Your Most Hated Game Developers

[Mahan_Native]

i think none.
if there is just one game developer that i don't like i just ignore it and don't care about it.

Apart from the ones I mentioned and their specific reasons, it just amounts down to stuff I'm not interested about. If they make a game I don't care about or don't even feel like trying, I just steer clear from them. Stuff like RGG Studio, or Platinum, or EA (last EA game I bothered to check was Dead Space 3 LAST YEAR while binging the trilogy I never played), stuff like that.

Hating game developers is cringe.

 

[Frickinfrik]

I could go with the easy targets... I could say EA, Bethesda or Ubisoft.

Then again, they are mainly publishers nowadays. They have their internal subsidiaries do the developing. Still terrible companies though.

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Bashed their own fans for telling them that they didn't want to play as cringe college students committing crimes to pay their student loan debt.

Damn, that's terrible they did that.

after training in the mountains with a master buddhist for the last 20 years, i no longer feel the need to ruminate over video games I don't like. also can defeat wild Nu with bare hands. recommend this lifepath to many

Peter Molyneux, the biggest liar of all of video games and breaking promises to everyone. He killed off the Fable series and the dev team along with it scamed lots of people on crowdfunding, he gives Todd Howard a run of his money.

An aquaintance of mine who "invested" in my friends' studio. Some nasty noveau-riche techbro who wanted fast cash because he saw the indie scene was booming and he probably remembered playing a video game when he was younger, but he knew fuck-all about how making games worked.
Forced my friends to spend most of their time consulting for other studios for peanuts, then fired all of them once they eventually managed to release their game (which they had worked on long before he came along) because it didn't make him millions.
Absolute bottom of the barrel scumbag, and the indie scene is full of them nowadays, but nobody wants to talk about it so it's a sort of open secret they even exist. Rich people who take studios hostage by gaslighting them into thinking they need them in order to survive and act as the leader, then when things go south because they know nothing about managing anyone, they just fire them and never takes any accountability.

 

[Don Patch]

Gonna go out on a limb and blame the publishers and executives for bad games/decisions/etc.
Not the devs. Odds are that a majority of the time, they'd have wanted to make a good game but upper-mid-management, executives, focus groups, trends, buzzword clouds (and now AI), and just plain greed got in the way.

Lookin' at your list thinking "Activision, Microsoft, EA... the trinity of suck."

woof, it is kind of inhumanly impossible to defend yourself against these kinds of vampires unless you've been burned once already or have enough money to where you never feel the pang of desperation brought on when offered a (poison) fruit.

 

[dropsmegamega]

whoever developed deadly premonition, because despite I love that game it runs like shit and none of its ports and re-releases fix anything at all, even making it worse. and then they ruined everything that was good about it in the sequel. great job

 

[tunezlovfull]

Rrrrrrandy....

[Dyne]

Yeah 99% of my disdain is reserved for publishers like EA and Ubisoft.
Not developers.

 

[Boo Man]

there are many game developers that deserve hate
but Blizzard is the worst by far imo

 

[qw90700]

Hating game developers is cringe.

Then you know nothing, Jon Snow lol.

Let's say there are ones ruining the games with their choices in a way they insult customers for scam and make fun of people, and then treating customers or employees badly. And the ones ruining the video game industry itself and scamming customers with their BS philosophies they introduced to the industry. And there are ones believe they became god just because their rubbish sold a lot and became popular so they committed social suicide lol.

Sometimes publisher is to blame, sometimes the developer is to blame. It depends. But things are beyond hating them for a subjective sense of "they developed bad game" or something that trivial.

For example gotta hate Hideo Kojima and Todd Howard for many reasons. After they die video game industry will get a little better but then there are worse people can come to the industry as already newer ones ruins the industry with their BS further lol.

Keiji Inafune.

 

[Questless Knight]

Devlopers of publishers
EA
Ubisoft
Blizzard
Sony
Nintendo
Microtards both PC and console
343
Bioware
Bandai "I both hate and love them for reasons"
Capcom "both love and hate them"
Kinami "FUCK THEM".

 

[Lokgamer]

Hideo Kojima; I wouldn't say I hate him, I just think is extremely overrated. I've played his two "master pieces", Metal Gear solid 1 and 3, and in short, they are garbage. Plus, he almost turns Silent Hill into a generic jumpscares-based horror game (Thank god it was cancelled)

Capcom: For overexploit Resident Evil and ignore Devil May Cry

EA: For kill Visceral games and Alice Asylum.

Konami: For kill team silent, the only team capable of make an actual good Silent Hill.

 

[Graves Ruinwalker]

Simple answer : All modern day Triple A Developers .

Truthful Jokes aside .

Hideo Kojima :
While some MGS Games were great and i love Snatcher , I hate him how much he straight up stole ideas from movies to make those games and especially how looooooooong the cutscenes became lately . I could go on about him personally but thats step too far and i keep it for me .

John Romero (its more a hate/Love thing) :
Hey johny-boy ! Where is Daikatana 2 and a Remake to Daikata 1 ? I cant live on without my best bro superfly .

Randy bi-....Pitchford :
That guy should let Duke Nukem out .
He doesnt do anything with Duke Nukem and is absolutly a clown of the most cringiest and worthless kind.

I could go on about Dev-studios too but i leave it out. I know there are people which love the games from those studios that i hate with a passion . I dont wanna start a war over this and being fun-killer aint my stuff .

 

[Esidemoken]

The ones that hurt RE since the fourth game as well as SH4, basically any developer that instead of creating a new IP just takes an already successful one and turns it into a chimera.

 

[Lokgamer]

Tomonobu Itagaki he's the reason about why we don't have Dead or Alive 1-4 and Ninja Gaiden 1/Black and 2 ports because the fucking idiot forced Team Ninja to delete the Source Codes

But we have a remaster of ninja gaiden 2

True... damn I'm tired of so many souls.

 

[Deleted member 384463]

EA
Because it ruined the Need for Speed franchise and closed several studios

 

[Sfjeov]

Square enix for doing Front Mission dirty it ain't even funny bro
Also Yasumi Matsuno is a bit overrated imo (i don't hate him tho)
