the [email protected] 2023 award: the most impressive "F.U." moment gaming company delivered to the PC (or general) gaming community

I’d add to the list : Devs and publishers doubling down on releasing shitty PC ports that lead enthusiasts thinking that a 24GB VRAM GPU is the standard.

The whole industry setting launch prices at $70.

I don’t really think that something being a console exclusive is an “F.U.”, unless they claimed that they would support certain OSs/systems and then backed down.

Unity being unity is a contender for monetary reasons.
Starfield is a contender for Bethesda continuing to push out broken/unfinished games.
The Day before for just being a scam.
The many jobs cuts in the gaming field
All of the anti-cheat software that still makes games actively worse and bans people on Linux.

Bethesda releasing shit tier games and expecting free labor to fix them for them…

Unity burning up all their goodwill over a weekend announcing new predatory, retroactive pricing changes that would bankrupt many smaller players in the mobile space?

This is probably the real biggest one. Even if they walked back on it, it came close to crippling the games industry being that unity is absolutely the number one engine for indie games.

Bethesda customer support trying to convince the unhappy players leaving bad Steam reviews that the game isn’t that bad.
