In this riveting exposé by Gameranx, we delve into the top 10 outrageous statements made by game companies that have left gamers scratching their heads in disbelief. From PlayStation's hypocritical claim of being the best place to play while blocking crossplay to Capcom's audacious defense of on-disc DLC, the industry's corporate overlords seem to have a knack for putting their foot in their mouths. The sheer arrogance displayed by these companies, such as Don Mattrick's infamous dismissal of backwards compatibility, showcases a disconnect between executives and the gaming community.
2K Games' insertion of unskippable ads in full-price games and EA's misguided belief that Dragon Age failed due to a lack of live service elements further highlight the out-of-touch nature of these statements. Ubisoft's bold declaration that Skull and Bones is a "fully-fledged quadruple-A game" raises eyebrows, while EA's ill-advised attempt at humor with the "EA 10 but they only like playing single player games" meme falls flat. Unity's controversial decision to charge developers per install sparked outrage and led to a mass exodus to other game engines.
EA's CEO Blake Jorgenson's assertion that linear games are falling out of favor despite the success of titles like God of War and Resident Evil 7 showcases a fundamental misunderstanding of gamer preferences. Finally, Ubisoft's suggestion that gamers should get comfortable with not owning their games epitomizes the industry's shift towards a more consumer-hostile approach. The backlash from fans, developers, and industry insiders serves as a stark reminder that game companies must prioritize player satisfaction and transparency to maintain trust and goodwill in the ever-evolving world of gaming.
