Every day we get on the Internet, we are bound to see a hate comment or two on a company. Maybe Nintendo had a bad E3 conference. Maybe Disney stop decided to focus solely on Miley Cyrus. Maybe Youtube choose an horrible design. Whatever the cause, there is no deniding that these companies are highly hated by a well-represented group.
But this can apply to basically anything that is well known.
Now people will use this as an excuse for hating a company saying how awful they are and how they need to do this and do that. But we're not here to discuss your most hated company. We're here to come to an conclusion on who could be the most hated video game company. Give out reasons why you think they are so hated.
The only rules to this are:
1. You have to follow the forum rules
2. It has to be on companies that are still alive.
3. Try not to take this personally.
A recommendation to this is to list as many critically hated entertainment companies as possible. Also, if you want to list a company because they are critically hated but you like them, go ahead and do that.
You can also debate this with other people. Meanwhlie, I will keep vote count of this. There will be no deadline, so feel free to discuss this to your hearts content.
I'll make an example. This is my list of who I think are the most hated entertainment companies that are still ailve in no particular order:
1. Nintendo. Been one of the most hated video game companies since November, 2006 and especially after the notriously panned Nintendo E3 2008. They are highly criticized for there casual ways and high amount of shovelware. The fact that the online is severely panned too doesn't help the company in reputation. On top of that, 3rd party support have not been the best on the Nintendo Wii, most of which are considered shovelware. The main reason for all the hate on Nintendo is the considered abomination of E3 that was Nintendo E3 2008, where nearly all core support has been left behind, leaving hundreads of thousands of people in a rage. Nintendo's reputation has gone up a little since then, but the effect of E3 2008 remains within the Nintendo community to this day. Lately, it has been reveiled that employees of Nintendo have been overworked and are unsatisfied with their jobs at the company.
2. Disney. Anothe critically hated entertainment company, but it mainly is responsiblie for movies and television shows instead of video games. Disney has garner a reputation for milking Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers to death and lack of quality films in recent years. Toon Disney change into Disney XD also put it's fans into rage, since it was betraying it's promise of Disney-only cartoons on the channel. On top of that, nearly all of the shows on Disney Channel are live-action, a sharp contrast to mainly animation just fifteen years ago. Unlike with Nintendo, where they manage to gather respect from casual gamers, parents themself despise Disney for the sharp and unexpected changes over the years. There was also a report that Disney was treating some of their employees poorly. No matter how you look at it, Disney is going to have a very hard time getting the respect of it's old fans back. However, this isn't the first time they've been in this situation. For example, after Walt Disney's death, Disney enter an "Dark Age" where they lacked quality movies and TV shows, only for the company to be revive by the "Disney Renassiance", a period of high-quality movies and TV shows. Unfortunently, that period did not last long.
3. Cartoon Network. If there was one company that has completely broken it's promise, it's Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network is actually is relatively new company, forming in 1992 under the name Hanna-Barbera. From then until the early 2000's, Cartoon Network were known for high-quality cartoons made by them and it's critically acclaimed blocks such as Cartoon Network's Friday and Toonami. However, starting with it's change of logos in 2004, the channel started to decline in views and in the eyes of the fans, quality. With it's numerous poor business decisions, they have lost a great deal of it's fanbase. From it's outlandish blocks such as Fried Dyanmite, cancellations of well beloved blocks such as Toonami, and even it's introduction of live-action shows, people wonder where the old Cartoon Network is. Sure we have Boomerange, but it doesn't really improve the companies reputation much since it's not part of the basic cable channels. Due to these events, hundreads of thousands, even millions, are boycotting the channel. They are going to need an serious revamp in order to retain any of their old reputation that they lost.
4. Activision. Activision is known for Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, licensed games, and if you're a true gamer, one of the first independent 3rd party companies. They are known for numerous high-quality games back in the day, such as the Pitfall series. However, new generation equal another critically hated company. They are now known for milking Guitar Hero and Call of Duty to death, which they also did with Tony Hawk, which used to be one of the best video game franchise, but has dramatically dropped in quality since Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, the last universally acclaimed installment. Most of their licensed games have not been of good quality and some of their own franchise have seen an drop of quality as well (AKA Tony Hawk). The biggest uproars from them are their notrious greedy ways. Some of their games are unecessarily expensive, plus Bobby Kitock, the CEO of Activision, wants to raise money of video games in the near future, which caused outrages for tens of thousands of people and even an petition to boycott the then upcoming Modern Warfare 2. To this day, they are still critically hated for their greed and how they mess with games numerous times.
