You know you've made it when your comments go from "man why isn't this guy more popular?!" Or "Seer your videos are amazing and you are popping off!" To just casual comments about the video and potential conversation. Hats off to you Seer, I started watching your first videos quite a bit ago and I'm glad to see you're still making more. Keep up the good work and keep making things for me to watch!
Thank you! I really am humbled by any and all engagement, and I'm always excited to improve, try new things, and produce something that people find fun.
@@seer6251 it shows, vids are good. If you dont pop off just don‘t burn out because your vids are lovely😄. Tho i hope youtube has the decency to push your sub count, it is quality stuff.
@@TwizzElishus Good riddance? They were the single best developer in the world up until Activision. Starcraft 1 and 2, Warcraft 1,2 and 3, Wow Classic, Diablo 1 and 2 were the peak of gaming.
I'm surprised Bobby couldn't take carry the team to the shit crown all on his own. If this was a "scummiest CEO" tournament it would have come down to him vs Randy Pitchford.
I love the originality of your videos man. There's probably a million "Which game company is most evil" top ten videos out there, but pitting them in a tag-team tournament bracket is genius. Would love to see this format return, with the one suggestion of seeding the brackets and maybe balancing out the teams a bit instead of going full random.
I'm absolutely impressed by you, Mr Seer ❤️ You have very original ideas, made more original in their execution, you're witty, smart, funny and awesome with words... I hope you go far ❤️
Love the video Seer! I used one of your quotes for the summon necro in my No Gear Uber Summon Necro run! Your video production is getting better with each video! Im shocked Kotick didnt carry Activision to victory as he would be the only CEO to leave a voicemail for one of his employee's saying he would kill them...with his PR rep saying, "yeah he said it...but didnt mean it. It was taken out of context."
Who's the worst? Beats me. The gaming industry as a whole has become one giant shitfest. My rule of thumb: the bigger they are, the more skeletons are piled up in their stinking basement. The indi part of the industry is more promising, but you never know what you get in the end. We got plenty of indi abandonware and games that got patched to shit after all. Time to watch the actual video. xD
My rule of thumb is to wait till an indie game gets a "workshop update" on Steam because usually by that point you know the game is gonna at least be worth your money.
@@Evarakeus Make it 99%. That's roughly the % of indi games on steam that never make it. And the remaining 1% are a wild mix made out of mediocre games and some true gems. The later being the one thing that keeps the indi side of things alive and well recieved. The sheer amount of indi games makes sure that those few gems can actually compete with AAA gaming. Not in terms of revenue (that's a pipedream), but in terms of playtime. Plenty of players spend most of their time with indi games that focus on being good games first, and revenue maybe later. EA and co wouldn't even think about making games like Stardew Valley, Factorio, Cuphead, Binding of Issac, Don't Starve, Hades, Among Us, Shovel Knight, Papers Please, etc. Indi games can't compete with open world games made by Ubishit, or Sports games made by EA. Well, at least in terms of scope/budget. But indi games can in fact make for a real good time. Without pre-ordering DLC infested, season-pass plagued, "surprise mechanic"-filled 70$ greedfests. Oh, and apparently good games can be made without higher ups that can't keep their hands of females and kids.
@@Blernster I'm not. I simply don't trust games based on their "branding" anymore. On the other hand if i want to buy a game and it has good user reviews AND appears like it's legit fun => i buy it. In short i don't buy hype, i buy already released games that have proven to their community that they deserve my money.
I guessed the winner beforehand. Did I win anything for this? Like a 10$ stuff pack or some other worthless shit? Ross Scott ( Accursed Farms) made a video about bad video game development practices, where he mentioned how they snatched the code for 'John Madden Football' while never paying the developers. There is a reason why they always win. Great video Seer!
Awesome video as always Seer! I agree with everything except kinda for Microsoft winning so much. XBL apart, as a publisher they seem to be pretty hands-off when it comes to messing the content of the games. And I remember that they dont have the habit of abandoning the games, they seem to support them with patches and whatnot.
Thank you! I feel like Microsoft has done a multitude of things over the years that are 5% scummy, and they've just built up a reputation in my mind. During my research I couldn't find a ton of dirt, and nothing crazy bad, so I do agree with you. I must admit, I was surprised there was no really bad event they took part in lol.
