Top 10 Good but Greedy Companies

This is not a clone of most greedy companies. This list is about good companies that are greedy. A lot of these are game companies, and there were a few items I considered but decided not to include.

The Top Ten
  1. Microsoft

    Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports, and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and services. It was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975... read more

    As much as I love Windows 10, Xbox 360, Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Word, they charge for Xbox Live. Although this allows Xbox Live to be of high quality, it shows that they love money. Additionally, they bought Rare and turned them into garbage.

    I like the Xbox, but Microsoft forced me to leave it.

    It was either that or EA at a deserving #1.

  2. Disney

    The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. It was founded on October 16, 1923, by Walt and Roy O. Disney. Disney is known for its film studios, theme... read more

    As much as I love movies like Big Hero 6 and The Lion King, the movie Frozen has a lot of merchandise surrounding it, including food with the characters' faces on the box. Disney Infinity is essentially Skylanders, but with Disney characters and a less flexible version of Minecraft's building gameplay. Fifteen bucks for a figurine required to play a game? Yay.

    They shut down amazing games such as Toontown and Club Penguin for a horrible mobile game that basically forces you to pay money.

    Thanks to them, vast amounts of history from the past 100 years are slowly fading away due to the copyright laws they keep extending. Plus, they did to LucasArts what EA did to Westwood.

  3. Electronic Arts

    Electronic Arts Inc., also known as EA, is an American video game developer and publisher headquartered in Redwood City, California. Founded in 1982, it is known for franchises such as FIFA, Madden NFL, The Sims, and Battlefield. EA is one of the world's largest video game companies.

    EA is a good game company due to quality games like The Sims, Battlefield, and Mass Effect, but they also have a history of excessive DLC. I've heard they've even charged money for patches.

    Also, they do nothing in Plants vs. Zombies 2 except make slightly upgraded versions of normal plants that cost money. PopCap, bring the worlds back! #bustEA

    EA is one of the greediest companies to have ever existed. But at least they make good games.

  4. Google

    Google LLC is an American multinational technology company specializing in internet-related services and products, including online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, software, and hardware. It was founded in September 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students... read more

    As much as I like the Play Store and YouTube, the games on their Play Store have in-app purchases even if they are free. They also bought YouTube. Finally, you buy shows on their Play Store while you can watch them for free online.

  5. Nintendo

    Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational video game company headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. It develops, publishes, and manufactures video games and video game consoles.

    Nintendo was founded in 1889 by craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi, originally producing handmade hanafuda playing cards. After... read more

    They are the Disney of video game companies. Their game ports are more expensive than those on Xbox and PlayStation, with downgraded graphics and gameplay. Their consoles underperform in their generation, except for the GameCube.

    They take money from Let's Players who record Nintendo games. I don't care how many of you on TopTens are going to attack me. It's true.

  6. Sony

    Sony Group Corporation, commonly known as Sony and stylized as SONY, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate headquartered in Kōnan, Minato, Tokyo, Japan.

    As a major technology company, it operates across consumer and professional electronics, imaging and sensing technology, video games, music... read more

    Let's raise the prices of PS Plus! Better yet, let's make people pay to play online!

  7. Starbucks

    Starbucks Corporation is an American multinational coffeehouse chain headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It was founded at Seattle's Pike Place Market in 1971 by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker. As of 2025, Starbucks operated approximately 40,990 locations worldwide.

    Good coffee, yes.

    One person does the work of two, yes.

    Schedules your work unfairly, yes.

    Takes advantage of hardworking people, yes.

  8. Capcom

    They gave us Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Mega Man, but also gave us disc-locked DLC, which is basically paying for what is already on the disc.

  9. Dish Network

    Dish Network is an American provider of satellite television and IPTV services. It offers television programming, pay-per-view content, and interactive features to customers in the United States. Dish Network is a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation.

    Basically, they have good channels but also try to get you to stick with them by making commercials hating on DirecTV, which takes money away from their rival.

