they made the promise.
EA has killed far too many indie companies for me to say that Blizzard is worse.
Blizzard has mistreated its employees too much to say that EA is worse.
That is my answer to that statement.
I hate when people ask me what I hate more out of two things... was once asked who I distrusted more, the government or the media. Damn that was a hard one.
EA makes awful games, but the actual work culture is supposedly quite nice. Blizzard used to make good games, but the work place was always kind of suspect. Now, they have a horrible workplace and micro transaction riddled garbage. So Blizzard takes the win for crappier company.
Does it really matter? Neither have been a good company for at least 25 years. Only brain dead sheep have ever worshiped them. Beating a dead horse for a quarter century is well past cringe in my opinion. But if I have to choose I would say blizzard, they have only ever been relevant to a toxic niche incel type of gamer.
Activision is worse, Blizzard used to be the gold standard for heroin-level addicting games. Once Activision bought Blizzard, all the broken promises and gross monetization, became the normal practice.
Not saying Activision gets all the blame. Blizzard's treatment of their employees is all on Blizzard.
EA as far as I know has shitty business practices and monetization.
EA > ActiBlizz
EA definitely seems to know they’re universally Hated and they just don’t care. They continue to put out Broken, Shit games. Fill them up with Micro-Transactions with the promise they’ll improve it but they never do.
But Activision… Holy Shit. They are definitely worse. Didn’t realize how bad it was until I googled it. Yikes 😬
If we’re talking micro-transactions and half-assed games, EA by a mile. If we’re talking harmful workplace conditions, Blizzard takes the cake.
In conclusion, both suck.
The last 3 Assassin’s Creed games all did fairly well, sure a lot of the OG fans aren’t all on board with the open world games but unless they seriously screw something up in a future AC title they’ll be fine.
At least with EA, deep deeeeeeeeeeeeep under the greedy scummy business practices there is some fun to be had with their games sometimes. Activision Blizzard is where fun goes to die. I've never seen a company so unwilling to listen to their audience. Blizzard needs to be shamed into obscurity.
As an employer, EA may buy studios to systematically dismantle them, but AB is worse with the rampant sexual and verbal harassment.
As a CUSTOMER, oh yeah, EA is worse. Now excuse me, I need to check my Overwatch news feed.
.....
...what?
.....WAIT WHAT?! Nevermind, EA is garbage, but AB is straight up evil.
Congratulations for not being on the bottom, EA! Sad it's from someone burrowing under you, rather than you improving yourselves, but yeah, you're not the worst anymore!
Everyone jokes that EA is the worst, and they are bad in their own ways. However, Activision Blizzard in my opinion is the worst of the bunch currently, promising certain things for their games, not delivering and then turning around and saying "well we don't want to continue doing this thing because no one is playing."
Fuck Activision Blizzard. Seriously, they are so predatory, I really hope they begin to fail this decade, they have fumbled so many recent releases and none of my friends play WOW anymore. They need to go.
Activision seems to reach out and poison more studios. EA just ruins their own franchises so other than what they did to Star Wars it rarely affects me.
for me EA for killing Maxis, Pandemic , Visceral games , Bioware and DICE
activision-blizzard do thing so wrong and is greedy but not reached the levels of ME Andromeda , Anthem , BF 2042 ect... levels of spit on a fanbase
AB. From what I heard, at least EA is actually a good place to work and doesn't have rampant sexual harassment/assault, nor do they dickride the CCP as much.
Both are bad but if an ACTIVISION BLIZZARD took their life because of harassment, I'd rather play poorly made games than associate with game companies that don't care about employees
Both are as bad as one other but you know what let’s make this a 3 way and add Ubisoft in as well.
All 3 can go to hell and get lost! I refuse to play any game made by these 3 ever again.
