10 Big Industry Gaffs Gaming Companies Want You To Forget

4. Mortal Kombat & Batman: Arkham Knight Ship Broken On PC (Warner Bros.)

Warner Bros. really didn't seem to have a good relationship with the PC this year, what with its disastrous releases for Mortal Kombat X and Batman: Arkham Knight not doing anything good for the publisher's reputation. Even if the titles in question were decent games, both their PC releases just completely dropped the ball. MK X suffered numerous technical issues, as did Arkham Knight, which is still fairly unplayable on a lot of set-ups 7 months after its initial release. This led to Rocksteady and Warner Bros. offering a refund for players effected by the release, but months of failed patches had already done the job of disillusioning dozens of customers with the company. As WB inevitably gears up for their 2016 slate, one can only hope that they hold the PC in higher regard - lest we see another repeat of last year's disasters.

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.
