Honorable mention for the companies making plasmids in the Bioshock series. Giving people the ability to shoot lightening and fire out of their hands, but with the unfortunate side effect of turning them into disfigured mutants. When those customers get angry for that, sure is a shame they now have the ability to shoot freaking fire out of their hands and get their revenge!
And then Columbia cribbed off Rapture's notes in Bioshock Infinite. "No, no, they're not plasmids from an alternate universe, they're...vigors! Yeah, that's right, vigors."
RanMouri82 cheated, but then took it to the next level. Boss: So what’s everyone got for me this week? This lighting vigor is tops! Employee: *Nervously* Well I....I have a new idea where you shoot crows at someone. Boss: Promoted.
I would say that the dumbest mistake the company in "Five Nights At Freddy's" ever made was installing security doors that require power to stay down. If anything, keeping those heavy doors in the up position should be what drains power. Oh, and running their security system on (what HAS to be) a 9 volt battery isn't all that smart, either.
If the doors stay up by springs, and stay down by hydraulics, we COULD give them points for not trapping their guards in the event of a fire... But this IS fazbears were on about...

Practically any evil Pokémon team. Don't let a guy witch a rattata, ekans, or something else that should definitely be evolved at this point in the story, be the last line of defense at your HQ. In the first place, just get some better Pokémon
Technically Team Plasma Grunts' Pokemon are weak since it's the ones that they "liberated" from the normal people on the towns that are conveniently the same level as yours during progression.
Half of the teams would destroy everything we know. Team Magma & Aqua would either create a desolate wasteland or Waterworld by waging war between Groudon and Kyogre. Team Galatic wants to play god and reshape the universe with Palkia and Dialga, which could easily backfire. Team Flare wants to intentionally cause the end of the world with Xerneas and Yvetal.
I forgive Team Rocket for this since their standard pokemon are primarily for thieving, not battling. Why Rattatas and Ekans instead of Raticate and Arbok? Because they're smaller and can fit into tighter spaces. Yondu: "Good fer thievin'"
Team Yell is a "spare time" hobby of some Spikemuth Gym staff, and their pokemon are always at or below your level. Keep in mind that they're gym *Number 7 of 8* and you always annihilate them. Y
Can I just say that in Black Flag, what you as the character is experiencing when you play and control Kenway, is not the game that they are developing. This is you going through the memories of Desmond Miles' DNA to gather inspiration and information about the past so they can make a game in which the templars are good and the assassins bad. Also it's a front to search for the oracles or whatever that guy with two different eyes is called.
Yeah, but every single AC game besides Revelations, if I'm remembering the name right, made the Templars the bad guys and the Assassins the good guys. It wasn't just Black Flag, Black Flag just continued the trend
Everything Vault Tec did was intentional they weren't bothered how the vault experiments turned out as long as something happened, they can't be held responsible for Fallout 76...
@@baneofdan Thing is, that's still stupid. Yes, the Vaults were all an elaborate conspiracy by Vault-Tec and the government to perform isolated (not controlled, because they weren't) experiments on various populations to see how they'd survive (or not) in a variety of rather contrived scenarios. And all it took was ending the whole world to get the whole thing started. So their whole plan relied on the destruction of civilization. Either because it was inevitable and they knew it, or because they caused it on purpose, themselves. Either way, instead of preserving and nurturing the last remnants of human civilization like they said they would, they subjected them to experiments which killed most of the survivors, and drove most of the rest crazy. Because when there's almost no people left, surely that's the best use of those limited resources. And what did they learn? Who even are they? Because by all accounts, they're all long dead, and didn't seem to benefit at all from whatever these experiments were supposed to reveal. And it's not like there was any profit in it, because civilization itself ended before it even began, so their money, if they ever made any, was worthless before the experiments even happened. Even the survival of mankind and the existence of non-mutated strains of humanity of use to the Enclave were incidental results of the Vault project, not part of their original purpose. Which is elusive, to say the least. It's not a stretch to say that everyone running Vault-Tec was probably insane, which explains a lot about the Fallout universe.
Vault tec looks to have been engineered as a way to usurp world power by making a new world government and military although almost all their military projects were cataclysmic failures. They had or seemed to have a unique outlet in each vault that on its own isnt too substantial but combined with others would likely make quite a complex system if it had worked out. In lamens terms a perfect world however those visions of ultimatum rarely work out.
@@nightsong81 Vault-Tec was looking to create a generation ship to colonise other worlds. They have no idea what might be out there or the situations that might occur on such a ship, so they ran experiments to see what people might do. They probably had big plans to run those experiments; the war just accelerated them.
I would include the Institute, since Father's super cool plan to experiment with your release from the cryotube ultimately resulted in his death and the total destruction of his underground evil genius lair. Moral of the story: don't release an angry parent bent on revenge.

