IGN新聞報導:EA CEO Peter Moore在blog上發表we can do better [我們可以做得更好]來對被選為美國最爛公司做出回應
“Are we really the ‘Worst Company in America?’” Moore asked. “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.”
我們真的是美國最爛公司嗎? 我必須承認我們的確犯了很多錯誤，像是伺服器太早關閉、遊戲未達到預期、遊戲定價沒訂好、尤其是最近[模擬市民]嚴重笨拙的失誤，我們的遊戲應該有更好的表現。
Peter Moore還對許多抱怨做出回應:"some of these complaints are 100 percent legitimate" but that "others just don’t hold water."
許多抱怨看似 100%合理，但其他根本站不住腳。
● 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
許多人批評[模擬城市5]必須一直上線是個DRM(數位內容權力管理)陰謀，但並不是，但大家就一直要爭論，我們再此澄清，並不是，就到此為止。
● Some claim there’s no room for Origin as a competitor to Steam. 45 million registered users are proving that wrong.”
許多人說 Origin不可能跟 Steam搶市場， 4.5千萬的Origin用戶證明了這是錯誤的。
●”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.”
許多人認為免費遊戲和微薄的交易量是遊戲界的毒瘤，好幾百萬的人卻在玩並且喜愛這些遊戲。
●We’ve seen mailing lists that direct people to vote for EA because they disagree with the choice of the cover athlete on Madden NFL. Yes, really…
我們見過由郵件列出投給EA的原因只因為他們不喜歡勁爆美式足球上封面的運動員，這根本...
● ”In the past year, we have received thousands of emails and postcards protesting against EA for allowing players to create LGBT characters in our games. This week, we’re seeing posts on conservative web sites urging people to protest our LGBT policy by voting EA the Worst Company in America.”
在過去幾年，我們收到了上千封e-mail和明信片抗議EA准許在遊戲中創造同性戀角色，這個禮拜，我們看到一些保守網站的貼文慫恿大眾在美國最爛公司投票投給EA，來反對我們的同性戀政策。
“That last one is particularly telling. If that’s what makes us the worst company, bring it on. Because we're not caving on that,
最後一項很清楚的表明，如果就因為這樣我們是美國最爛公司，那就放馬過來吧，因為我們不會屈服的。
We can do better. We will do better. But I am damn proud of this company, the people around the globe who work at EA, the games we create and the people that play them. The tallest trees catch the most wind. At EA we remain proud and unbowed.”
我們可以做得更好，我們會做得更好，這家公司讓我引以為傲，在世界各地為ＥＡ工作的人們，我們創造遊戲而大家也在玩，最高的樹承受的風也最大，在EA我們是不會屈服又驕傲的。
EA又連莊了，不過下面這則報導上的留言，網友對EA的看法都不領情，EA的死對頭