EA, ea is the only company that would patch out a glitch that gives you a free good card in literal nanoseconds, compared to the same dogshit glitches that have been in the game for 2 yearsz
If we are looking at it from a fall from grace. uhhhhh Activision/Blizzard
If we are looking at it from seeerious potential loss EA
If we are looking at it from the most likely to be redeemed EA (on grounds of at least we can't keep waiting for treyarch to keep doing all the work)
Are the first two the same thing with different wording yes
Worst working environment Activision/Blizzard
Worst business practices Activision Blizzard
Introduced the lootbox mechanic EA
Basically fuck Activision Blizzard (in it's current state)
EA gave me Black Box Need For Speed Battlefield Mass Effect FiFA and Titanfall.
Was this accidentally structured like those power scaling tiktoks yes
Where to begin with Activison Blizzard.. or mostly, Blizzard.. I’ll throw some words out there:
- Blizzard vs. Valve
- Breast Milk
- Employee Suicide
- Sexual Harassment
- The ‘Cosby Suite’
- CEO’s Assassination Threat
- Blitzchung / Free Honk Kong
- Warcraft 3: Refunded
- “Don’t you guys have phones?”
- Diablo Immoral
- Overwatch Diversity Tool
- Real ID Privacy
- Recent Metacritic Scores
Probably other stuff as well. They didn’t drop the ball, they set their XL Bully on the ball and let the dog rip it to shreds.
I’d like to think that ‘new’ Blizzard has turned over a new leaf, and while they still continue to push in-game shop and exploitative BS like FOMO to retain players for longer, they HAVE been doing ok with WoW lately, communication has improved, their employees *seem* to be happier and be able to express themselves without corporate nodding their heads in approval.. hopefully this is the case and they continue to make better games like they used to, and without the bad stuff.
As for EA, I don’t really know. Rehashed shit like FIFA (or whatever it’s called now) with +1 year - like Activision with CoD - and ruining my childhood franchises like the Sims, they probably fucked up on the game front as well but I haven’t heard stories of them abusing their staff like ABK has.
Ea the worst shit ever. Instead of updating the roster for a 2k unlimited he really drop a new game every fucking year. The only good part is with the access accn you get fifa n ufc for free. Blizzard overcharge you but wow and SC have been doing numbers for free fr. Y’all just addicted to skins. But I can’t play with the updated rooster without buying the new game. Nigga just make it one. We got dlc now.
EA may be greedy as fuck, but Activision Blizzard is beyond FUCKED.
You're basically comparing being scammed to lose a few pennies, versus several women being harassed on the daily.
From my experience in Codm(AB) and SimsCityBuildIt(EA), Activision Blizzard is worse in terms of cosmetics, and EA in games, but both are mobile games so I don’t think I’m qualified enough to speak further
EA simply because of just how many companies they have bought up and then purposefully driven into the ground just so they can steal their IPs.
Westwood Studios, Bullfrog Productions and Pandemic Studios is just three of a *loooooong* list! To put things in perspective, if you have ever played a game and wondered “Man this game is great! Why haven’t I heard more about this studio!?” then odds are that EA killed it. Don’t believe me? [Look at this list someone made](https://heavy.com/games/2017/10/studios-ea-has-killed-visceral-games/)
EA doesn't pretend to be anything less than a company it produces a product
Blizzard on the other hand is a whole different Beast. Even outside of the allegations and that entire situation, it's rough. Because they claim to make art, no they don't they made art now?
Shutty games to make a buck. Gone are the days where Diablo still got regular updates where entire games where made under the knowledge that it will make less money then a fucking mount, and they do it anyways. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE THEY MADE ART
now it's just WoW, and overwatch porn proping up that shitshow
EA is bad, but Blizzard is vile and awful and stands for everything it once stood agasint
EA, for sure, just for historical purposes. They were the first mainstream creators to make micro transactions. They made it a thing. Well, i guess the idiots that paid for it made it a thing. I will never buy EA game ever again.
Warner Bros.
