Nintendo's biggest PR disaster has to be their constant abuse of copyright strikes. While admittedly, many people did have it coming (the guy who made that mod for Palworld that turns it into Pokemon did get donations from the community, which technically means he was making money off an IP without Nintendo's consent), most of the time it's completely uncalled for. Like when asked why AM2R was taken down, Reggie responded with saying it was a "commercial product" despite no evidence supporting said claims (Samus Returns being an official remake being the only reason I can think of, but it's not like people weren't gonna buy that after playing AM2R), and another example is last year, they threatened to shut down a Smash Ultimate tournament for disabled people for using third-party controllers. Not only isn't the use of third-party devices for first-party systems perfectly legal since they all have Bluetooth built in as standard, but it's even more jarring because Nintendo doesn't make any first-party controllers for the disabled and yet have the audacity to go overboard over something they know full well is even worse for PR. If any of the participants were children, it makes it even more of a disaster since Nintendo puts great emphasis on making games specifically for children. Thankfully in this case, the only thing stronger than Japanese copyright lawyers is Norwegian lawmakers.

I've heard that Epic's contract with DC prevented the whip emote from being disabled, which just raises a whole bunch of questions, such as "Did Epic seriously not talk to DC and tell them how bad this would make them look?" Then again, knowing DC, they probably wouldn't care.

Regarding the Fortnite scandal, I used to work for Epic at the time when that happened. I was a technical support. First of all, I laughed so hard when the kids found the exploit for the emote of the whip. But this was because of the legal agreement of DC and Epic. Basically other companies "rent" their IPs to Epic/ . This means that in all times of the game, the linseed stuff cannot be disabled. It was so absurd and I still laugh to this day

Regarding the Halo community manager blaming the Ukraine war for not responding, the other crazy part of that was that guy's side account (which was linked to in his community manager account) was posting all weekend about crypto stuff and clearly he was focusing on his personal stuff. When people saw him posting about crypto all weekend, then blamed the war for being distracted, it was way obvious. That stuff got hidden immediately and he was moved elsewhere in 343, but it was wild

They tried to go with controversy-based marketing by getting a publicist to make reports that heavily exaggerated or fabricated aspects of the game that could be seen as problematic, most notable being the erroneous claim that the game shows sexual content involving underage characters. This not only caused the game to get banned in several countries but also caused it to bomb in the countries that did get a release, causing the studio that developed it to shut down.

It is way more bad then what is told in this video, they made a competition to promote the game withe the 2nd circle of lust, whoever won the competition were rewarded with a “night of lust”

Idk Xbox maybe pushed to hard with the console being an entertainment system but really that’s what consoles have become, I use my Xbox most days to just watch tv and chat with friends that I don’t get to see as much as I like.

The Ubisoft micro transaction rise is almost worse than EA's. It was less predatory as most was cosmetic but it happened pretty well the same way, out of no where and above and beyond

I honestly thought Dante's Inferno's Sin to Win promotion was much worse for the game than fake protesters

It's funny that everyone is Peter Molyneux now. At least his games were good on release though, even if they were only 30% of what he planned.

The "alliwantforxmasisapsp" thing I found out through the weirdest of ways: Ashens. Yes, that same Ashens who reviews tat on his brown sofa. One of his earliest videos was a parody video on this topic.

I certainly enjoyed playing Dante's Inferno, in fact i completed the game in Inferno difficulty and liked the ending even though there wasnt a sequel to it but ended nicely. When i first played it and got to the second ring: Lust and heard the moans, i immediately muted the volume because my parents thought i was watching something i wasnt supposed to but i ended up completing the level and went to Gluttony. But I suppose Dante's Inferno must've made Catholics mad because of how the game was depicting hell i suppose or maybe because of Lucifer.

Mercenaries 2 is one of the best games I ever played back in the day, and they need to remaster it and bring it back.
