Activision is worse than EA in my opinion. Whereas EA can come up with something good every once in a while, like Titanfall 2 or SW Jedi: Fallen Order (thank Respawn for those two classics), Activision can't. In fact, they'd rather fire multiple employees at once than make something decent for once (other than what they're doing with Crash Bandicoot, which they didn't originally make in the first place).

Warcraft 3: Reforged the updated remaster of one my most favorite games Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos + The Frozen Throne was a disaster on every level.

Really awful how gaming companies treat employees. I get that 1) yeah, a lot of tech corporations do that and well, 2) uhh, corporations do that. But gaming companies seem to be especially bad, with their crunch schedules, misogyny, discrimination. In many ways, companies like Blizzard exploit the passion of their incoming employees (Blizzard tax, which made it so workers were paid less than other companies since they had the privilege of working for Blizzard). They also take fan passion for granted as well. And not at all surprised since they were LOVED by fans - not just the games but the company as well, but one thing after another tarnished it and they pissed off some of their most loyal fans. I wasn't surprised that EA was at 5. I was surprised that it was considered a studio that "Fans used to love." I love a lot of games, even many from EA (Sims, before they got ridiculous in milking, Burnout 3 and Revenge, etc.) but I never loved the company. I think we as people CAN do better, so companies can make decent profit, workers can be happy and healthy and work in an environment where ideas and creativity flow freely, and passion doesn't turn to burning out and panic attacks, plus other health issues. They can make products that can keep customer loyalty, rather than exploiting them, buying and destroying beloved studios, milking franchises. But it's become all about the investor calls (see the timing of certain things . . .) and less about making the best product they can, and having a reputation as a company worth respect and loyalty while taking care of their own people. But these are all choices, and we'll see what they do in the future.

If Warcraft 3: Reforged would have been want people were promised and if Diablo Immortal would have only been as greedy as Genshin Impact then Blizzard is probably able to keep most of the work environment issues out of the public eye Activision was beloved in the 80s making the best Atari 2600 games like Pitfall, HERO, River Raid, and my personal favorite as a kid Decathlon EA time to shine came in the 90s with their sports franchises becoming the gold standard and their lawsuit against Sega's cartridge standards gave them anti-establishment cred. Blizzard, whose heyday was around the turn of the century well before the Activision merger, was THE company whose work PC gamers would trust sight unseen, regardless of delays. During this time Blizzard also developed Battlenet for free, giving the road map to others on the future of multiplayer gaming. You even missed the reason people turned on the company. they stopped making great games you would buy once and have years of entertainment. If Warcraft 3: Reforged would have been want people were promised and if Diablo Immortal would have only been as greedy as Genshin Impact then Blizzard is probably able to keep most of the work environment issues out of the public eye at least as much as other studios like Ubisoft and Gearbox have.

The only "bad thing" Naughty Dog did, if it can be considered such, was to stop with Jak and Daxter. TLOU2 is one of the best things they have done

[@whenisdinner2137]

I don't think Bethesda should be on this list but I know they are because I've seen the internet and they do not allow a single failure and don't get into the context of anything. And it's not like Bethesda hasn't been publishing good games after 76. I love how people just ignore Fallout 4 like it doesn't exist or it was somehow bad Mods should undeniably be paid for because it supports the mod authors who don't get a fucking dime otherwise.

[@DustinKopperman]

Naughty Dog and Bethesda and Electronic Arts and Konami has disappointed me the most on the PS3 or on the PS4

[@sparkyfolf9487]

Didn't forget Bethesda shut down the sequal to Prey (2006) called Prey 2 when it was basically finished. Now if you beat the 2006 game your met with "Prey will return" to be continued screen wich is a reminder of what could have been.

I'm quite surprised that Capcom wasn't on the list. Capcom might have messed up after they've cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 on the Nintendo 3DS when the 3DS had a very rocky launch, released Street Fighter X Tekken with Bad Box Art Mega Man as to me it was a fun joke character, cancelled Mega Man Universe which is going to be our Mario Maker but with Mega Man until Nintendo and fans did Super Mario Maker and Mega Man Maker and Maverick Hunter done by Armature Studio which sadly got scrapped, Mega Man Online is a no go, so does Star Force 4. Thank god Capcom stop the DLC crap as it was getting stale by releasing Street Fighter 5 as I might get the season pass to unlock all fighters but not right now, The Mega Man franchise legacy collections, making Resident Evil great again by returning it back to its survivor horror roots with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil 8: Village as I can't wait for Street Fighter 6. I wish Capcom should revitalize Dino Crisis as Dino Crisis 3 destroyed the series. Battling dinosaurs in space? Really? A new Breath of Fire game would've been nice if it wasn't on mobile! Hell Morrigan needs more love as she needs her new game with Darkstalkers 4. I could say the same that we do need Mega Man X9 and Mega Man ZX3 as I know Capcom is busy making Mega Man 12 with the RE engine. Sadly No Dead Rising 5 that series is dead and it's a good thing because after Dead Rising 2 that's when the series went downhill.

Here's a novel concept. If everybody's so mad about companies releasing broken games before they're ready how about everybody just stops buying games until they're ready? That will kill the market and force them to make a game that is not broken if everyone just stops buying them. But if everyone keeps buying them. What reason do they have to make them not broken at release?
