Oh no, a game that actually raises the standard of what people expect from video games. It's almost as if several years of shitty, shady and downright corrupt practices (e.g "DLC" that is just content severed from the base game and hidden behind a paywall, Day 1 DLC and patches, free-to-play games, lootboxes and gacha etc) have completely desensitized gamers and have caused them to forget that video game actually used to be a complete, finished experience a decade ago.

… rush jobs… always terrible… unless terrible is intention…

… corporate greed… oftentimes a part of it…

…

We need to get rid of the corporate monkeys that harbour such voracious greed.

No company would intentionally set out to make a terrible game, but unfortunately some games do turn out badly due to their developers being overworked and underpaid, crunch time being enforced in order to meet release dates and other problems that exist because AAA games cost money to develop and market, and if those games don't make enough money, then it's ensured that the game will be shelved due to lack of demand (real or perceived).

Of course CEOs only want money now and they want it fast. So they'd rather force developers to work long hours with little or no pay, add in features such as gacha, free-to-play, on disc DLC etc to make more short term profits off the game and to have the game done by a deadline, regardless if that deadline can be realistically achieved or not.

Then when the game doesn't make enough profit, the CEOs would rather blame employees than accept that the game flopped due to their unrealistic demands and poor working conditions, ensuring that the developers wouldn't have time to iron out potentially debilitating bugs or force them to add in Day 1 patches or create updates to add features that should've been in the base game.

And at least developers today can improve their base game instead of either accepting that the game is done and they can't go back and fix it or have to devote more time to create an updated version of their game which could happen months or years after the initial release.

Key word being "no company".
I mean.
It's completely possible a fan or someone with too much free time on their hands (*cough*Cibryll*cough*) to want to deliberately make something terrible.

Especially for April Fool's Day. >:3

And even more fun if it's actually NOT terrible and only advertised as such to mess around~

* explodes from the sheer atrocity of ideas building up inside my tiny little cat-shaped brain *

Some people make deliberately crappy media because it's funnier that way or because it's a parody of the original work. That and I'm sure that any company making intentionally bad products would probably be some elaborate money laundering scam or a group of con artists.

Oh fok

Oh, it's **** Denuvo. Modding communities aren't too fond of it, such as the Sonic Mania modders just to name one example.

… now on Switch…

It's not the first time companies have tried to punish people for piracy (e.g the constant firmware updates for the Nintendo 3DS to stop 3DS hackers), and it's likely that Switch hackers will end up cracking Denuvo, causing Nintendo to roll out updates to the Nintendo Switch to counter them.

You have got to be kidding me.

Unity introducing new fee attached to game installs?!

* watches people abandoning ships *

This apparently also includes demo releases and pirate installs.

Like. Seriously.
Madness.
