The video game industry, for all its qualities we love and are here for, is often a glorious and depressing train wreck of scandal and controversy ever stirred by companies, PR departments and unethically rich executives who are terminally disconnected from the real world.
All too often, mishandled game launches, features, in-studio situations and poorly thought out marketing stunts that result in some degree of controversy are made all the worse by colossally tone-deaf responses and follow-ups from companies and their representatives.
Of course, the history of the video game industry reaches back decades and is positively overflowing with calamitous blunders of the highest order, so documenting every instance of a suit opening their mouth and ruining everyone's day would be a herculean and nigh impossible task. As such, we've decided to mostly stick to recent examples of tone-deaf statements, though some of these are a bit older.
Be wary all ye who tread here - the takes be hot and cringe.
