10 Video Game Blunders We'll NEVER Forget

10. The Dead Don't Advertise

Hey, remember Acclaim?

The once-proud company that spawned from ex-Activision staff that had a slew of hits back in the day, including ports of Mortal Kombat, several WWE games, as well as licenses for many popular franchises. Whatever happened to them...?

Oh yeah, they released shockers like BMX XXX and subsequently got sued by Dave Mirra.

And tried to get parents to name their newborn kids Turok... but that's not the worst of it.

No, trying to market Shadowman 2nd Coming by advertising on actual headstones of actually dead people has to be the worst one. That is literally exploiting the dearly departed for profit, as well as offending the families of those in the process.

For one, it was just offensively gross. Second, could you imagine going to a graveyard, or chapel of rest or similar, and seeing an advert for a video game whilst you're there to pay respects?

Thankfully, the whole notion was vetoed before any damage could be done. To headstones, I mean. As for Acclaim, well, the rest is history and that's where they're relegated to now.