Been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. After this masterpiece, I had to subscribe - and I don’t follow many channels. Keep it coming, you’re gonna go big!
Really glad you made this, I had zynga picked as a winner (loser) when you put the poll out as it's ruined the lives of "old people" much like casinos. But you're justified for sure in your pick. This will be my link to send when referencing the horrors of the gaming industry. Well done.
I'm very much not surprised by the winning team, and I'm wondering if there was even just one combination of companies that could have beat EA alone. I would feel vindicated if not for the fact everybody already hates their stinking guts, as I've never forgiven them for killing Pandemic. I feel this list is actually measureably smaller because of EA. They killed so many studios that I can't help but feel they cut some people out before they could even do anything to become hated. That's dedication to being the worst.
Thank you! I was worried there would be too much redundancy with the editing, and I was trying to determine how to make it as accessible as possible. I'm glad you enjoyed!
22:22 actually GF only has 33% of the Pokemon license (the amalgamation is called The Pokemon Company), the other third obviously being nintendy, and remaining 33% a company called Creatures. It's a weird thing, but there's better explanations out there.
I was getting a little worried because I wasn't seeing as many seer videos being released. "Is he sick? Is he just burned out? Did Bobby No Dick send his goons after him? Shit, I hope my man is okay." Then I woke up to a half hour seer video and realized you've just been taking your time to make an absolute banger of a video. Great work as always, man. You're easily my favorite video game content creator because you give us something fresh and different. These aren't long winded video essays or grueling playthroughs but instead a wildly entertaining and comprehensive look at what can be so frustrating about video games. You're the witty, foul-mouthed voice for so many of us who love games but hate so much about the industry that produces them. Also, I really appreciate how you don't go down the typical Reddit neckbeard route and act like some awful gaming company's decision is a violation of our human rights. You capture the issues well, you call the bullshit out, you keep us entertained, and you make it look effortless. Honestly, your stuff is amazing. I followed you because I'm a big Diablo fan and I've stuck around because all your videos are top tier. I'll wrap it up here (sorry for the fucking essay lol) by just saying it's been a joy to watch your videos and I can't wait to see what you do next.
Insanely great video here, consider me Subbed. Was just wondering why Bandai Namco wasn't included in this list considering it also had a lot of big Japanese developers in it. Were they simply just not considered big enough players, or could you not find a lot to talk about them? They've certainly had a lot of dirt to sling even if I like a lot of their games.
Geez not seen the whole video yet but Have to say your editing is insane! Can´t even imagine how these timelines look! And I think I had it hard spending 16 hours on a let´s play, this must be 40 hours at least!!
Haha, I appreciate you knowing the pains of editing longer videos! I actually don't track the time I spend on a video very accurately, but it does end up being tedious work. I saw a few of your recent let's plays recently, and I'm impressed you can produce videos of your size and consistent editing in 16 hours!
Bruh, I just realised your picture is Tiny from clayfighter. Shits been bugging me for months, thought I recognised him but couldn't remember where from. such nostalgia wow Anyway nice video
Creative Assembly just pulled a heist on the Warhammer fans. They brainwashed everyone into supporting a pre-order bonus that actively took content out of the game to be sold as incentive. And no one even batted an eye.
Seer mate!! I forget about your channel but because I sub and set alert I never miss a video!! I love them!! Keep the good work mate. I don't usually comment videos either
This video was awesome and sad to watch. Interesting run downs of the terrible things companies have done and you kept my attention the entire time. Which is impressive because brain do dumb. Love your videos man keep em coming and ill keep watching.
Here's a fun thing about Steam: if you get banned, you get locked out of all your purchases. Doesn't help Valve get past Bobby Kotick, but it's definitely worth noting.
To be honest, seeing that the publisher of a game is EA or Activision/Blizzard makes me pass on a game more often than not. Just remember, a company is just that; it’s the people who made those good games. If they are no longer with the company, it’s not the same company. It’s a brand, a sticker to put on a box.
