VGC: Top Ten Best Videogame Conspiracy Theories

VGC writes: Conspiracy theories are everywhere whether it be 9-11 truthers, JFK assassination theorists, or even health food companies. Since we are a videogame site, I've rounded up ten of the zaniest, goofiest, and possibly weirdest conspiracy theories out there in no particular order. Maybe we can see a shred of truth in them.

some of these are just silly

Boody-Bandit5131d ago

That is about the dumbest list I have ever seen on N4G and that says it all.

"Microsoft delays on PC in order to support consoles"

Conspiracy NOTHING. They shelved Alan Wake on PC for no reason (Remedy said their PUBLISHER (MS) shelved it), and then made up BS excuses for it months later (B/c gaming on a couch is a better experience (An u cant play PeeCee on a couch)...lolz).

HolyOrangeCows5131d ago

So everyone is aware, I'm MOCKING Remedy for saying that gaming on the couch was a better experience (As if that were true (And as if you couldn't play PC on a couch)), not SAYING that it's better.

Because Remedy tried to say that it would be better to play the game on a couch, that being their wretched reasoning for making it a 360 exclusive (Until they changed their story 2 or 3 times later).

Reigen5131d ago

well the list was to big for me to read entirely
but i must say
that the digital download conspiracy was quite stupid since bluray already has 7.3% of media share
not to mention bluray grew more in market share in jnuary this year than digital media did in the entire 2009

Cold 20005131d ago

They should have added the whole "MS is paying every media in EU and USA to make the PS3 look bad".

I heard the Spanish media is now owned by MS because some Spanish site thinks Natal is cool.

blind-reaper5131d ago

of course that don't happen... lol

xTruthx5131d ago

Yah, companies like IGN,gamestop and now SE would risk their reputation for free huh. Smart thinking right there

"MS is paying every media in EU and USA to make the PS3 look bad".

Than why wasn't it posted in the article? There was hate during the PS3's early life cycle but why? Was it the price? Was it a bandwagon type effect? B/c the PS3's back then had it all(features for the system and using internet browser) so it wasn't b/c of a featureless console. The games were not horrible like so many people said, games like RFOM, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, ect. were fun(at least I had fun). So what ignited the hate? And can anyone prove there was no money involved?

Halo3 MLG Pro5131d ago

LOL! Good one. Yeah it's pretty funny and sad that people on here are that stupid enough to think Microsoft buys everything. Fact is their is zero evidence of Microsoft doing that. Sony on the other hand has solid proof of buying reviews for their movies. LOL!

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