I'm surprised literally every vampire from The Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim Dawnguard DLC wasn't on here. Their goal is to destroy the sun so they can thrive, ignoring that destroying the sun would kill all the plants, therefore killing all the herbivores, and then killing both men and mer, and any other animals, which is a long chain leafing to the demise of the vampires with nothing to feed on.
@@AlmightyPolarBear they are undead so yes case in point castle volkihar for extreme cold and for a dead sun radiation wouldn’t be a problem but as all the trees die their only other real weakness in fire doesn’t really remain an issue
Here's a not-very-well-known one: the TranStar Corporation from Prey (2017). "Let's inject liquified alien bits into our brains, through our eyes, to instantly transfer skills and intelligence, while attracting the attention of a bigger alien who wants to eat our psychic energies."
And also programming our turrets to recognize and shoot alien dna, that is now I. Us due to the whole injection thing, ending in our own turrets shooting us.
What about Faro Industries in Horizon Zero Dawn? That company made killer robots capable of self multiplying and consuming biomass as fuel and oh...what else? Ya. ENDS LIFE AS WE KNOW IT?!?!
Yup. Just... Complete idiots. Of course we have our ginger-haired protagonist to save us from Hades. By the way tip on how to destroy Thunderjaws:Shoot off the disc launcher and use it against them. So easy then.
Not even really a great statement IN context, to be honest - it's not like the Assassin's Guild was out selling girl scout cookies or rescuing satchels of puppies from the river...
@@scaredstar9127 The game intentionally keeps the lore into the Codex and doesn't waste your time with exposition in the real game. That'll probably be why - and it's a good approach for the game to take.
How can Mike not remember that beautiful quote from the Bible. Letter to the Corinthians 6: 1-6. And the Lord did say unto Doomguy, "go forth and blow all the demons to bits with loads of guns. And when thou has finished thy task, thou shalt shoot John Romero in the face."
"And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats..." Oh, wrong passage. Sorry.

Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. "

Bit honestly, What are those "portal test" for? I mean, What they were trying to achieve by making human test subjects jumping around, possibly dying in the process?

