Best Announcements for the Internet Rage Machine

anemoanemo Member RarePosts: 1,903
So what are some "Imaginary" announcements that would cause outstanding and delicious rage.

For Instance some I could think of:

"Sony to buy Daybreak Studios"
"HalfLife 3 announced as VR exclusive"
"Darkfall announces PvE server"

Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

    "The next Call of Duty will be the greatest MMO ever made" when details reveal it's just a standard multiplayer shooter. 

    "Definition of MMO is finally agreed as '500+ players within the same virtual environment', turns out there have only ever been 10 MMOs and WoW isn't one of them"

    "Disney have decided renew their exclusive Star Wars license with EA, extending the license to 2050"

    "Games Workshop have granted a license for a Warhammer 40k MMO to EA"

    I want to help design and develop a PvE-focused, solo-friendly, sandpark MMO which combines crafting, monster hunting, and story.  So PM me if you are starting one.

    Maybe it would force valve to make games again...

    I already see enough to drive me batty,no need for anymore.The entire world is going to the dogs,not just gaming,everything has changed a lot in a very short time.
    I feel Trump is a huge black mark,i am not so into Trudeau anymore either,he seems to carry some dirt with him to.
    Al these governments and agencies/systems suppose to be there for the people but all they are are a leech on the taxpayers dollar.
    No more game design,give us money up front and we will see what we can do,but no promises.How did it change from YOU make the product  and i decide if it is good enough to buy/support?
    This new era of deception and dishonesty is like we ask our boss for the next 30 years in pay cheques and we will see what we can do,no promises.
    What i get sick of hearing is awards,they are almost always unjust but all the real story is hidden behind a smokescreen of bull.Award for charity,award for bringing the game back to life,award for GOTY,PC goty,console goty,fps goty,rpg goty,mmorpg goty it goes on and on nothing but a pile of marketing/pr/hype.


    What else,oh yeah more moba and Arpg threads ,lets give super cheap lazy game designs more press,they really need it.All those developers working their ass off doing a lot of hard work get no credit but these small mickey mouse PubG and POE/Diablo/Hots/LOL get all the hype.

    Someone should just create a game of marbles and give it a 10/10 and add in esport for longevity,that would really sum up gaming in a nutshell.

    Could have just gone with:
     "Trump proposes gamer registration system to combat gun violence"
     "Ubisoft announcing all future titles to be Early Access game, to satisfy new market demand"

     and hit most of your points

    Portalarium announce a Shroud of the Avatar  "blood recall", as the vials it sent out did not conform to the laws on the transport of infectious substances. Richard Garriott de Cayeux (of house Ventrue) was unavailable for comment as it was daytime when we called.

    Cloud Imperium Games announces that Star Citizen will launch when the first moon base is established then puts that back to the first base in Alpha Centauri. "You can trust me on that" said Chris Roberts.

    Epic announces they are going to reuse resources from the shut down Paragon game to form new battleground areas for Fortnite. "Paragon fans will be really pleased" said Darren Sugg.

    What would be amusing, is that any of this became a rumour on the basis of someone reading about it on the internet somewhere. :)
