Konami for asshole, EA for the worst with Ubisoft following quite close. So overall Konami with the words used in the question.



Not just one but a multitude of other publishers. I hate or rather dislike Activision for how they treat their devs, High Moon Studios slipped up with Deadpool and since then they haven't worked on anything big let alone another Transformers game, miss those guys.

EA simply for giving us a Battlefront that's pretty casual as you can get but the fact they don't even give you a server browser on PC boggles my mind and it's effectively one of the main reasons why the userbase for that game on PC is dying. Also I dislike their season pass and DLC plans they keep throwing out.

Konami for treating their staff like shit, fucking around with Kojima and consumers in general, people who are willing to pay for premium games and get fed crap, MGSV was supposed to be amazing but instead it wasn't even properly finished and the online game delayed for PC along with micro trans being tacked on and operating on P2P rather than dedicated.

Ubisoft for throwing out the same damn game and concept nearly every single year or two. Not doing good enough port jobs and still wishing to force Uplay despite the fact the other clients don't do what they do which is to sell their games on another client app while also requiring you use their own, none of the other clients do this as far as I know and it;s bullshit double layered DRM.

Warner Brother. Not much needs to be said but they have easily become the most hated of publishers out there in the eyes of PC gamers with what they have and haven't done along with them trying to completely wash their hands of their own self created mess and expecting everyone to forgive and forget about it the following week. Out of all the publishers, WB takes the cake for being arrogant and refusing to budge, the others take time and sort out atr least one area or two of their structure or mistakes, WB hasn't fixed zip.

At the end of the day EA for me is the one I don't hate the most, their customer service, on the house program and improvement of their client has kept them from being the worst out of the bunch, that goes to WB but I digress. All in all I don't support those who pull crap like WB by not buying their games (games they own and meddle with entirely) or ones that do bad port jobs (like Activision for Blops III) and even clients that try to do double DRM (like Ubisoft).

Nintendo for sure. Holding the industry back with their army of nostalgic induced blind devout  fans.

Konami because they broke my heart.

Square-Enix. What great IPs they did have, have been greatly mismanaged (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts). Don't really care about any of the developers in the poll besides Capcom.

How is Nintendo holding the industry back exactly?

EA used to be bad, but eventually they withdrew from Nintendo systems and took their insulting PR with them. It's hard to hate them when their publishing work on Nintendo systems has finally reached an acceptable level of quality.

Therefore my pick is Atlus. The DLC cancer is infesting their games. While Etrian Mystery Dungeon at least offered all of its DLC quests for free to early adopters, the same doesn't hold true for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold. A damn shame. Persona Q was even worse.

Can you explain why their DLC is bad? 

Because they are charging money for short quests or characters. What you get doesn't justify the price.

hmmm makes sense.

Microsoft. Not because of their publishing necessarily, but because I hate the online MP focus they've turned the industry towards and for their pushing of Halo which has made regen health and 2 weapon limits preeminent in modern shooters. 2 of my biggest pet peeves in gaming are lack of slitscreen and story focus and no health packs and weapon wheels in shooters anymore (one of the main reasons Resistance 3 is the best shooter ever is it is modern with all the best parts of old thrown in)


You can't really blame Microsoft for any of that. It isn't their fault other developers followed their shitty game design decisions. If you're a developer and cannot understand why regenerating health is a terrible game design decision of your own accord, that's your fault and your fault alone.

they continue to support it with Halo and Gears at least





I am Iron Man

Everyone tries to maximize profits, and consumers do vote with their wallets, so for that I don't hate any publisher.


How Konami treated Kojima wasn't good, so maybe they aren't exactly my favorite now.