Wow I really liked this one! Suprised "gamer gate" was never mentioned, but that era was so brain dead and before my conscious time I have no idea why people made up a phrase for it. Also I really like how you paired companies instead of the nomarl 1v1 because it actually made it interesting. And I have an idea for a video if you want to talk about the video game industry again: The biggest tradgey in the video game world. Basically what event had the highest peak and the highest fall (and maybe even foreshadowing)? An example could be pitting the accqusition of minecraft vs. no man's sky release. Could be fun if you want to get all shakespearean or something (because tradegy = funny talk and stabbings)
Well, I don't think there's anything that can top E.T. singlehandedly almost snuffing out the gaming industry. Damage of cataclysmic proportions that no other event can even come close to. Gigantic landfills of unsold game cartridges buried in the desert. We were THIS close to potentially not having games in general...
I let this one sit for a while as I thought it was a bit long but now that I watched it I wish I did earlier. Funny, witty, to the point and most importantly entertaining. Bit long though ;)
God, poor SEGA lmao. Probably the most consumer- friendly company when it comes to copyright stuff, at least when it comes to Sonic, and then gets stuck with fucking EA lmfao.
Even though I'm a Nintendo fan but I am a respectful one I will agree with this video. While Nintendo did have its fair share of problems in the past and last year but on the bright side I'm just glad they're still family friendly and trying their best to get on top of it again. I mean they're not the best company but they're still a good company. Despite everything you've done in the past they're still pretty good. But the one thing I didn't like during the hate against them was people using Iwata's death as a weapon against the entire corporation in a disgusting and disturbing way that definitely disturbed a bunch of innocent people online. On the bright side though I'm just glad things are going back to normal with Nintendo slowly.
Yeah no doubt! I really love Nintendo, but their legal department is weighing down their good name. I really respect that they have favorable reviews from employees, and haven't been embroiled in controversies with sexual harassment or anything. The Japanese work culture crunch affects everyone, so it's not something I'd say Nintendo is doing bad for. Plus I feel mainline Nintendo games are truly still full of passion and creativity, so in most ways I like them. Wish they'd stop crushing poor modders though lol.
Well, that's to be expected with any art. Remember Disney? Prior to the 1990's, they focused on making art pieces and the like. After Bob Igor took over, they began losing what made Disney Disney, and focused on money making. He did raise profits and expand the company, however that method of forcing art only lasts so long. Thus their current situation of no new IP's to drum up interest and their inability to create their old bread and butter, musicals, leads to the company stagnating. Long gone is the company that made "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," and now we see a company desperately creating re-runs and re-imaginings.
I still think Blizzard is worse considering the recent scandal. (Having to do with the Female employee that committed suicide, or the Females who have left Blizzards employment due to a mixture of Sexual Harassment, Sexual Abuse, And/Or at the very least Unfair Treatment of Female employees due to Rampant Sexism... Which apparently also has something to do with Bobby NoDick).
I had to stop watching to say what an awesome video production this is, informative and very entertaining Imma get more coffee and continue watching this puppy Have a good one sir
I recently bought Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Steam and then downloaded and installed it. Keep in mind, I know nothing about these games other than they're on sale and my friend really likes them. Press the play button and a box pops up telling me I have to download and install EA's app. _Immediately_ got a refund and vowed to always check the publisher from now on.
My vote still goes to Epic. EA while bad has done some good. They went back to Steam, added achievements to old games, and offered EA Play on Steam for $5/mo or $30/yr. EA Play is also included free in GamePass. The EA Play games usually have all DLC included meaning you really don't have to spend more than that sub fee.
Grinding gear games would probably be the best gaming company out there, but was acquired by tencent in 2018. They still have a great record though, and only one game currently, but their business model and communication with the Poe fanbase is bar none.
I totally considered including them, but yeah I felt like it all fell to Tencent sucking. And Tencent wasn't included because they're not really a game company. I didn't really like parent companies, so I limited how much I wanted to include them.
Ubisoft did make Rayman Origin and Legends. Which is close to the only good thing I can say about them over 20 years, but... For all the wrong that is going on around them, these two games are real gems. And considering how competitive the platformer scene is... saying they are the best is really something. I mean, sure. I like stuff like Hollow Knight better. But Hollow Knight is niche. These two Rayman are universally good.

