Craig for sure though "My face is tired" also.

[R6Rider]

Many E3 moments come to mind.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I thought this was gonna be about funny moments that happen in-game, not the zeitgeist around the medium

Yeah disappointing. The stuff in the op isn't that funny tbh.

 

[Willbuster]

This one always comes to mind

 

[Generic]

The whole outrage over Diablo Immortal and then the game became extremely successful.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Yeah disappointing. The stuff in the op isn't that funny tbh.

Make a thread for that topic, then. I'll post in it. No hate, sorry you got clickbaited, but that IS a good thread idea, too.

Has to be Concord, all that massive amount of money spent and barely anyone played it, lol

It's been a couple of years since I made a similar topic, so....what do you guys think? Lots of absurd and hilarious things have been happening in our gaming culture of late, from console wars, culture wars, Gamergate/2.0, tone deaf devs, lawsuits, fake games, etc.

So I ask GAF: What was the funniest car crash you've seen on the Gaming freeway in the last fifteen years?

How did the infamous Xbox One announcement and backlash not make this list? Forcing a connect, focusing almost entirely on the media aspect of the console instead of video games, and then threatening always online DRM. The Xbox One was the catalyst that caused Microsoft to spiral out of control and go third-party.

Yeah, I know there were a few bigger ones I missed, my bad, haha. Could also probably include Stadia in the list of lulzworthy shit. I'm getting old, my dudes.

It was 16 years ago, but still the GOAT:

100% this. Couldn't stop laughing then. Still today, 16 years later, I see it and burst out laughing.

 

[diffusionx]

I think of a lot of these as more tragic than comic.

But the G4 thing with the meltdowns from sessler and frosk is hilarious

 

[SamFo]

Aaron Greenberg saying "Hi-Fi RUSH was a break out hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations. We couldn't be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered with this surprise release."

The fact that they then shut the studio shortly after.

Aaron Greenberg is just the perfect embodiment of Xbox.

Horrible, Bloated, says one thing - means the opposite, inexplicably still around.

Oh yeah, was also pretty funny when Fortnite made a Martin Luther King experience level and disabled all emotes but accidentally left the whip emote enabled.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Nothing can beat Concord. Just look at this shit.

$400 million flushed down the toilet because nobody had the balls to tell them that gamers didn't want this.

 

[Pejo]

Man I forgot about this one. I started laughing almost immediately when the twitter guy censored the word "heck".

The comedic timing in the VA's paragraph for the "There were no diversity consultants on this project." is priceless.

 

[ahtlas7]

Technically a month and a half outside of the established time frame, but the Konami E3 2010 conference should still count.

Damn, beat me to it. Haha!

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Tbh I can't really laugh about shit like concord, so I voted for Craig. Things like Shadows, Veilguard and Concord are more depressing to me than anything. So much money, talent and time wasted.
