  • Be sure to sound off in the comments below now on to the top 10, Number 10 Joy Con Drift attached the Joy con controllers and you can play anywhere.

  • Joy Con Drift has been causing problems for switch owners.

  • Almost a long is the console has been available, but it became a much bigger problem for Nintendo.

  • In 2020 multiple class action lawsuits have now been filed against the company, the newest being in Seattle in November.

  • This latest lawsuit alleges Nintendo isn't properly informing customers of the problem nor doing anything to fix it as it still occurs in newer models of the switch and switch light.

  • Nintendo stated in October that the Joy Con Drift quote isn't a real problem.

  • Right before another suit was filed in California.

  • Nintendo offers free repairs, at least for the first pair of joy cons.

  • But many still experience the issue several months after getting them back.

  • Joy Con offers more than just traditional video game controls.

  • It invites everyone to a new world of entertainment.

  • Number nine Crunch, a small but important disclaimer the game player about to see is from a work in progress version of the game.

  • Everything you see is potentially subject to change.

  • Crunch has been an issue before, but 2020 is when it really came into the public eye.

  • In July, a glass door review appeared from a respond employees stating they experienced burnout, stress and extreme anxiety while working on Apex.

  • Legends director Chad Grenier has since stated they refused to crunch despite slow updates due to the pandemic.

  • But other developers haven't been as helpful.

  • In March, Kotaku uncovered the widespread crunch culture of naughty dog.

  • Employees would often work 12 hour days or longer, citing a feeling of obligation and the studios built in atmosphere.

  • Most recently, it was CD Project Red.

  • After promising to avoid forced overtime, it mandated six day work weeks before delaying the game without many of the team knowing until the world did we finish the job.

  • But our story is just beginning.

  • Number eight, the Invader v controversy, and it doesn't matter how broke you are.

  • If you have timeto watch twitch, you have you have $10.

  • Truly.

  • Not that long ago, the idea of getting paid to play video games was a wild fantasy with twitch and other platforms.

  • It no longer is, but there are some streamers who feel they deserve mawr.

  • In April, Invader V came under fire for asking viewers to pay her channels full subscription fee 5 to $10 She stated.

  • Anyone watching twitch should have $10.

  • And if they didn't, it was because they were irresponsible with money and should be working anyway.

  • What you mean to say is I'm so irresponsible with my money.

  • I can't support the entertainment that I enjoy.

  • That's a lot easier said than done, considering this was the onset of a global pandemic where people lost their jobs.

  • When this was pointed out, she doubled down on her comments.

  • Well, she did eventually apologize.

  • Her statements were nonetheless incredibly entitled because what I said wasn't a joke.

  • What I said was hurtful Number seven, the last of us.

  • Part two leaks.

  • Yeah, don't worry, we still won't spoil it here.

  • The last of us Part two was undeniably one of the most anticipated games of 2020 in April.

  • Major story in game play, elements from the game leaked online.

  • That in itself is incredibly unfortunate, But the story elements laid out without context angered many fans.

  • These included major character deaths as well as a change in playable character.

  • Halfway through the game, some fans were so upset with the story decisions that they review bombed the game on Metacritic the day of its release.

  • The game's launch was surrounded by so much vitriol that some team members received hateful messages and death threats, which is clearly unacceptable.

  • It was all just a big, awful mess, obviously.

  • Number six, PS five and Xbox, Siri's X preorders.

  • Let's suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream.

  • Getting a brand new consul under normal circumstances is usually a struggle, let alone during a pandemic.

  • Sony and Microsoft still went ahead with their release plans, but pre ordering was a nightmare.

  • In September, Sony revealed the price and release date for the PS five, but some retailers, like Wal Mart, jumped the gun on preorders.

  • Sony themselves had promised they'd give players plenty of notice before pre ordering.

  • Yet they went live on the website almost immediately after the release announcement, Microsoft fared a little better, but retailers ran out of Xbox stock soon after preorders went live.

  • Neither Sony nor Microsoft were prepared with enough systems, but with how they each hyped up their consoles as the next generation of gaming, they really should have been.

  • But now let's zoom.

  • Let's have a surprise.

  • Let's have a dream which isn't under control number five Activision Blizzard's treatment of its employees.

  • One of the interesting things about working here is our culture.

  • It's extremely passionate.

  • It's quality.

  • First Blizzard has come under fire over the last few years for various reasons, and the studio was back at it again in 2020 with poor treatment of its employees.

  • An internal survey in 2019 revealed many employees were unhappy with their compensation following budget cuts from parent company Activision.

  • Blizzard Blizzard implemented raises this year, though the majority of them were under 10%.

  • Given the payment received by higher ups like Activision, Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is $40 million salary in 2019.

  • Many were naturally upset.

  • Blizzard didn't look any better when it closed the French office in October.

  • And since Brexit and lock down complicated original plans to move the office toe, London Blizzard instead laid off 285 employees in the midst of a global pandemic.

  • There's sort of this magic that exists in blizzard pride and us being together as a group and making the things that we make and taking on the challenges of being blizzard together that really have made us who we are.

  • Number four Halo Infinite development struggles.

  • No, it's no you.

  • I can't stand these.

  • You are free.

  • The no, you don't get to tell me.

  • Oh, latest entry in Microsoft's flagship franchise has seen a lot of problems behind the scenes this year, especially footage shown during a July showcase was criticized for lackluster graphics, and it resulted in a widespread meme of one of the game's enemies.

  • Soon after, Microsoft delayed the game to an unspecified 2021 released a Taking Away the biggest title for its upcoming console.

  • While the footages backlash was likely, one of the reasons the lock down on the fact that 343 industries have heavily outsourced to external developers also played roles.

  • Adding to the uncertainty was director Chris Lee's departure in October, joining other high profile employees like lead producer Amy Olsen, who have left since development began.

  • We're still excited, but very concerned.

  • Your people are broken, skirt haunted, defeated by me.

  • Number three E.

  • Fans Review bombed the title on Metacritic, earning the lowest ever user score of 0.2 and got hashtag NFL drop EA to trend on social media.

  • Then there was FIFA 21.

  • Not only did it not add much new, but the switch version was so insultingly similar to FIFA 20 that I g n re published its review and gave the new game a two out of 10 NHL.

  • 21 wasn't nearly as criticized, but still Onley implemented minor updates.

  • E.

  • A hasn't been popular for a while, and these decisions make it easy to see why.

  • Welcome to man 21 get ready to go all out Starting on August 28th, number two mixers closure.