Plus I feel mainline Nintendo games are truly still full of passion and creativity, so in most ways I like them. Wish they'd stop crushing poor modders though lol.

Well, that's to be expected with any art.
Remember Disney? Prior to the 1990's, they focused on making art pieces and the like. After Bob Igor took over, they began losing what made Disney Disney, and focused on money making. He did raise profits and expand the company, however that method of forcing art only lasts so long. Thus their current situation of no new IP's to drum up interest and their inability to create their old bread and butter, musicals, leads to the company stagnating.
Long gone is the company that made "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," and now we see a company desperately creating re-runs and re-imaginings.
I guess it doesn't matter who wins, we all lose.
The epic Dragonborn music as you’re thrashing Bethesda 🤣 🤣 🐉 🐉 yo I’m dead 💀
I find myself pretty much agreeing with the reasoning and conclusion here, good stuff!
Still wrong about the oculus though
a gubble reference! I had the gubble demo in my 100 Great Games for Windows 95 cd
it was one of the best games on there
Quality content, came here for some Diablo 2 memes stayed for the rapid-fire witticisms
I still think Blizzard is worse considering the recent scandal. (Having to do with the Female employee that committed suicide, or the Females who have left Blizzards employment due to a mixture of Sexual Harassment, Sexual Abuse, And/Or at the very least Unfair Treatment of Female employees due to Rampant Sexism... Which apparently also has something to do with Bobby NoDick).
"No authority to bitch about anything-man" 😂
i see that sub count rising good vid Seer
I had to stop watching to say what an awesome video production this is, informative and very entertaining
Imma get more coffee and continue watching this puppy
Have a good one sir
"Makes me soft" 🤣 Thanks I'm going to use that from now on.
great tournament dude, even if the results were pretty clear, shame on them all :D
10:10 "can't really find anything Id has done bad"
Yikes, that didn't age well 😆🤣
What EA did to Westwood Studios and pretty much killing off the RTS genre guarantees the #1 spot.
I thought for sure Lionhead Studios would make it into the list, but I guess defunct companies are disqualified.

Another fun and great video! Actiblizz probably should win but their sins just hurt more to me. Keep up the great work!!
No surprise mechanics here, just another great video
I recently bought Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Steam and then downloaded and installed it. Keep in mind, I know nothing about these games other than they're on sale and my friend really likes them. Press the play button and a box pops up telling me I have to download and install EA's app. _Immediately_ got a refund and vowed to always check the publisher from now on.
My vote still goes to Epic. EA while bad has done some good. They went back to Steam, added achievements to old games, and offered EA Play on Steam for $5/mo or $30/yr. EA Play is also included free in GamePass. The EA Play games usually have all DLC included meaning you really don't have to spend more than that sub fee.
Slayin it, keep doing you
And the winner is: Activision Patents Matchmaking That Encourages Players To Buy Microtransactions
Interplay, there's a name I have not heard in a long while. A lot of [not good] Star Trek games had that company name on the box.
absolute banger my man
i checked today if there is new video. now we are talking
Ayo seer, when is another part of "What is the best class in TF2" coming out?
Hey, it should be out by Friday or Saturday of this week!
I love this video but am still waiting and stoked for TF2 scout
The only thing that could have made this video better is if namco bandai was in it. I'm surprised they slid by this video unscathed
Grinding gear games would probably be the best gaming company out there, but was acquired by tencent in 2018. They still have a great record though, and only one game currently, but their business model and communication with the Poe fanbase is bar none.
I totally considered including them, but yeah I felt like it all fell to Tencent sucking. And Tencent wasn't included because they're not really a game company. I didn't really like parent companies, so I limited how much I wanted to include them.
Ubisoft did make Rayman Origin and Legends. Which is close to the only good thing I can say about them over 20 years, but...
For all the wrong that is going on around them, these two games are real gems. And considering how competitive the platformer scene is... saying they are the best is really something.
I mean, sure. I like stuff like Hollow Knight better. But Hollow Knight is niche. These two Rayman are universally good.
Oh god that music don't make me install Maplestory again no
Good news, the Activision Blizzard CEO is officially stepping down on December 29th 2023!