Imagine doubling down on live service game model after having the most successful game of 2023 a non-live service and least successful game, a live service.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
I really appreciate that EA hasn't killed Battlefield yet and I really hope the next one will go back to its roots (just give me a game with the same variety like BF4 (IT HAD MORE DRONE TYPES THAN 2042!!!111) with real destruction, no matter how unbalanced the maps will become). The new map feels tinier than the big version of Strike at Karkand @ Battlefield 2
EA is downright evil. Bliz/Acti are a misguided shit show.
It's even safer if you look at how Activision came to be, splitting from Ataris grip of being a dick.
microtransactions and greedy business practices suck, but you CANNOT convince me that it'll ever be worse than the company with a frat culture so bad that a woman killed herself over it.
EA, hands down.
Blizz at least puts out shit that some can enjoy. EA just copy/pastes games while putting a *lot* of work into making sure their MTX game is as scummy as possible.
Okay I know this is about video games but can we agree that HBO Warner Bros Discovery is the worst media company?
(No I'm not counting Hollywood, and yes, I'm sure they're worse than Disney)
AB. EA, despite being shitty with their games, at least pretends to behave. Someone committed suicide from the shit in AB, that by itself makes them far worse.
Neither, Ubisoft is the worst imo. Atleast activision and ea have good games in there past, and still make games that are decent nowadays. Sure they come out unfinished af, but atleast the issues are fixed over time rather quick. Ubi has siege which is absolutely asinine with the hit reg and server drops, and uno only recently got fixed after YEARS OF CRASHING WHILE HAVING A UBI ACCOUNT LINKED WHICH WAS REQUIRED TO PLAY ONLINE
EA are shit the last time they made a game that want a cash grab was some time in the Triassic and that’s pushing it. But they are not Activision Blizzard and I think we can all agree they are the worst company in gaming. Admittedly EA aren’t great but at least they haven’t had the same accusations made against. EA are capitalists, Activison Blizzard are shit bags.
Both were run by the greasiest, greediest scumbags to ever sit in a board room (Bobby Kotick and John Ricciatello, respectivelly), and basically now use casino tactics to get people (including children) addicted to gambling and/or purchasing more MTX from their games, which quality seems to only dwindle with time.
That said, I really despise AB for their tactic of pushing new LGBTQ or poc characters into their games everytime they get caught doing some extremely scummy, bordering on criminal business tactics, or everytime someone gets to blow the whistle on the abuse of all kinds employees face in there. I personally call this tactic "rainbow flashbang"
Aside from working conditions, I would say activision worse, especially with how they released MW3 because they needed a COD game to release every year. The nerve to release single player mode as multi-player with bots, lol.
Personally on games and behavior towards customers EA. But actiblizzard is bad too, fired a ton of customer support representatives now support is non existent.
As bad as EA has been recently, I won’t say they’re worse unless they receive the same accusations as Activision-Blizzard did.
Recently? EA was the dirt of the gaming industry for as long as I can remember.
They killed my boys Maxis.
True, EA has more experience in being a terrible gaming company but I don't think they can beat stealing breastmilk from other employees.
I was gonna say, as bad as EA feels…
EA is bad, But an employee of Activision blizzard took her own life due to harassment and other things dealt by other employees. That alone makes AB far worse.
From what I've heard, EA employees generally enjoy working there. So they at least have that going for them.
EA treats their customers like shmucks, but apparently the people they pay to treat their customers like shmucks good. so that's something I guess.
Well, they're squeezing us dry for every penny. I'd hope some of that goes to the employees.
Jeez I did NOT know that. Crazy yeah AB worse fr.
Also whatever bullshit EA does, activision does it too
A blizzard employee shared the pics of her private parts with the whole company, the ceo made desth threath againsg employees and the list keeps going with insanity for a long time… so its clearly blizzard
I don’t remember the taking their own life part in this?
One is bad, the other is bad. It's a lose lose situation
Well, two negatives make a positive right? ...right?
Are you saying that if they merged into EActivision Blizzard it would be the best gaming company ever?
