Kane99 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 2021 was a year full of controversies, from Ubisoft knowing about sexual assault allegations, Activision and Blizzard doing the same, and allowing their CEO to stay on after he knew as well. The release of GTA trilogy, Gamestop stock fiasco and more. This year has been a mess, and that's not just because of covid. Gaming companies are being awful to their developers, their employees, and to the gamers out there. Gaming companies seem to only care about themselves and their bottom dollar. They will let a CEO like Bobby Kotick stay in power, all the while people under him have been hurt. I hope 2022 is a change of pace and a change to the way studios are running things. Because if we don't do anything, 2022 will just be another year of blunders that big time studios continue to make.

skyfire Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I think the EA and the other game companies having the employee issue was big too. Covid was ignored after like 5 months or so people and didn't took things seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I cross my hands hoping that 2022 delivers the best wishes just as we've hoped for around video game too. I don't want to see more disastrous circumstances like the one witnessed this year 2021 around video game companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I was going to say Cyberpunk until I realised that the game came out at the end of 2020. The time really has flown by because it honestly felt like just yesterday that everybody was complaining about it. The sexual harassment stuff was definitely the worst thing for 2021.

Heatman Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 2022 is already a more better year in terms of video games development when compared to all the shit that took place in 2021. I think it's only the cancelation of E3 2022 that's been off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Cancellation of E3 is a controversial one no doubt, the abused lashed out by Activision blizzard to their employees, is considered as controversial. Then the most annoying is the ongoing hardware scarcity with PS5 and Xbox series X. Which has seen demand much more greater than the supply.

Scarcity happens with every product once in a while, I would consider the ongoing hardware scarcity with PS5 a controversial one when by the end of the year it's not steadily available in the market.

It is devastating already, majority are having the funds but aren't seeing a PS5 to buy. When you see one though, the price set by scalpers will just discourage you from buying.
