[casual_games] On a lighter note...

Your game is so bad that it had more chargebacks than conversions.

Your game jokes were so bad that even Nick Fortugno didn't giggle.

Being on the very last panel of Casuality, I worked with various developers to identify some humorous signs that “your game is bad,” incorporating themes from the Casuality conference itself. Since there was nearly nobody in the audience for the last panel, I figured that I would share the “insights:”

 

The Top 10 signs that your game is bad… 

 

10. the focus group returned their pay

9. your mom refused to play test it 

8. you made an online version first

7. your publisher released it as open source

6. the first localization was in Latin

5. it went right to a bundled subscription service

4. the embedded ad got more play

3. the mobile version was ported to 1 handset

2. the royalties resembled micropayments

1. nobody even cloned it

 

I foresee a long tradition of casual game jokes starting with “my game was so bad that…” Please feel free to send along a few “my game is so bad” jokes. I will compile a list. 

 

For the record, another popular joke series was the “our industry is so small that we could triple the size by buying our own games.”
