A totally legitimate thread to assess who the codex thinks is the worst RPG developer currently working in the game industry. Just a typical thread for totally subjective opinions.

I had to read it twice, because the first time I read "Cleve Blakemore", who also happens to be the shittiest developer ever... damn, perhaps I shouldn't call him a developer. Rather a crook with his fraudulent advertising and bogus game.

The worst developer is God, he made this insolent race called humans. They spend all day writing their stupid bullshit opinions on things called forums. The game he developed is also very boring and linear, even with all the patches throughout its history. The same shit just keeps repeating over and over.

Hard choice between Gaider and Sawyer. It's like trying to pick which pile of shit is better.

Cleave would have been a good choice for the pole, but the OP specified "currently working" in the game industry.


If the pole had specified people "pretending (for the last twenty years) to be currently working in the games industry" Cleve would win hands down.

That's easy. Sawyer.


Gaider is just a writer. He can only fuck up some of the dialogue. Josh can (and did) fuck up all of a games systems and mechanics. He's far more dangerous.

They both need to be put on a leash imo. Have someone oversee the project and take the good ideas from them and throw the rubbish ones in the bin.

I'm intrigued someone on the codex made this list without including either Blakemore, Mollyneaux or Cain (SP? for all). Let alone the myriad of 'smaller' 'named' devs like Fogel, Vinke, Vince etc etc. I've spent more time trying to figure out AO's agenda/angle that trying to make any rational choice from the names provided.

Levine is developing RPGs now?

Is this part of the "prank?"

The worst developer is Allah


Out of the examples provided, I'm going with Ken Levine, I really hate him and how they inflate his relevance.
