Watch Dogs’ was not a good game. This has been said by pretty much everyone on the Internet, but we’re not going to get into that now. Indeed, the flaws of the game, like the invading of people’s privacy and the lack of hackable stuff in the games world is not nearly as broad as advertised.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Yeah, just because a character is unlikable or does bad things doesn't mean they're a bad character. I like complexity in my game characters, which is why The Last of Us' Joel stuck with me.