Surprised Jane didn't (again) delve into the stupidity of Cerberus from the Mass Effect games. A giant corporation that wants to control humanity and/or Reapers resurrecting a soldier that was a staunch advocate for the destruction of said Reapers? Who greenlit that idea?
Cerberus was a black ops unit within the Alliance military, highest security clearance. They went rogue in the first game and after Shepard wrecked their highly illegal projects, reemerged as a full blown terrorist group allegedly dedicated to the alleged advancement of humanity. The whole Reaper control business came after Shepard's successful mission to stop the Collectors.
@@brentage5000 Even if you sent the Shadow Broker's rep copies of the files you recovered, I believe he was right. The Alliance buried them to further distance itself from Cerberus. Humanity is on thin ice with the Council even with you as the first human Spectre.
Czerka Corp? Literally everything they do in the K1, K2, and SWTOR games? (though if I had to pick exactly one thing, waking up an ancient evil entity with the power to corrupt & take over technology and a plan to take over the universe ranks pretty high...)
Well, they are competent in K2. In K1 they seemed incompetent with the Tatooine fiasco, but they did use their foothold on the planet to build those research facilities (revealed in SWTOR), so it was not so bad. As for ancient evil entity, considering there are so many of those in SW Universe I guess they have those covered somewhere in their risk management department.
The consuming power part of the doors is weird and nonsensical, but the fact they open when the power fails is not. Those are doors that are designed to "Fail Open", presumably in that whoever is inside the office doesn't become trapped if the power fails, such as in the event of a fire. If they were "Fail Close", they'd be great against the animatronics, yeah, but otherwise whoever was inside would be trapped until power was restored which in some cases, like a fire, would be very, very bad.
@@JoshTigerheart Yeah but he's saying why go through all that trouble when you can install standard doors that don't use electricity xD. I mean make em heavy duty and add a couple deadbolts. Think of the money you'll save on electricity and having to compensate for murdered security
I feel like Peak 15 from Mass Effect 1 should be on the list as well as Exogeni. "Hey, lets resurrect the lovecraftian bug monsters that almost conquered the galaxy, what could go wrong?"
Peak 15 was owned by (or perhaps leased to, we never got to see the documentation) Binary Helix, which had one Saren Arterias and Matriarch Benezia as major shareholders. And that's why you don't upset the shareholders, Mike, some of them can flay you with their minds
@@talltroll7092 Since those people are presumably both Reaper indoctrinated, one has to wonder if the purpose of breeding Rachni was to introduce a force into the galaxy which can't be negotiated or allied with, since if there were a galactic Rachni war at the same time the Reapers showed up you'd have half the galaxy that was unable to even consider the idea of putting their differences aside to stand against their common enemy. Its probably not a huge stretch to imagine that part of that plan could even be to enslave the Rachni to the Reapers the same way they did to the Collectors.
Mobius from the evil within could also fit on this list. They implanted every single one of their employees with a chip that could kill them if they ever betrayed the corporation... which allowed the protagonists to basically destroy the entire organisation Kingsmen style.
Funny enough, all it takes is to hire a furry to stay alive. Because they can go in their own costumes and they are unaffected. It's like their dream job since they're not actively being hunted.
The karaoke machine would help if Fazbear Entertainment wanted to keep its "classic" mascots, too. If the animatronics are singing karaoke all night, they can't murder security guards!

@@mantis638 Surely, there's _someone_ running the actual pizzerias who could override Purple Guy's insistence on not letting the animatronics sing karaoke!
I mean, if they want to keep the classic animatronics, they could just build doors that can stay locked all night without somehow running out of power.
@@Clockworkman-l7r yeah that part made no sense. why would they even use doors like that? More so, why is the security system running on battery power at night?
Why not just have the security guard wear a costume.. that way they wont look like naked exoskeletons and subsequently wont be murdered.. at least that way they'd be able to have a toilet break...
You guys are wondering about all those awful semi believable companies. Meanwhile I’m just wondering who was the construction company who made all those Cathedrals and Temples in Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls 1 sure, probably dragons or something, but by the time of Dark Souls 3 there are sure a lot of Cathedrals. Who built those? Did they use the undead? And why are there so many chairs I must dodge roll into?
@@insaincaldo well the curse was brought on by Gwyn. So I'm guessing before then, there were regular people everywhere filling the rooms and stuff. When you go to anor londo, there are bedrooms there with family portraits and stuff. Beds, chairs and so on. I'm assuming people used to sit on those before their world became a wasteland.
How can you guys forget Aperture Science from Portal?! A company dedicated to science is all well and good, but if the higher ups in said company decided that building an A.I. whose sole purpose being the pursuit of science is a good thing AND NOT expect it to go rogue and kill all humans in their own facility, then maybe it’s best to take away their ‘Greatest Company in the World’ reward cake.

@@Aozame to be fair we are one of those backfires and as shepard we kicked ass and don't forget miranda or jack they made amazing weapons they just never really worked out for Cerberus. So we have to give them a little credit
Cerberus is *technically* a separate entity from the various legitimate businesses they own, so not really an “evil corporation” in the same way the ones on the list are.
@adan daniels Yeah, but that just further proves the point. Miranda’s recruitment, Jack’s experimentation, and Shepard’s resurrection were all done with the intent to further the goals of Cerberus, only to have all three assets ultimately turn around and actively oppose them.

The aether foundation from Pokémon sun and moon is one. ‘Oh, I wonder what will happen when we summon a giant jellyfish demon from another dimension?’ The ultra games get a pass because it wasn’t the foundation’s fault then. Not to mention the leader of aether was so terrible to be around that her own children abandoned her, taking a failed genetic engineering experiment and a small cloud god that despises bags.
I love the addition of anything Mass Effect so how about the time the Illusive Man decided he would try to control the reapers and got everyone in Cerberus indoctrinated. That decision was doomed the second he made it
I love the animus. They say so many science words when they explain it! I mean- the premise is flawed at EVERY step and not a single one of those science word was used correctly, but it’s SO spectacularly awful it’s kind of cute.
Zilla Corporation made a mistake by hiring Lo Wang. The damage toll must have gone up to billions, not to mention the cumbersome task of recruiting for all the employees lost.

Did you forget The Hyperion Corporation from the Borderlands series? Especially in Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack seems you as "the bad guys" trying to kill you every which way possible, yet still allows you to infinitely respawn at the New U stations, owned by the Hyperion Corporation. I think Handsome Jack missed his opportunity.
In AC black flag aren't abstergo attempting to make a pirate movie called Devils of the Carribean (I don't know either clearly its a reference to care bears) using footage your character is supposed to have recorded and editing out the assassin/templar bits
How about Project Walrider started by Murkoff Corporation in Outlast? I would say it failed when their test subjects kinda started brutally murdering everyone and turning into ghosts.
The Atlas & Hyperion Corporations from Borderlands 1 & 2 (respectively). One tries to take over a vault, which ends up just being a ridiculously difficult and disappointing final boss, and the other hires you, blows you up on a train, kills your best friend, has his own daughter turned into an AI system, and creates a revival system that may have made your character sterile.
@@crows2808 So would Shepard, if the Illusive Man had allowed Miranda to install that control chip she wanted. (Well, okay, not cheaper, but more obedient.) And we saw how well the clone (didn't) work in the Citadel DLC. The clone didn't have friends like Shepard did, only hired minions (it's implied that this is the reason why Shepard was able to defeat the clone). Or, as TV Tropes might say, "What kind of power is heart, anyway?" In the end, TIM's plan worked. Shepard did end the Reaper invasion... just not the way TIM expected. (Also, technically, Cerberus wasn't a corporation, it was a pro-human extremist group. Though I'm sure they had plenty of corrupt executives in several different companies secretly funneling money to Cerberus.)
Did you forget that in Borderlands 2 Handsome Jack runs Hyperion, the very company that brings you back after you die? If you want to stop someone from foiling your master plans, I dunno maybe, find a way to stop your computer from bringing them back from the dead?
I feel like in a follow up vid, Faro Automated Solutions from Horizon Zero Dawn should appear. Faro made a line of war machines, that can use biomass as fuel, and gave them the capacity for self-manufacture. All it took to have a literal apocalypse was a single glitch in the line that severed chain of command, and the Earth's biosphere was completely destroyed in about 2 years. Why didn't they just shut them down? The deactivation codes use advanced technology, which I can only really explain as being basically randomly generated for each individual machine
I think Fazbear Entertainment is less evil and more full of idiots who are running out of cash. Plus when they did upgrade/replace them, that went just as badly. Or maybe that's just me. I dunno.
Luna Plays Games he doesn’t, he helped build some of the animatronics back in the day with someone named Henry who when he learned that William Afton was a murderer using the animatronics to stash the kids bodies, killed himself. While they were both co-founders, William was trapped by one of the spring-lock suits(golden Bonny aka Springtrap) and left to rot until fazbear fright started being built during the events of Fnaf 3
At least in Assassin's Creed: Rogue we see that Abstergo isn't creating the Ezio Trilogy. They'd be completelyed doomed if they propagated using that beautiful Italian man.
By in game Lore figures like Conway are their villains in their games and not their heroes. The memories that we experience as part of the game we play are not exactly what Abstergo releases in the games they create based off of those memories.
Video idea: Best sniper levels in games. (Levels, or sections of games where they give you a high-caliber sniper rifle, and you feel like a badass) You’ve got the one in The Last of Us, and you’ve got a couple in Red Dead 2.
Best part of X's apparent programming is that it's designed to exclude certain rooms from its unstoppable wrath, presumably so it doesn't accidentally punch a certain traitorous police chief in the face. So all you need to do in order to evade Umbrella's terrifying killing machine is...walk through a certain door. Then, despite it knowing you're in there, it gets bored and wanders off, allowing you to slip away unnoticed. Marvelous design, Umbrella. Simply marvelous.
You forgot about the Empire in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. Moving to Kamino to clone possibly THE MOST DANGEROUS jedi/sith apprentice in the galaxy, and guarding him with nothing but Stormtroopers is just begging for corporate trouble. I mean he took down the Emperor in the first game for crying out loud!
Well, the Galactic Empire's made its fair share of stupidities in the films too, not the least of which being that they allowed the Bothan spies to know the location of the actual shield generator instead of a dummy one.
Can't belive you didn't mentoin horizon zero dawn. Faro Automated solution deserve a place on a list for creating war-robots, that destroyed all life on Earth!
I like how you can find a recording in that game where they only realised building self-sustaining robots could be problematic when said self-sustaining robots start eating dolphins.
When I saw Mass Effect show up on the spoiler list I genuinely laughed because I had to stop and figure out which of the many (evil) corporate blunders in that game. Sure, there's the Thorian, but there's also (in the same game) the rachni...yeah...
You're telling me Umbrella's biggest mistake wasn't making zombie viruses or messing with mind-controlling parasites? It's not so much that they tried it, but that they caused several apocalypses and still continued to try. "Oh, wait, I see what I did wrong. Bring on the next city. I swear, this one won't end in being overrun by monsters or missile bombings"
You choose what you do and don't appreciate. Your able to imagine what it's like for others and can even admit that it might help you appreciate it but you can't use that perspective to not be more appreciative? That makes no sense
Why Vault-Tec? They set out to create conditions for a generation ship to explore the distant stars and well... it worked. If anything, it was the Enclave who took over the labs and facilities that fucked everything up for them.
Technically the only ones the Thorian creature enthralled were the Feros Colonists, so ExoGeni didn't lose out on any capital on the experiments. Their dumbest mistake was choosing to set up shop on a planet on the edge of Geth Space
Hyperion from Borderlands deserves to be here. Jack: "Wow I hate bandits. If only I had some sort of amazing super weapon I could use to kill them."

Practically any evil Pokémon team. Don't let a guy witch a rattata, ekans, or something else that should definitely be evolved at this point in the story, be the last line of defense at your HQ. In the first place, just get some better Pokémon
Technically Team Plasma Grunts' Pokemon are weak since it's the ones that they "liberated" from the normal people on the towns that are conveniently the same level as yours during progression.
Half of the teams would destroy everything we know.
Team Magma & Aqua would either create a desolate wasteland or Waterworld by waging war between Groudon and Kyogre.
Team Galatic wants to play god and reshape the universe with Palkia and Dialga, which could easily backfire.
Team Flare wants to intentionally cause the end of the world with Xerneas and Yvetal.
I forgive Team Rocket for this since their standard pokemon are primarily for thieving, not battling. Why Rattatas and Ekans instead of Raticate and Arbok? Because they're smaller and can fit into tighter spaces.
Yondu: "Good fer thievin'"
Team Yell is a "spare time" hobby of some Spikemuth Gym staff, and their pokemon are always at or below your level. Keep in mind that they're gym *Number 7 of 8* and you always annihilate them.

Can I just say that in Black Flag, what you as the character is experiencing when you play and control Kenway, is not the game that they are developing. This is you going through the memories of Desmond Miles' DNA to gather inspiration and information about the past so they can make a game in which the templars are good and the assassins bad. Also it's a front to search for the oracles or whatever that guy with two different eyes is called.
Sages
Yeah, but every single AC game besides Revelations, if I'm remembering the name right, made the Templars the bad guys and the Assassins the good guys. It wasn't just Black Flag, Black Flag just continued the trend
Vault-Tec (and, for that matter, many others) from Fallout has far too many to count.
Everything Vault Tec did was intentional they weren't bothered how the vault experiments turned out as long as something happened, they can't be held responsible for Fallout 76...
@@baneofdan Thing is, that's still stupid. Yes, the Vaults were all an elaborate conspiracy by Vault-Tec and the government to perform isolated (not controlled, because they weren't) experiments on various populations to see how they'd survive (or not) in a variety of rather contrived scenarios. And all it took was ending the whole world to get the whole thing started. So their whole plan relied on the destruction of civilization. Either because it was inevitable and they knew it, or because they caused it on purpose, themselves. Either way, instead of preserving and nurturing the last remnants of human civilization like they said they would, they subjected them to experiments which killed most of the survivors, and drove most of the rest crazy. Because when there's almost no people left, surely that's the best use of those limited resources.
And what did they learn? Who even are they? Because by all accounts, they're all long dead, and didn't seem to benefit at all from whatever these experiments were supposed to reveal. And it's not like there was any profit in it, because civilization itself ended before it even began, so their money, if they ever made any, was worthless before the experiments even happened. Even the survival of mankind and the existence of non-mutated strains of humanity of use to the Enclave were incidental results of the Vault project, not part of their original purpose. Which is elusive, to say the least. It's not a stretch to say that everyone running Vault-Tec was probably insane, which explains a lot about the Fallout universe.
Vault tec looks to have been engineered as a way to usurp world power by making a new world government and military although almost all their military projects were cataclysmic failures. They had or seemed to have a unique outlet in each vault that on its own isnt too substantial but combined with others would likely make quite a complex system if it had worked out. In lamens terms a perfect world however those visions of ultimatum rarely work out.
@@nightsong81
Vault-Tec was looking to create a generation ship to colonise other worlds. They have no idea what might be out there or the situations that might occur on such a ship, so they ran experiments to see what people might do. They probably had big plans to run those experiments; the war just accelerated them.
I would include the Institute, since Father's super cool plan to experiment with your release from the cryotube ultimately resulted in his death and the total destruction of his underground evil genius lair. Moral of the story: don't release an angry parent bent on revenge.

Cerberus was a black ops unit within the Alliance military, highest security clearance. They went rogue in the first game and after Shepard wrecked their highly illegal projects, reemerged as a full blown terrorist group allegedly dedicated to the alleged advancement of humanity. The whole Reaper control business came after Shepard's successful mission to stop the Collectors.

In K1 they seemed incompetent with the Tatooine fiasco, but they did use their foothold on the planet to build those research facilities (revealed in SWTOR), so it was not so bad.

Hey, the universe IS massive.
Fazbear doesn't need new animatronics--just some doors that stay closed without consuming power! Come on, guys, that's the default state of doors!
The consuming power part of the doors is weird and nonsensical, but the fact they open when the power fails is not. Those are doors that are designed to "Fail Open", presumably in that whoever is inside the office doesn't become trapped if the power fails, such as in the event of a fire. If they were "Fail Close", they'd be great against the animatronics, yeah, but otherwise whoever was inside would be trapped until power was restored which in some cases, like a fire, would be very, very bad.
@@JoshTigerheart Yeah but he's saying why go through all that trouble when you can install standard doors that don't use electricity xD. I mean make em heavy duty and add a couple deadbolts. Think of the money you'll save on electricity and having to compensate for murdered security
It should cost power to keep them open right? Oh wait I forgot the building is upside down

Peak 15 was owned by (or perhaps leased to, we never got to see the documentation) Binary Helix, which had one Saren Arterias and Matriarch Benezia as major shareholders. And that's why you don't upset the shareholders, Mike, some of them can flay you with their minds
To paraphrase their own staff: "These Labs only exist to do stupid crap that gets people killed." Quite the ringing endorsement.
@@talltroll7092 Since those people are presumably both Reaper indoctrinated, one has to wonder if the purpose of breeding Rachni was to introduce a force into the galaxy which can't be negotiated or allied with, since if there were a galactic Rachni war at the same time the Reapers showed up you'd have half the galaxy that was unable to even consider the idea of putting their differences aside to stand against their common enemy.
Its probably not a huge stretch to imagine that part of that plan could even be to enslave the Rachni to the Reapers the same way they did to the Collectors.
Mobius from the evil within could also fit on this list. They implanted every single one of their employees with a chip that could kill them if they ever betrayed the corporation... which allowed the protagonists to basically destroy the entire organisation Kingsmen style.

"constipated expression" i see what you did there, and that was one of the most amazingly subtle jokes I've heard in a long time. Well done
The Atlas & Hyperion Corporations from Borderlands 1 & 2 (respectively). One tries to take over a vault, which ends up just being a ridiculously difficult and disappointing final boss, and the other hires you, blows you up on a train, kills your best friend, has his own daughter turned into an AI system, and creates a revival system that may have made your character sterile.

@@lanceuppercut6168 The Forced Evolutionary Virus Virus?
Machine machine?
What about Cerberus they literally rebuild the man who can end up killing the head of their corporation
They said a clone wouldn't work, but let's be real. A clone would have been so much cheaper and so much more obedient.
@@crows2808 So would Shepard, if the Illusive Man had allowed Miranda to install that control chip she wanted. (Well, okay, not cheaper, but more obedient.)
And we saw how well the clone (didn't) work in the Citadel DLC. The clone didn't have friends like Shepard did, only hired minions (it's implied that this is the reason why Shepard was able to defeat the clone). Or, as TV Tropes might say, "What kind of power is heart, anyway?"
In the end, TIM's plan worked. Shepard did end the Reaper invasion... just not the way TIM expected. (Also, technically, Cerberus wasn't a corporation, it was a pro-human extremist group. Though I'm sure they had plenty of corrupt executives in several different companies secretly funneling money to Cerberus.)
They're a terrorist organization not a corporation
Did you forget that in Borderlands 2 Handsome Jack runs Hyperion, the very company that brings you back after you die? If you want to stop someone from foiling your master plans, I dunno maybe, find a way to stop your computer from bringing them back from the dead?
I feel like in a follow up vid, Faro Automated Solutions from Horizon Zero Dawn should appear.
Faro made a line of war machines, that can use biomass as fuel, and gave them the capacity for self-manufacture. All it took to have a literal apocalypse was a single glitch in the line that severed chain of command, and the Earth's biosphere was completely destroyed in about 2 years.
Why didn't they just shut them down? The deactivation codes use advanced technology, which I can only really explain as being basically randomly generated for each individual machine
I think Fazbear Entertainment is less evil and more full of idiots who are running out of cash. Plus when they did upgrade/replace them, that went just as badly.
Or maybe that's just me. I dunno.
No they're evil, literally run by William Afton, who murders children
@@TheWizardMus oh, didn't know that he ran it. Never mind then.
Luna Plays Games he doesn’t, he helped build some of the animatronics back in the day with someone named Henry who when he learned that William Afton was a murderer using the animatronics to stash the kids bodies, killed himself. While they were both co-founders, William was trapped by one of the spring-lock suits(golden Bonny aka Springtrap) and left to rot until fazbear fright started being built during the events of Fnaf 3
blackeyedconor that lines up more with what i was thinking.
At least in Assassin's Creed: Rogue we see that Abstergo isn't creating the Ezio Trilogy. They'd be completelyed doomed if they propagated using that beautiful Italian man.
By in game Lore figures like Conway are their villains in their games and not their heroes. The memories that we experience as part of the game we play are not exactly what Abstergo releases in the games they create based off of those memories.
Big evil corporations should hire Luke as their PR person.
Also Cerberus all their projects"break loose and start killing all our guys"
Video idea:
Best sniper levels in games.
(Levels, or sections of games where they give you a high-caliber sniper rifle, and you feel like a badass)
You’ve got the one in The Last of Us, and you’ve got a couple in Red Dead 2.
And COD MW
I thought the video would be about EA, Activision.
"7 Dumbest Mistakes by Evil Corporations that could've been avoided if you only listened to Jane"

Wait... this isn't a video game.
_do you guys not have phones_
Best part of X's apparent programming is that it's designed to exclude certain rooms from its unstoppable wrath, presumably so it doesn't accidentally punch a certain traitorous police chief in the face. So all you need to do in order to evade Umbrella's terrifying killing machine is...walk through a certain door. Then, despite it knowing you're in there, it gets bored and wanders off, allowing you to slip away unnoticed.
Marvelous design, Umbrella. Simply marvelous.
"Mr. X pursues you throughout the game with the perseverance of a student loan officer..." Jane you're killing me!!!
This is the first time someone explained five nights at Freddy's without my eyes glazing over cuz the lore is so convoluted.
Well the story is quite simple. It has just been made complicated by leaving out details
It's boringly simple in fact. but it just keeps going.
You forgot about the Empire in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. Moving to Kamino to clone possibly THE MOST DANGEROUS jedi/sith apprentice in the galaxy, and guarding him with nothing but Stormtroopers is just begging for corporate trouble. I mean he took down the Emperor in the first game for crying out loud!
Well, the Galactic Empire's made its fair share of stupidities in the films too, not the least of which being that they allowed the Bothan spies to know the location of the actual shield generator instead of a dummy one.
Can't belive you didn't mentoin horizon zero dawn. Faro Automated solution deserve a place on a list for creating war-robots, that destroyed all life on Earth!
I like how you can find a recording in that game where they only realised building self-sustaining robots could be problematic when said self-sustaining robots start eating dolphins.

"PEACEKEEPERS!"
When I saw Mass Effect show up on the spoiler list I genuinely laughed because I had to stop and figure out which of the many (evil) corporate blunders in that game. Sure, there's the Thorian, but there's also (in the same game) the rachni...yeah...
You're telling me Umbrella's biggest mistake wasn't making zombie viruses or messing with mind-controlling parasites? It's not so much that they tried it, but that they caused several apocalypses and still continued to try. "Oh, wait, I see what I did wrong. Bring on the next city. I swear, this one won't end in being overrun by monsters or missile bombings"
I wish I was alive when doom was the best looking game ever. I think it would make me appreciate games today a bit more.
Yeah....imagine being alive when Pong was a new game that was mind blowing.......
Atari tennis was amazing.
So you hate the New Doom?
You choose what you do and don't appreciate. Your able to imagine what it's like for others and can even admit that it might help you appreciate it but you can't use that perspective to not be more appreciative? That makes no sense
For the commenter edition:
Cerberus
Weyland Yutani
Faro Corporation
Vault Tec
Hyperion Corporation
Tai Yong Medical
That's a good list, nice one. 👍
@@maxvel0city906 Thx😁
And I'm proud to say that I played all of them😋
@@lettherebedragons8885 You've got great taste in games, Tai Yong Medical was Deus Ex wasn't it?
@@maxvel0city906 Yep Deus Ex Human Revolution not sure about Mankind Divided thats still on my pile of shame...😔
Why Vault-Tec? They set out to create conditions for a generation ship to explore the distant stars and well... it worked. If anything, it was the Enclave who took over the labs and facilities that fucked everything up for them.
The top games that let you marry, but not anyone important.
Technically the only ones the Thorian creature enthralled were the Feros Colonists, so ExoGeni didn't lose out on any capital on the experiments. Their dumbest mistake was choosing to set up shop on a planet on the edge of Geth Space
Hyperion from Borderlands deserves to be here.
Jack: "Wow I hate bandits. If only I had some sort of amazing super weapon I could use to kill them."
Angel: *Born as one of the most powerful humans on the planet with a host of incredible abilities that only 5 other people in the world could possibly match.*
Jack: "No, not like that! Like a big dumb monster who's easy to shoot!"
Clearly Jane hasn't seen the Mr.X mod where he trudges around in a swimsuit bikini bottom
I've seen that mod more than I've seen the normal Mr. X. That plus the Sexy Leon mod is quite a thing to behold.
Now for the spin-off "good companies that severely screwed up" (isn't there a video about it already?)
HaouLeo Considering the UAC’s inclusion on _this_ list, “good company” is clearly considered oxymoronic by these chaps regardless of world.
“Oh I did it!” The exact line Mike should say whenever he pulls off one of his super destructive hitman kills
Number 1: pale king and his experiments with void
Reason: he died on his chair supposedly after killing millions or whatever number of his own children for them to get filled with void, only for one to be deemed "hollow" enough while the others are thrown in an abyss. Which also angers the now dead shades...
But hey, the dude was a king... Not a corporation
Hyperion deadass brought their worst enemy back to life just for come cash