  10. Konami

    How dare they bait the fans of Gurren Lagann when they disappointed us with some stupid pachinko machines instead of a new Gurren Lagann series! Just what the hell do you think one of your greatest works with the company Gainax is, Konami?

    They make good games like Metal Gear and Castlevania. They excel in game development. However, they also treat their workers poorly and don't give them the credit they deserve. They are not good at treating workers well.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Sega Sammy Holdings

  13. ?

    Popeyes

  14. The Contenders
  15. Ubisoft

    Ubisoft Entertainment SA is a French multinational video game developer and publisher headquartered in Saint-Mandé, France. It was founded in 1986 by the Guillemot brothers. Ubisoft is known for popular franchises such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Just Dance.

    So, Assassin's Creed is good, but they also rehash Just Dance and their other franchises each year. They force PC gamers to use the terrible Uplay platform and still charge lots of money for microtransactions, DLC, and season passes. So yeah, a company good for the games, bad for the service.

  16. Roblox Corporation

    Roblox Corporation is an American video game developer based in San Mateo, California. Founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, the company developed Roblox, a game platform and game creation system released in 2006. The company went public in 2021 and employed more than 2,400 people by the... read more

    They wouldn't fix their original vehicle system bugs and glitches, nor their physics system, including other bugs. Instead, they decided to ignore these issues and the community to make more profit than any other company out there. Things were better when Erik was around, but unfortunately, his life was cut short. They would be better off not being run by a Bill Gates wannabe.

    You know what's ridiculous about this game? They support ODers (online daters) because they spend their money on Builders Club and Robux. So, we can all tell that they care more about money than a child's life.

  17. Infinite Flight

  18. Activision

    Activision Publishing, Inc. is an American video game publisher. It was founded on October 1, 1979, and was the world's first independent developer and distributor of video games for gaming consoles. Activision is known for popular franchises such as Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater... read more

    I wish they were higher up! I should've added them the first time! If I did, they were voted down! This song is terrible!

  19. Apple

    Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company specializing in consumer electronics, software, and online services, headquartered in Cupertino, California. Apple recorded approximately $416.2 billion in net sales during its 2025 fiscal year and has been among the world's largest companies... read more

    Greedy, merciless, and loser companies. Countries: May the God who created Heaven and Earth guide them and their families. They're like wacko mafias.

  20. Under Armour

    Under Armour, Inc. is an American sportswear company that manufactures footwear and athletic and casual apparel. Under Armour's global headquarters are located at Baltimore Peninsula in Baltimore, Maryland, with additional offices in Amsterdam (European headquarters), Austin, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Houston... read more

  21. McDonald's

  22. Best Buy

    They are good at fixing computers, but I found out online that they charged someone $200 to clean a computer virus.

  23. Nike

    Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that designs, develops, manufactures, and markets footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services worldwide. The company is headquartered near Beaverton, Oregon, in the Portland metropolitan area. It is the world's largest supplier of athletic... read more

  24. BrainPOP

  25. AT&T

    AT&T is an American telecommunications company that provides services including mobile telephony and broadband internet. The original American Telephone and Telegraph Company was incorporated in 1885, while the modern AT&T took its current name after SBC Communications acquired its former parent company... read more

  26. Nickelodeon

    Nickelodeon is an American pay television channel that began as a test broadcast on December 1, 1977, before launching nationally under its current name on April 1, 1979. It is owned by Paramount Skydance and is based in New York City. The network is widely known for its original children's programming... read more

    True. They were responsible for the announcement of Kamp Koral, and they intentionally waited for Stephen Hillenburg to die just because he was against spin-offs of the SpongeBob series. Nickelodeon is literally defiling Hillenburg's grave for money.

  27. Bed Bath & Beyond

  28. Supercell

    Supercell is a mobile game development company founded in June 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. The company's debut game was Gunshine.net, a browser-based multiplayer role-playing game. Supercell later gained international fame with successful mobile games such as Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.
