The most hateful things said by game devs and industry personalities

Their words, not ours

The most outspoken game developers and industry figures are only human--and like all humans, they occasionally err. In the heat of the moment, people can tend to lash out, maybe make some statements they wish they could take back. Once the moments passed, some might regret a harsh choice of words or misplaced aggression directed at adoring fans. But when you say something you probably shouldnt have said, there's really no going back to the way things were.

"The Wii is a piece of shit! ...[Nintendo, please] make a console that doesn't suck ass."

"9$ for a game like FEZ is a STEAL. i should be charging you 90$ you fucking ingrates."

"Fuck that loser."

"Do you eat shit?"

"REPEAT: DON'T WHINE ABOUT CAPCOM'S GAME TO ME. AS I'VE SAID 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000TIMES, I DON'T FUCKING CARE."

"FUCK OFF ALL EXCLUSIVE IDIOTS"

"It's amazing for a role playing game, because most role playing games are shit!"

"Ive met virtually no one in our industry who I think is close to as good a game designer as I am. Im not saying that because I think Im so brilliant. What Im saying is, I think most game designers really just suck, and I think theres a reason why."

"Players please, give us a chance. Judge our games based on what they are. Judge the DLC based on what it is. Stop thinking you're a producer and telling us when and where we should be building our content."

"NeoGAF and other forums like this that don't have good management are not only hurting society and hurting the videogame industry, they're in decline, and they need to reform quickly before people stop listening to them."

"If game critics were really critics, there would be a lot of discussion about Starseed Pilgrim now... instead of AC3 or Tomb Whatever."

"SO FUCKING SICK of artsy fartsy in this industry. Get fucking over yourselves bitches."

"I hope Kotaku fucking puts your ass out of business, wanna be fucktards."

"I don't think it even needs saying, but people should stay away from Tekken. Nothing left to say. I just don't want them to disappoint me anymore. It's so annoying. Please don't annoy me anymore."

"The one OMGPOP employee who turned down joining Zynga was the weakest one on the whole team. Selfish people make bad games. Good riddance!"

"You're an insane idiot."

"You're all a bunch of fucks. It just so happens that I get paid to treat you like it. It's fucking awesome."

"I shit your salary, bro! I wipe my ass with your salary."

"Deal with it."

"It's difficult to talk about Nintendo, because we don't look at their console as being a competitor."

"The Xbox--again, I can't come up with one word to fit. You need a word that describes something that lacks longevity."

"Our view of the Game Boy experience' is that it's a great babysitting tool--something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those."

"Nintendo knows its target audience, because it has really narrowed that down; and it's pretty much defined by a boy or girl's ability to admire Pokemon."

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity. It's called Xbox 360."

"I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing."

"I think we've definitely been able to instill in the culture the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we're in today."
