10 Big Industry Gaffs Gaming Companies Want You To Forget

2. Assassin's Creed Unity Ships Completely Broken (Ubisoft)

We've already harped on about why Unity's buggy release is both hilarious and completely disrespectful as a whole, but the entire affair that arose from it is simply too important to forget just yet. A victim to the Creed's annual development cycle, Unity shipped with a notoriously buggy base game. Many glitches and errors were rectified and amended with patches and updates, but the damage had been done the moment Ubi had allowed Unity to ship with the knowledge of its unplayable state well and truly there. The damage caused by Unity is still sending reverberations throughout the entire AC franchise, as it looks as though it will finally be rebooting and moving away from yearly releases in the near future.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
