A history of gaming's biggest scandals

Spandas Lui writes: "We all lap up celebrity scandals , exhilarated by the unfortunate plight of the rich and famous (Ms Bingle, we're looking at you). But watching a scandal unfold in the gaming world is akin to watching puppies being slowly drowned in a barrel of acid. It's no fun at all.

You get that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, knowing that each volatile headline could directly affect the games you play.

From the infamous DRIV3R-GATE to the unfortunate plight of Richard Gaywood, these are the events that rocked the gaming world..."

lol at how Jade Raymond disappeared from the spotlight after
whoring herself for Ubi and catching heat because of that lol
last time I heard she got a nice promotion for her whoring.

Reibooi5143d ago

Jade didn't whore herself. Ubi did. Ubisoft as a company thought it a good idea to put her in the spotlight as much as possible to help bolster sales of the game and it back fired. They learned their lesson and now she just stays out of the spotlight and works on the games.

Step back and think about how different gaming would be if Nintendo agreed to the Sony deal. Without the existence of the PlayStation, Xbox would never come to be as it was the main reason Microsoft got into the console market. They were afraid that one day the PlayStation would replace the computer (in some ways it has with all these media capabilities and even has a browser). Crazy when you really think about it and even kind of scary.

Hey she wouldnt allow it if she wasnt into it. Which means she whored herself, and they thought it was a good idea. You cant tell me she didnt love the attention. Heck... i would love the attention .. and im a man ! lol.

I hate it when people think females are these innocent prescious non devious thinking things. They are human !!! Women are more scandelous then men! This is not the 50s. Daddys little girl is doing way more then u think! lol...

Just cause a girl is cute... does not mean shes innocent. If a company says we want to whore you out and she doesnt put a stop to it.. it means shes down with it. If she wasnt down with it shed be a millionaire for a sexual harrassment suit.

rofl didnt know about a Jade comic. Hilarious. Maybe that's why she was so distant for Assassins Creed 2's development cycle.

Syaz15143d ago

she does look good, but she's in it to make games, not to whore around. what the hell was ubisoft thinking anyway? she's got dignity too.

BigPappaPump5143d ago

"I'll buy your game Jade" LOL!

HolyOrangeCows5143d ago

The picture of Hilary Clinton watching Hot Coffee.....lol.

peeps5143d ago

theres quite a few mistakes with the article it seems.

it talks about the ps3 launch saying that for $500 you could get a 20gb one. there never has been a 20gb ps3, the launch ones were all 60gb.

and it says when the ps3's launched in europe and australia they didn't have any backwards compatibility which is untrue. The first ps3's released in the EU were again the 60gb ones with backwards compatibility. It was only when they introduced the 40gb ps3's did they lose the functionality

slyrunner5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

Im not going to put a disagree, but sony did have a launch console of 20gig priced at 500 and 60gig priced at 600 :) And while Nintendo didnt want to put all its eggs in to one basket like sony did with the CD format on their console, at first it seemed like a wise choice, but later back fired when developers saw the potential of having more space on a CD rather than a cartridge

DARK WITNESS5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

sorry peeps but ur wrong there. the ps3 launched with a 20gig.. it just didnt last very long before they scrapped it and then came the 80gig units. if i remember right they had already stpped the 20gig by the time sony launched in the uk

NeutralGamer5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

Nintendo getting screwed because of storage issues on Cartridges and better storage on discs?

I wonder who will get screwed this gen (hint: Blueray vs DVD = CD vs Cartridge)

EDIT: Oh wait Square already screwed us Xbox owners with FF13! :D
EDIT 2: Actually Square should be on that list for the photoshopped FF13 images...

peeps5143d ago

yes but that's what i'm saying. the article says the eu launch was bad because they didn't feature backwards compatibility when they did...

it was only when they introduced the 40gb systems here in the uk that it was no longer supported.

csimpson5143d ago

I live in Australia. You're wrong.

http://www.cnet.com.au/ps3-...

"The Australian and European model of the PlayStation 3, which is set for launch on 23 March, 2007, will use different hardware specifications from the models already released in Japan on 11 November, 2006, and in the US on 17 November, 2006. Backwards compatibility is one of the key differences."

badz1495142d ago

there was 20GB models but that's only for Japan and NA only if I'm not mistaken. most PAL regions like EU (not quite sure) and AUS (confirmed) didn't have access to the 20GB since launch and in AUS, the launch price was AUD999 for 60 GB! the PAL versions of older PS3s also have BC but not fully. the BC was emulated because the lack of either the GS or EE chip but it's there! the 1st model without the BC was the 40GB which later became the 80GB but the 80GBs which came with MGS4 bundle have emulated BC as well.

peeps5142d ago

ok lol well all i know is i bought a ps3 on launch in the uk and could play ps2 games on it

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