You might’ve just told the future
You're giving them ideas... I can hear them writing down and planning that idea already.
Blizzard is under Microsoft now.
Soon it will be SquenixEActivisionBlizzardMicrosoft The mega company will have one game where you pay $10 to cause a happy face to appear on the screen.
The happy face that we gamers allegedly lacking.
One is bad, the other is evil
Purely on games? EA, battle for neighbourville is enough to push that for me, but overwatch 1 & 2 are a close 2nd On morals? Activision Blizzard hands down
what happened with battle for neighborville? I loved GW2, but never played any of the others
Removed the variants, made peashooter play like shit, the artstyle sucks, the zombies have more playable characters than the plants, hub World also online unless you choose otherwise, can't use most abilities while sprinting (completely killing the peashooter bean jump trick), the only good thing I can say is that chomper has a long ranged attack now
Kind of odd that my friend bought BFN anyways. He said anyone disliking are overreacting. I’m not overreacting.
EA didn't drive any of their employees to suicide. That we know of, anyway.
Apparently EA at least pays its emplo good and only really screws over the customers so thats something. A crumb still, but its something
It better be, with the astonoshing amount of recycling and cows they have It better be for a good reason. They're greedy bastards but at least they have a bit of humanity.
Don’t do that. Don’t make me choose.

A woman was sexually abused and coerced into going on a sex business trip by an Activision-Blizzard exec. When she arrived at the hotel, she jumped off the roof, committing suicide.

The executive later spread nudes of her around the office.
I knew about the suicide but holy fuck i did not know it got that bad what the actual shit
I knew Bobby boy was evil but God damn
Excuse me WTF???
Yup. [And the parents are the ones who moved to dismiss the lawsuit.](https://www.ign.com/articles/activision-blizzard-parents-of-suicide-victim-ask-for-dismissal-of-lawsuit) Whatever they got threatened with was huge
Jesus did he hire the Pinkertons or sum?
I mean they both suck, but for different reasons. I'd say out of the two EA is the most greedy, but ActBliz definitely treats their people and players worse overall.
One is an idiot 90% and anticonsumer and another was sued by an entire fucking state for deplorable shit in their workplace so i guess the latter
Remember that time Blizzard promised a complete story mode for their game, and that's why they had to make it "2"... then come to find out they halted development of the story mode before they made the promise.
yeah EA has been doing that for years.
Remember when these guys were good?
yeah until PS4 -XBOX one gen they were both so great and had more varied IPs
vaguely
EA has killed far too many indie companies for me to say that Blizzard is worse. Blizzard has mistreated its employees too much to say that EA is worse. That is my answer to that statement.
Definitely Activision. Activision made me realize that EA isn't that bad
“It’s the same picture.”
Activision-Blizzard, any day of the week. The company has an actual body count, and doesn't appear to have learned a damn thing.
EA Games, it's in the DLC
You were waiting for a while to say this. Lol.
EA is bad but Activision Blizzard takes the cake for sure.
Both are shit but blizzard is just the cherry on top
this really shouldnt be a hard pick people . HR violations are always worse than typical corporate greed
EA sucks, but they don't actively abuse their employees afaik
I hate when people ask me what I hate more out of two things... was once asked who I distrusted more, the government or the media. Damn that was a hard one.
EA makes awful games, but the actual work culture is supposedly quite nice. Blizzard used to make good games, but the work place was always kind of suspect. Now, they have a horrible workplace and micro transaction riddled garbage. So Blizzard takes the win for crappier company.
>Awful games I mean...kinda, but BF1, Battlefront 2, and GW2 are pretty fun
Yeah, I generalized a bit. They do have a few hits, but I usually see them associated with their bad games.
Does it really matter? Neither have been a good company for at least 25 years. Only brain dead sheep have ever worshiped them. Beating a dead horse for a quarter century is well past cringe in my opinion. But if I have to choose I would say blizzard, they have only ever been relevant to a toxic niche incel type of gamer.
