“It’s a learning point and you guys should benefit from better patch notes moving forward.”

I feel in a discussion of capitalism and South Park, one should at least mention the Walmart episode.

I mean, they said the GTA Online stock market was coming soon, but...

Bethesda (the publisher) is basically too big to fail at this point. It’s like EA suddenly dying over a few bad games.

Please stop acting like Swastika = Confederate Flag = Anything else. Symbols of oppression are not universally interchangeable.

Except the ones that survive are stronger than ever. 

Fallout 76, by most reasonable accounts, is a game released in Beta, in an era where that’s no longer uncommon, even if they’re rightfully being roasted for refusing to call it that.

I did forget Sim City (2013). Sadly the edit window is only 15 minutes from posting.

No, that had a physical wide release, so I totally considered it. In this case no indie means no broken digital only game made by some random dude, because I could make worse game right now in C#, and throw it on the Steam garbage pile free-for-all.

I tried to vary the list up, from the most hyped of failures (Duke Nukem, Daikatana), to games that were just physically more broken than Fallout 76 even at it’s most meme worthy (Superman, Big Rigs). Everything I listed however was physically published and could be bought at local game store or Walmart.

Maybe this will be the start of my own video game news channel, where I spend 11 minutes talking about something that could be explained via text in 1.

No I didn’t, it’s there.

Possibly, I tried to avoid indie games by and large, but Big Rigs got multiple physical retail releases, which I figured was a fair minimum standard. It is also infamous at this point as possible the single most broken game to ever be physically published.

Diablo 3's launch was a slower burn of hatred, compared to say FFXIV’s launch. I really considered it, but this list is already subjective enough that I figured that’d piss people off.

Hmm, subjective list, but it has to contend with:

Like Skyrim Remastered. Skyrim VR. Skyrim Switch Edition.

In their effort to fix things, they’re rushing. Which causes them to get sloppy.

Nope.

New gamers don’t have that problem. If there is no reason for someone to join Steam over a rival, then why bother? Sunk costs don’t create growth, no platform can survive on stagnation alone.

That’s fine for now. I don’t have Origin installed because EA has nothing I want to play. But all it will take is that ONE Epic exclusive that you really wanna play, and suddenly you HAVE to maintain 2 stores.
