Most tone-deaf statements and quotes in gaming history

From Xfire: "Executives, would-be auteurs, marketing departments; sometimes they are oh, so out of touch with the realities of gaming."

Don Mattrick has to take the cake... almost killed the Xbox!

I watched the whole 8-9 min video, and you can tell D.M. was talking just to hear himself talk. The submarine comment also made Xbox look bad because of his ignorance involving the military.

EA has two of them. Nice...It was a joy to read about all these train wrecks. For me, a Diablo fan, Mr. Cheng and crew already ruined Diablo by turning it into WoW, then they come out and attack us for not wanting more WoW on mobile.

These people 100% think they are better and smarter than the public. They feel that this gives them the "god-talent right" to insult their customers on a daily basis. The funny thing is that people will defend their right to be insulted and suckered, so, I guess all is fair.

how did Diablo turn into wow? I would rather make an argument for the opposite. Mythic+ is basically rifts, Titanforging is random gear rolls from Diablo, legion legendaries felt more like diablo legendaries than previous wow legendaries, The artifact power(azerite and anemo) were basically paragon levels from D3.

tbh that dont you have phone statements i cant help but feel sorry for the guy. He probably didnt even wanna announce a mobile diablo game at blizzcon in front of a 99% pc audience. He is probably not even in charge if the game could be ported to pc or not. The blame is on blizzard higher ups for making that one of their main announcements at blizzcon.

Exclusives Are ‘Completely Counter To What Gaming Is About,’ Xbox’s Phil Spencer Says

Phill Spencer: proceeds to spend 88 billion to secure exclusives

MasterChief3624808d ago

I looked that quote up just to be sure you weren't taking it out of context, but wow... yeah he actually said that.

"He added that he believes 'gaming is about entertainment and community and diversion and learning new stories and new perspectives, and I find it completely counter to what gaming is about to say that part of that is to lock people away from being able to experience those games'." is the full quote, found on NME

I can't believe they disrespected Adam Orth like this.

The only PlayStation dev I care about tbh.

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb198122h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein21h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher1d 11h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
