10 Largest Grossing Video Games That Are Just Soulless Cash-Cows

5. Saints Row (THQ)

When THQ first "came up" with this idea, it was supposed to be a game that would be able to compete with Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto, even though they denied that claim. But what happened was much worse. At first, people were excited about the idea of having two games that were somewhat similar but still had their individual styles. What people ended up getting after Saints Row 2 was a bunch of hogwash. The developers got this idea in their head that people enjoyed the stupid antics like bats that looked like dildos. The series' main character went from being a nobody gangster, to President of the United States in Saints Row 4, because why not, apparently. The developers milked every ounce they could, and it eventually led to their downfall, and a deceleration of bankruptcy. Unfortunately for us gamers, the IP was sold, so there will probably be more of this nonsense in the future.