5. Youtube. Before Youtube, it was difficult for a person to get his own contents up on the Internet. Thanks to Youtube, millions of people have successfully been able to show the world of their creations and prove that amatuers can make an good video. The company was formed in February of 2005 and each growing day, they became more and more popular. However, now they are one of the most critically hated original video contents websites sites. Nowadays, the site is plagued with hackers, trolls, and people who just don't follow the rules and the moderaters to this day has mostly failed to correct that. Adding to the problem is the recent Youtube suspension debacle, which caused the end of RandomDCE, Lilylivers, and other prominent Youtubers. It also scared others like TheSaneRevelation into closing their accounts as well. On top of that, the community has accused Youtube of not looking at the videos for copyright infridgement, which cause numerous stories of people getting suspended for apprently no reason. The latest outcry is the new design of the site and how it is complicating and a mess in general. As a matter of fact, last year on December, there was a day when Youtube was actually boycotted by the mass, showing that the company has a very poor relationship with it's fans.
6. Sega. As all of you know, Sega used to be an console manufacturing company. They were known for there high quality titles and numerous franchises. The Sega Genesis and Sega Dreamcast are well-beloved around the world. However, it's 2010 and Sega is out of the console manufacuturing business. They are now just a video game company. Unfortunently, Sega has also lost the majority of it's fans. The first wave was the Sega Saturn, where the CEO at the time in North America basically outlawed 2D games and RPG's (The former wasn't strictly enforced, but the latter was for the most part). This would cost them with the next console. While well loved by fans, it was already too late for Sega. In 2001, they went 3rd party to the three major console manufactuers, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. This is where the 2nd wave begun and we're still in it. They have been known for driving the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, the franchise that managed to become the world famous companies they are today, into the ground, especially with the critically panned Sonic The Hedgehog for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. They have also been milking that franchise to death and neglecting most others. Thus, Sega has lost a massive chunck of their original fanbase. It doesn't look like we'll ever see Sega gain respect from most of it's former fans again.
7. Microsoft. Easily the most hated computer manufactuers and has garner some hate from the video game community as well. Although Bill Gates is an awesome guy, it doesn't help the fact that Microsoft is known as an very greedy company. Their Window Vista computer have been critically panned by the people who used it, complaining about how it doesn't work well. Also, they do not have a very good standing in the video game industry. They have been pointed at for milking the Halo franchise dry, which is why the quality of the franchise is starting to drop. The community is also critcally panned, as it shows a huge amount of racism, people breaking rules, insults, all that yucky stuff that we don't want in online games. The fact that you have to pay $40-50 a year doesn't help it's relationship with it's fans, only worsen them. Although they are losing money, they do make successful products and not all of them are liked by it's fans.
8. Viacom. Viacom is an multi-billionaire company that owns numerous companies. You know MTV, Nick, Vh1, etc. They are also one of the very most hated entertainment company in the world now. As you might recall, Viacom just sued Youtube for one billion dollar, even thought Youtube has already taken down most of the Viacom clips, showing that Viacom does not look through the channel well. They could also be taking you and your family out of your homes, as they promised to sue you and your family up to $15,000 per clip, enough to severely damage a family's income. On top of that, MTV no longer does music on a regular bases and Nick shows have not been well received by it's earlier fans, not ot mention it is called an Kids MTV. On top of that, parents have been outraged by Viacom's toys, saying that they are sexually explicit for kids. Sooner or later, Viacom is going to lose in the future, given that they don't get their acts together and start listening to their fanbase.
Please note that these are not my opinions on them, but just my opinions on why I think they are so critically hated. For example, I absolutely love Nintendo.
If you wish to add anything, please do. I'll accept it as long you follow those three rules.
This thread is going to get interesting.
BTW, you can mention any company you think warrants this title, not just ones from above.
