It would definitely have to be a huge, irremovable virus that infects any form of computerised hardware causing it to play Rick Astley continually...

A .50 cal to every part of the body failed to stop him.
I think he might be the lich of suck.
A game designer's hell would be a world in which there were no ideas to copy.

Knowing that, should they fail in making and selling a marginally creative game, they'll be subject to the most horrifying afterlife imaginable.
Sounds pretty safe, right? That's because there's a catch. They work for EA.
ETERNAL DAMNATION FOR ALL!!!

Okay, do you want designer hell? Here it is:
You're a rookie designer, fresh out of game designer school, you've been hired by (insert name of game publisher here) and you want to put out YOUR game. The game you've seen in your mind's eye since you were old enough to hold a game controller. The game that would redefine gaming as we know it...but you're a new guy and you have to earn your spurs. So you get assigned to a project. A project you HATE. You hate the characters. You hate the plot. You hate the controls. And most of all you hate the guys in the suits who stop by the design pit every few days and say things like "Hey, you know (insert name of a fad) is hot right now, see if you can put it in the game." Eventually, your commute to work becomes a death march, but you keep at it because your 50 taco-a-day habit is expensive. Eventually, you put this hated project to bed and ship it.
And it clicks.
No one knows why, but this awful game, which every person working on it agrees is awful, blows up. Sales go through the roof, the critics love it, and even the infamous Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw is heard to say "If the designer of this game came up to me and said 'Suck my (bleep) because I'm so awesome' I could totally do it and not be gay." And when you tell the suits you want to start working on YOUR game, they say "Sorry, your schedule is tied up for the next ten years on sequels for your hit game."
THAT is game designer hell.

Your idea of what should have been probably sucked.

You might a be a tad out of touch with the general public and the suits were right...for once.
Damn, when I read the title of this topic that was the first thing I thought of.open trap said:
How do you even make an MMO of that?Jedoro said:
The creators would be ironically punished with the very flaws of their games, since it's for people who make bad games. The guys who made Sonic R would have a special circle reserved just for them, where they'd by forced to listen to looping europop-type music in a room full of Tails Dolls.
Presumably because they're tired of making Sonic games, but Sega won't let them work on anything else. So maybe the Sega executives should be sent to a special hell where they're forced to play all the mediocre Sonic games they keep forcing Sonic Team to make for all eternity.robert632 said:
