Which company disappoints their fans most often?

I'd say Nintendo, because, rather than lowering their standards and pleasing fans with designs that are hot at the time, they just go for "timeless classic" instead.
 
Nintendo?
Don't get me wrong. They're doing a gret job game quality wise. But sometimes you can't understand their decisions.
Recent example? No n3ds in the u.s.
 
Valve, every single time someone asks about Half-Life 3.

It's like they don't even have to try. If they fart, we get excited about HL3 and dissapoint ourselves... Speaking of which....


It's been a while since our last HL3 thread, Silence indicate the calm before the storm? OMG. OMG. It's happening!@
 
343. Halo 4 dissapointed. Halo MCC dissapointed. Halo nightfall dissapointed. And for me Halo 5 beta dissapointed.
 
It's definitely Square Enix. They've been disappointing their fans for over a decade... far longer than Capcom.

Capcom at the beginning of last generation was extremely fan focused (Megaman 9, Street Fighter IV, etc), but Square was already breaking hearts back then.
 
Others have mentioned 343 but I think you have to be a fan at one point to be disappointed.

I would say Sega has disappointed me and their fan base, Phantasy Star Online 2 being a prime example of that disappointment.
 
Probably SE and Capcom.

343 have FUCKED up but they also took over the reigns on something else, so it's different in that regard.
 
Definiely SE last gen. But this gen, Ubisoft? I'm not a Ubi fan but I assume they would with the way they've handled their issues recently

Square Enix has been working super hard to make sure not just some, but all fans of their games are super disappointed every day. They deserve recognition.
 
came into the thread and expected microsoft? I sometimes think that Capcom gets some undeserved negativity, they have given us Megaman 9, 10 streetfighter and attempts were made to make RE6 a good game (though they failed) Now with RE:Remake maybe it will turn? I hope course of onimusha and megaman 11 (in the same style). Personally, I am most disappointed with SEGA. Why they gave us a good sonic game (generation) and then just crapped out a typical disaster with Sonic Boom? (actually found the sonic world was ok)
 
Nintendo. For the most part, the games they pump out are good, but that company has had the lousiest direction business-wise.
