Editing out stuff 'cause I feel like a douche that's slandering the name of someone who... well, really doesn't need any help.

Ahem.

I've already said my OT parts to this thread three times though, so I'm not sure what more I could contribute to the conversation.

How has nobody mentioned Zynga yet?

Wasn't that a big issue a while back?

IE, how they treat their employees and the shifty ways they bring customers to play their games?
I totally agree. While EA, Activision, Capcom, Ubisoft, ect can be annoying, Zynga's the only major game company whose sole business platform is to steal from other companies and scam their customers.

Yeah I mean his forum health meter got filled up pretty quick so I don't know how he managed to go on so long without mod wrath after that
Yeah, I have no idea how he got all that other mod wrath.
When I first started noticing him here, he only had one square of health left.
I noticed him a bit but he just seemed to crank it up recently. I know he got suspended for making a dumb thread once and I think he got into trouble for the things he says about smokers. He told me once that he thought they were as bad as thieves, but then that's the tame to the things he's been saying on Destructoid

On the other hand, if he was genuine, then that's kinda sad really. He has some pretty big life lessons to learn.
Well crap he's actually more famous than what we take him for!

Yeah I read that the other week. Couldn't help but LOL. Also I'd say 'infamous' is a better word :p

I can't think of any actually evil developers. Crazy, stupid, useless, etc - yes, but actually evil...not really. I'm struggling here, by the way. Dunno, maybe Square Enix for that "not re-releasing the Final Fantasy lots of people want" or whatever it was. I'm not really a FF player or very knowledgeable, either - I remember seeing enough people still mention this, though. Other than that I really can't think of anybody else. OK, ma-a-aybe Blizzard depending on how you interpret them. I'm not really going to call them evil, though, but it is a possibility.
squenix did rerelease FFVII on psn. They can't remake it it for reasons i, and others, have covered in many, many threads. They may be evil though, considering the sequels for many of their games recently
Someone else said valve, but they aren't evil. They are over-indulged artists.
EA doesnt develop anything that I know of (at least in the game) so they are disqualified, despite being so clearly evil
Blizzard is definitely evil, given that their entire library is made up of satanic time-vacuums. their biggest success didn't even bother including a game with the time-vacuum, just a coat of cartoon paint.
rockstar isn't evil, but is definitely staffed by lifetime inmates
naughty dog and Insomniac both had great franchises they went on to utterly ruin, then released unimpressive "adult" titles. not evil, just annoying as hell
lionhead was very clearly helmed by the Satan, whisperer of lies, and thus are the most evil. Im not calling molyneux satan, just that he was possessed. He's too bald to be satan

I really don't understand why everyone hates Ubisoft.
From what I've seen it's due to the AC2 "Always Online DRM" even though Ubisoft ended up removing it after the backlash but no one seems to care about that last bit. A good chunk of the gaming community seems rather quick to condemn and really likes to hold a grudge.

All their games, not just AC2, and it is still there on all new releases, though they sometimes patch it out after a year or so, but not always. Plus they ruined a whole bunch of good franchises. Most centred around a crappy thriller writer, but good games, to begin with anyway.

Ah, I had no idea that they continued to put it on their new releases. Obviously I've been misinformed, my apologies.

Am I allowed to say DICE? In my honest opinion they only two things good they have done is Mirrors Edge and having there office used in Girl with The Dragon Tattoo.

Ok, I kid on the second part, but I am being serious. I swear if they don't even say a word about Mirrors Edge 2 this year, I will personally give it up. I liked what I saw in Battlefield 3 after seeing it at a Con last year, but after playing it, it's buggy, annoying, the story is non-exsistance and the multiplayer annoys me.

ok, rant over. but my most evil Publisher is EA. DAMN YOU EA.

I have never heard such a phrase before, could you elaborate as to what a "Thriller writer" is?
A writer of thrillers, for example Michael Jackson, but in this case a hack named Tom Clancy who does no actual writing but attaches his name to books written to spec. For other thriller writers see also Andy McNabb or Matthew Riley. Thriller writers don't have to be hacks but in the case of Clancy it just happens to be so.

Valve.

They are bidding their time, getting everyone to love them unconditionally with their great games, good service, and friendliness. Once they have gained enough power... BAM, world dictatorship!

Just you wait...
