SOE is by far the worst MMO manager in the business, as well as the most proliferate. Their track record includes such notorious titles as the SWG NGE (which they use as an example of what NOT to do in certain development courses now), as well as their pickup and subsequent destruction of MxO, or thier fiasco with PlanetSide, or their betrayal of players in EverQuest, and the fallout of EQII, or ...
Yeah, I hate SOE. They take great games that need ironing, and rip them apart in the name of 'more consumers', somehow failing each and every time.
EA is also another one, but I dislike them more for their marketing and how they sell their crap.
Oi, let's not forget Blizzard. Those f*ckers will drive a man insane with their overmarketing. And they ruin the whole industry by setting a bar (and a trend in development) that cannot be followed with any success, but everyone seems to have to try. I hate Blizzard for the same reasons I hate WalMart, McDonalds, Starbucks and Google. There is such a thing as having 'too much.'
I hate Blizzard so much, I don't even ENVY them! ARGHH!!!
Hmm, let's not forget BioWare, for NOT making a f*cking MMO out of KOTOR or Elder Scrolls. Damn you, BioWare! Greates RPG producer on the planet!

I've had a fair trend of NCSoft, don't know what they've done wrong. I mean, their games aren't always my forte, but they are pretty laid back, and I do like free2play. I keep GW updated on my PC, and never even play the damn thing. Haven't since it went live.
What else does NCSoft manage? Theres CoX, which is the only MMO me and my wife both enjoyed playing. Tabula Rasa was a great RPG, if you can get your head out of that 'every MMO has to have PvP' garbage. Haven't played Lineage or Lineage II, and I'm told I'm missing out, but I've fiddled with Exteel (like Armored Core, to me) and Dungeon Runners (felt like a cheap version of WoW , if there is such a thing).

Although I'm going to get reamed for it, CCP, while not up there with ea or microsoft, are pretty shady for mmo developers: - Allow staff members to cheat, with no public repercussions - Actually going out of the way to ban whistle blowers - And the main thing, are active rl money traders. This puts them in such glorious company as ige, and any other gold farming buisness
They do make a good game though.

They killed the only game I loved more than EVE and for that I can never forgive them, it was like an icy spear of.. ice.. being shoved through me 
edit- and by "killed" I don't mean made bad, I literally mean they stopped it, turned it off.

1. Sony - NGE, Planes of Power, MxO, and a legion of others. 2. NCSoft - for not getting the hint that Hamidon != end-game, and that Tabula Rasa is more plain than a blank sheet of paper. 3. EA - for driving Dark Age of Camelot into the ground, and for inflicting an NGE on Warhammer. (One positive point, though, that they did it before it was released instead of after an expansion release... AKA SWG and Trials of Obi-Wan.) 4. Funcom - for Anarchy Online and Conan, and for the extreme over-zealousness of their mod staff. Woe be to you if you say anything negative about either product! (One positive point in that they have actual people that respond to petitions, not this mail-system crap.) 5. Blizzard - Come on, I'm so sick of WoW ads, it's not even funny. However, at least they have product on the shelves, unlike #1, 3, and 4 on my list.
As for an MMO on KotOR, here's what you've been waiting for. :) ---

The people who made Unreal Tournament 2003, claimed it would be an annual release (like a sports game), then discontinued the releases after Unreal Tournament 2004. Basically, UT2003 was an unfinished UT2004. Any reputable company would have released a patch, or at least a discounted upgrade; not these guys. I will never buy anything from them ever again.

I flat out refuse to play anything connected to SOE. You cant even get me to play if you pay for the subscription fee. I can not stand how they treat their customers or how they treat developers of games they buy. How this company is still considered a viable option for MMO's by both players and companys is beyond me.
I also refuse to play any sort of game that is the result of a franchise that didnt orginally begin in a game. IE games based on movies, shows, books, songs, **** and so forth. These are games that thrive on grandma's and fanactics to supply their income and are ussually of an inferior product. Grandmas because they dont know any better, and fanactics because they are so pathetic that you can give them a turd and say it came out of the heros butt and they will believe it and pay big bucks. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

1. Do you honestly expect other MMO companies havent had similar instances? The only reason you know about it is because the "whistle blower" hacked the database, blackmailed CCP, and then decided to rat them out. As for the last point? huh? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Actually, It's been a few years, so I can't recall the details, but a wow gm was caught cheating at one point. The guy was fired. As for the last point, ccp seem perfectly fine with real money trade, as long as a cut goes into your pockets. Have you ever noticed how ccp so valiantly try to fight against people selling isk for cash while subtlely saying "here, use our system for buying isk for cash, it's much safer". Given the huge mark up on gtc's compared to a credit card subscription. It'd be interesting to see how much money ccp actually make a year from real money trade

EA's easily the worst I've ever dealt with. Always squeeze every last ounce of cash they can out of everything. Plop out one game and then completely stop supporting it as soon as the next comes out.
Maybe a decent business practice, but it still makes me hate them.

