That's because life is controversial these days.

I mean, people have gotten away with saying offensive shit for a long time and adapting is hard but the past like 8-ish years has been a shitshow of hurt feelings and whining in everything from gaming to mainstream media. A lot of those things are just businesses being businesses as usual though.

Oh yeah those are good ones. Kojima vs Konami guest starring Geoff Keighley was quite the saga.

A combination of feature creep, devs promising too much and gamers wanting things that can't easily being delivered.

I mostly blame the marketing departments for most of the stuff listed there.