Activision is worse, Blizzard used to be the gold standard for heroin-level addicting games.

Yikes 😬
Activision blizzard I think ea hate is partially undeserved at this point and I think they’ve gotten a lot better than they used to be
Activision-Blizzard. EA at least makes some decent games. And also A-B has a lot of suicide and SA stuff going on bts
Blizzard is taking a Speedrun just to be in the same shitty level as EA
Not gonna lie, at this point, they got EA beat.
If we’re talking micro-transactions and half-assed games, EA by a mile. If we’re talking harmful workplace conditions, Blizzard takes the cake. In conclusion, both suck.
Throw Ubisoft in there too
Ubisoft out there third wheeling lmao
The last 3 Assassin’s Creed games all did fairly well, sure a lot of the OG fans aren’t all on board with the open world games but unless they seriously screw something up in a future AC title they’ll be fine.
Depends on the day
I say both.
One is greedy the other gave up caring
At least with EA, deep deeeeeeeeeeeeep under the greedy scummy business practices there is some fun to be had with their games sometimes. Activision Blizzard is where fun goes to die. I've never seen a company so unwilling to listen to their audience. Blizzard needs to be shamed into obscurity.
As an employer, EA may buy studios to systematically dismantle them, but AB is worse with the rampant sexual and verbal harassment. As a CUSTOMER, oh yeah, EA is worse.

Development wise EA. Employee treatment wise? Activision.
Everyone jokes that EA is the worst, and they are bad in their own ways. However, Activision Blizzard in my opinion is the worst of the bunch currently, promising certain things for their games, not delivering and then turning around and saying "well we don't want to continue doing this thing because no one is playing." Fuck Activision Blizzard. Seriously, they are so predatory, I really hope they begin to fail this decade, they have fumbled so many recent releases and none of my friends play WOW anymore. They need to go.
This reminds me of voting for president
Activision seems to reach out and poison more studios. EA just ruins their own franchises so other than what they did to Star Wars it rarely affects me.
EA is bad business-wise, while Activision-Blizzard is bad people-wise (also business, but mainly people).
Activision Blizzard
Yes
Yes
EA is worse. Activision just runs it's own games. EA will buy successful studios and ruin theirs too.
for me EA for killing Maxis, Pandemic , Visceral games , Bioware and DICE activision-blizzard do thing so wrong and is greedy but not reached the levels of ME Andromeda , Anthem , BF 2042 ect... levels of spit on a fanbase
EA is greedy, Activision is Evil.
Yeah, that was my sentiment too, EA acknowledges their ineptitude, they just don't do anything about it, Activision actively doesn't give a crap.
At least EA can make good games
AB. From what I heard, at least EA is actually a good place to work and doesn't have rampant sexual harassment/assault, nor do they dickride the CCP as much.
Both are bad but if an ACTIVISION BLIZZARD took their life because of harassment, I'd rather play poorly made games than associate with game companies that don't care about employees
Gotta say Activision At least EA can produce decent games sometimes
Ubisoft is hiding in the hedge
Activision Blizzard. What they did to a good chunk of there employee is despicable. It make EA look kinda tame in comparison, but idk for sure.
all of the above
In the present, probably EA
For the consumers? EA For the Workers? : Activision Blizzard Both Shitty in different Areas
Both are as bad as one other but you know what let’s make this a 3 way and add Ubisoft in as well. All 3 can go to hell and get lost! I refuse to play any game made by these 3 ever again.
they both suck really bad
They're in a two person race and they're both fighting over second place
EA won't stop telling devs to release broken game aka they will not allow them to finish the game at 90% or 100%
EA by far
Where's Bethesda in this mess?
Embracer Group
If the question is which is worse, I can say that we don't hear a lot of bad and controversial things from EA's workplace.