In my company, there's one developper who made quite a few critical programs, and the way he coded was..non standard. Then, over the years, he corrected the bugs with so many fixes over fixes over fixes, that another developper would need litteraly years to know the code backward and forward. The programs work, more or less, but you can guess firing the original developper, even if he doesn't do his job all that well, wouldn't exactly be a good idea. And, of course, he's digging his heels any way he can where sharing knownledge is concerned.
Now about T20, what he did was wrong, sure, but maybe there's reasons why firing him would be worse than keeping him? With a code the size of Eve's, surely the developpers have specialized in specific areas. |

VIBES
The bankrupt and dead and unlamented company that created the game "Mankind"
Their game was, for its time, brillant. It pushed the limit of what was possible, and maybe a bit further,
Like Eve, it was a space game, unsharded, and you could LOSE stuff.
Sadly, far to much was client side, and very very hackable (one the many hacks, for example, was to change the clock on YOUR computer, to make stuff build faster)
Last I checked a Chinese company owned the game. They purchased it after VIBES went bankrupt.
VIBES had, by far, the worst costomer relations I have ever seen.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

Back to the subject, I name SOE and activision as bad companies besause not being able to make more than average MMOs, at best, and Failcom for it's horrible communication policy (promising the world Soon(tm) and banning anyone who dare open his mouth)
IIRC the reason T20 was not fired was that he had already been disciplined for his offence, and by Icelandic employment law, it would have been illegal for CCP to have penalised him again.
Not saying that CCP handled the affair perfectly, or even that well, but jeez, you can't expect them to break the law.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

Quote: Ubi was pretty bad, I haven't watched 'em that closely lately, but I heard they try to better themselves...
Ubi are primarily frustrating because they're just like the most obvious example of the "death of PC gaming".
They had all these slow paced sneaky tactical Clancy franchises which they've since turned into moron-em-ups for the "Bro" demographic.
They also deserve honourable mention for either loathing or being totally indifferent to their customer base.
They've got these community reps, right? The community reps ask the community what they want in a game. The community tell them. They then take this information to a bunch of soulless dead-eyed gits in suits who completely disregard this information and instead decide to make Gears of Rainbow 6: The Bro'ening - now with 50% more totally intense explosions, dude.
All of their games have gone from being "Generation Kill" or "Band of Brothers" to "Under Siege 4: Fat man chases suitcase nuke again".
Other highlights include advertising the completely different PC game using console game footage so everyone buying the PC game is completely confused and think they got gyped.
They've just turned into this laughable development-by-the-numbers machine with studios outsourced to everywhere and no real creative vision for anything.
The one exception seems to be FC2. That actually looks pretty cool. I can only assume Ubi developed it by mistake. EVE RELATED CONTENT |

Any company owned or associated with vivendi universal, or EA.
Both of those big names own probably 90%+ of the gaming industry combined.
Everything they touch becomes a big joke.

Edit: yup EA sucks

last good game blizzard made was starcraft.
blizzard is just an example of what happens when developers do not get rushed for release. All their games are polished very highly and thus are not painful to play. But they have not made an actual 'good game', since the 90s.
they are owned by vivendi by the way.
In a way vivendi plays the companies it owns against each other to try and develop internet fanboys so they can get everyone fanatically snared into their evil trap.

NCSoft NA. Korean ncsoft is fine. All the employees of NA NCSoft should be arrested and tortured to death. They spoiled a nice game. Second worst is SoE. Because of their shit game mechanics. ______________________________________________________________

Codemasters are known to crank out a shit every now and then but occasionally they redeem themselves.
However, Midway and Ubisoft Montpellier are two absolute ballbags. Atari make some DIRE games, Alone in the Dark and Driver...
Can't say I join the EA hatred, they have a few good games, they do peddle the same shit over and over but thats generally just the fault of the tards that buy it.

This.
Also, SOE. Sure, they're easy to hate. Only ever played Planetside from them for any significant length of time (Year and a half.) After they royally boned it, you think it would've prevented me from purchasing and playing Vanguard. Wrong! Epic Fail on my part.

1. Ubisoft ~ their addiction to starforce and for Rainbow 6 Vegas: 2. Vegas 2 was basically a $50 expansion.
2. SOE ~ Destroying EQ1, sucking in other potentially good mmo's like Vanguard then assigning two developers to acquired mmo's.
3. EA ~ exploiting cash cow franchises, no ingenuity.
4. Blizzard ~ for making me wait for Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. ( I WANT THEM ON MY HD NOW!!!!!!!!!111!) ... !~!!!! ---------------------------------------------
