Today I read an old article by Kotaku in which they named Bobby Kotick the most hated man in gaming. But then I started to think I myself don't think Bobby Kotick is alone in being hated infact I may think someone else is. So I decided to compile a list which is probubly missing some hated individuals. But I thought it would be interesting to see who VGChartz users deem the most hated man in gaming.

Your choices are

Uwe Boll

Uwe Boll is a hated director , hated by many gamers because he has single handedly ruined over half a dozen video game franchise movies. Most notably was his biggest failure (Financially) BloodRayne but he also ruined Postal , FarCry , House Of The Dead, Alone in the dark just to name those publically humiliated. If you have seen any of his movies you will agree that he did not give the franchises justice but is that enough to make him the most hated man in gaming?

John Riccitiello

A man who once left the most powerful game publisher (At the time) then came back to lead the company as CEO was one of the most hated men in the industry. I remember a few years before Activision became so hated and Bobby Kotick took his position John Riccitielo was one of the most hated men in the industry. He wasn't present when EAGames tried to take over UbiSoft in 05 but he came back in 2007 to take alot of heat. Is he the most hated man in gaming?

Jack Thompson

One of the most hated men in gaming is Jack Thompson, an ex attorney who has talked about gaming as a great evil. Thompson blames Columbine and pretty much any and every violent act on video games. If theirs something wrong this man will find a way to blame video games and gamers. Jack even went as far to suggest that gamers should "Go to Hell". Is his anti-gaming activisim enough to make Thompson the most hated man in gaming?

Bobby Kotick

Current CEO of the biggest third party publisher in the gaming industry. As such Kotick is universally hated for moves his company makes. Moves such as cutting Inifinity Ward founders out of their royalties or milking too many franchises or merging with Blizzard. Bobby Kotick was named the most hated man in gaming by Kotaku, do you agree?

Michael Pachter

Michael Pachter is pretty much the lead video game analyst for Wedbush Morgan. He tells investors and the world which games are going to be a hit and which ones aren't. Pachter sways millions of dollars daily following his intellectual insight. He is so famous that he has his own show on GameTrailers.com and has a cult following. However Mr.Pachter has angered many gamers by doom and glooming their consoles of choice. Mainly Nintendo fans hate Pachter as he's always said the Wii would fail, WiiHD is on the way, 3DS could fail. But not only Nintendo fans hate Mr.Pachter but many Kinect and Move fans do too. Is this enough to make him the most hated man in gaming?

 

After having a careful look at all of the individuals above, who do you name the most hated man in gamingSo why did you choose who you chose, what makes him worse then the others on the list?