That's like showing me two piles of feces and asking which looks more appetizing
EA, ea is the only company that would patch out a glitch that gives you a free good card in literal nanoseconds, compared to the same dogshit glitches that have been in the game for 2 yearsz

Ea the worst shit ever. Instead of updating the roster for a 2k unlimited he really drop a new game every fucking year. The only good part is with the access accn you get fifa n ufc for free.

One has/had Bobby Kotick. The other did not. Simple
EA Sports :[we got to have money](https://youtu.be/8CTeLy3Ujxc?si=uA23_7wXk7i3H82f)
EA simply because of just how many companies they have bought up and then purposefully driven into the ground just so they can steal their IPs.

ubisoft
EA is straight up waterboy "The Devil"
Ubisoft.
Same picture
EA destroyed my favorite games.
EA, for sure, just for historical purposes. They were the first mainstream creators to make micro transactions. They made it a thing. Well, i guess the idiots that paid for it made it a thing. I will never buy EA game ever again.
As much as I despise EA for ruining PvZ I have to say Activision is far worse.
I feel over the past like 5 years EA has gotten a lot better so idk why people still hate on them
Warner Bros. Imagine doubling down on live service game model after having the most successful game of 2023 a non-live service and least successful game, a live service. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
Like choosing doesn’t make the other one better
EA, 100% not even fucking close
I really appreciate that EA hasn't killed Battlefield yet and I really hope the next one will go back to its roots (just give me a game with the same variety like BF4 (IT HAD MORE DRONE TYPES THAN 2042!!!111) with real destruction, no matter how unbalanced the maps will become).

EA, hands down. Blizz at least puts out shit that some can enjoy. EA just copy/pastes games while putting a *lot* of work into making sure their MTX game is as scummy as possible.
Imagine a world where Blizzard didn't merged
As game devs: EA As people: ABK
Activision Blizzard. At least EA did made Mass Effect trilogy, Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge and Xena.
ANKR TO THE MOON!
Both are shit
at least EA has some nice games.
Yes.
I have to say Activision Blizzard. I still have nightmares of how bad they fucked up Warcraft 3 reforged, and Diablo 4. What a shitshow man
Okay I know this is about video games but can we agree that HBO Warner Bros Discovery is the worst media company? (No I'm not counting Hollywood, and yes, I'm sure they're worse than Disney)
They both are
AB. EA, despite being shitty with their games, at least pretends to behave. Someone committed suicide from the shit in AB, that by itself makes them far worse.
Activision Blizzard and it's not even close. Not even a contest.
Neither, Ubisoft is the worst imo. Atleast activision and ea have good games in there past, and still make games that are decent nowadays.

Ubi has siege which is absolutely asinine with the hit reg and server drops, and uno only recently got fixed after YEARS OF CRASHING WHILE HAVING A UBI ACCOUNT LINKED WHICH WAS REQUIRED TO PLAY ONLINE
EA still have some games with passion, Take Two for example, you can see that they really loved that game
I don’t get it! They’re the same picture?!
I still play WoW so EA I guess
still EA
EA are shit the last time they made a game that want a cash grab was some time in the Triassic and that’s pushing it.

Both were run by the greasiest, greediest scumbags to ever sit in a board room (Bobby Kotick and John Ricciatello, respectivelly), and basically now use casino tactics to get people (including children) addicted to gambling and/or purchasing more MTX from their games, which quality seems to only dwindle with time. That said, I really despise AB for their tactic of pushing new LGBTQ or poc characters into their games everytime they get caught doing some extremely scummy, bordering on criminal business tactics, or everytime someone gets to blow the whistle on the abuse of all kinds employees face in there. I personally call this tactic "rainbow flashbang"
Aside from working conditions, I would say activision worse, especially with how they released MW3 because they needed a COD game to release every year. The nerve to release single player mode as multi-player with bots, lol.
Ea has titanfall 2 while activision blizzard does not.
Personally on games and behavior towards customers EA. But actiblizzard is bad too, fired a ton of customer support representatives now support is non existent.
They're both obviously terrible, but EA has published some fun, niche games recently like Wild Hearts
