The 25 Dumbest Moments in Gaming

Posted by simoniker on from the dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb dept.

Gudlyf writes "GameSpy has a multi-part series this week titled The 25 Dumbest Moments in Gaming, highlighting some of the biggest debacles ever to plague our beloved pastime. While only the first part of the series is present, I can already think of a few that the list wouldn't be complete without. Anyone care to offer their own picks?" Predictions for the Top 5 also welcome, we'll run another story at the end of the week to see how people did.

    All of the former 'free' sites, which used to be cool (gamespy, fileplanet, soon to be gamefaqs) going pay-to-view (Yeah, they say it won't happen. I've heard that atleast a dozen times by now, and, because of believing that, I now visit about... oh... a dozen fewer sites than I used to. Hm. Consider that!)

    Just general alienation of the fans. Putting your fanbase off, and devaluing them is... suicidal. Without fans, you have no gmae. Well. You have a game. Just no one plays it.

    I'm sorry if this is a troll. Just my own $0.02

    However, in terms of gaming, how about Nintendo's Gameboy SP with no audio jack? What about the repeated pushbacks on Star Wars: Galaxies?

    I swear to God, if you ever say "/." again when you mean "Slashdot," I will climb into your window while you sleep and jerk off all over your face.
