EA has suddenly and permanently changed the prices for Command and Conquer (decreased prices, close to historic lows) (www.pcgamesn.com)

IDK, I usually don't bother ranking companies if they're below some level. EA requires their launcher on a lot of their games, and that alone puts them on the "terrible" list.

Nintendo at least makes good games with minimal BS, so I'm more likely to give them a pass than the others since they make mediocre games with a lot of BS to deal with.

Paid cloud saves with no portable alternative is a lot of bs

Maybe I'm weird, but I've never needed cloud saves. I play on one device, and when I'm done with the game, I don't care about my saves.

I think I've used cloud saves on Steam once, and that was to play with syncing between Steam Deck and PC. It's just not a thing I value.

Maybe it uniquely impacts you, but I'm guessing the quiet majority are more like me. Then again, I grew up in the OG console days where saves were stored on the cartridge itself.
