I hate all corps but on this occasion I'm going to single out Nintendo for everything they've done since forcing Yuzu to shut down. Scummy bastards of the highest order.

Walmart. I'm from a rural area and they wiped out all of the small businesses and contributed to a lot of economic hardship for the people. (Not that they were in a great position before, mind you.) I believe this continued economic hardship scared some people into leaning more conservative. The conservatives always gave them false hope. And thus the cycle continues...
Any American mainstream social media I strongly dislike as well. Meta, Twitter, and Reddit are all contributors to disinformation and pushing a more right-wing agenda to people.
Same with Bunnings in Australia
Nestle. Their future is the dystopian part of evil that we see in movies.
Water barons...
Comcast/Xfinity. Installed home security equipment I told them wouldn't work, then once it turned out it didn't, they charged me $1000+ for the equipment that they took back, but somehow misplaced. Two years of calls later, they finally ground me down. It's the one company I refuse to call for my elderly mother when she has trouble with them.
BofA is a close second. Emptied out my little kid's saving account with fees (even though they said it was a free account when we opened it, so we didn't bother checking the statements). Hit us up for multiple overdraft fees, then offered to return only three months' worth of just the fees.
They can all burn in hell.
Credit Unions are the way to go unless you're looking for high-yield and brokerage accounts. Sorry that happened.
I hate Comcast/Xfinity with such a passion I tell myself if I had the same hatred for a person I'd be in jail for murder.
Not only did they impose their "trial data caps" in my area and charge me out the ass for going over 2TB a month, I acceded once to being upsold and was told it was completely reversible within a month. After realizing the sales shithead lied to me about the features, I called to revert. Guess what? They couldn't. It wasn't something they could do. Fortunately I recorded all my calls, but even with that it took me more than 30 hours of phone and chat time to get it fixed, and the agent who finally helped me had to setup a recurring account credit to fix it. Absolutely horrid. She basically clarified, without saying it outright, that the sales shithead lied to my face because they're practically encouraged to.
Long story short my home purchase decision was influenced greatly by those shitheads not being in the area, and just seeing an ad makes me want to vandalize it. It's the only thing I hate with this much passion.
I have to go by length of time I have hated the company and so the award goes to Electronic Arts. Or Evil Assholes, as I have called them since the 90's. They have destroyed so much of what I loved. 😭
I remember reading with dread any time EA acquired one of my favourite studios.
RIP
- Westwood
- Bullfrog
- Maxis
- Codemasters
- Bioware
RIP NFL 2K. I never forgot you and I'll never forgive.
For me it ubisoft. They've made some of my favorite series, then completely ruined them.
One day my rocksmith 2014 isn't going to work because they shut down the servers, and the over a thousand dollars I've spent on guitars, songs, cables, and pedals are going to be, well, not useless, but pretty close to it.
Most hated? PostNL.
Those fuckers just drop your packages wherever the fuck they want.
I've had to contact neighbors and search for my packages on the street.

I despise Meta, and always have, but the company I hate most is... ...the entire health insurance industry. UnitedHealth is the worst, but there isn't one among them that isn't ruining lives and killing people on a surprisingly large scale every single day.
Singapore Air. The canceled our international return tickets, so were left stranded in Greece. They didn't tell us. They fucked it up so hard, and then they also weasled out of the compensation they're legally required to give us. They owe us over $5000 and they offered us $40. Unbeleiveble cunts. I actually hate the whole country now.
Meta crApple twitter Micro$oft McDonald$ Proctor & Gamble All christian owned companies (fuck you hobby lobby)
About fucking ready to wipe Budget rental car off the face of the earth for the bullshit they gave me about their insurance.
Learned a tough lesson from that one.
I rented a car from Hertz this weekend and the desk person blatantly lied about the coverage provided by my credit card. Who knows if he's instructed to say that or not, but it's shady either way.
all multi-billion dollar companies. pretty much not compatible with (quote mode) democracy (end quote mode)
Besides the most obviously evil corporations everyone hates - Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, Nestle, etc?
I have a deeply personal grudge against Sega for how they repeatedly butchered my favorite series. I'm also carrying a grudge against Capcom for lying about SF5 on Linux, they posted that announcement and then just never mentioned it again, still to this day.
Nestle. I don't believe there's a single company that's been responsible for more evil in the world.
- Blackwater? Rank amateurs.
- Chiquita? A full level higher of malicious human rights violations, and worthy of execution. But still small game.
- De Beers? Hopefully someday a book will be published naming and shaming every executive and their families. Company and descendants should be stripped of all their wealth and used to restore the countries and cultures they've raped.
But Nestle tops the list, and a lot of the current execs should be lined up against the wall.
Most governments qualify, but they're not, technically, "companies," so I'm sticking to brands.
Futureshop. I will forever piss on the grave of that horrible company. I waiting years for it's demise and now I am vindicated.
A dear friend had an Experience with FS and a computer he purchased. So, after yet another refund attempt (within the window, as per the rules,etc) he grabs the machine, jumps on the counter and starts calling people over like he's PT Barnam: "gather 'round, folks, and listen to my story after I bought a computer here!". And for 5'8" he had the voice of the guy who plays Reacher on TV.
Odd. He got his refund that minute. He was asked not to shop there again, and he agreed readily.
