In a world of live service games, microtransactions and yearly sequels, there are still plenty of fun single-player experiences to be had. That doesn’t mean they’re all exempt from issues. Let’s take a look at some of the miserable things that have happened to certain titles.

Assassin’s Creed Unity was perhaps the most egregious example since you could purchase $100 worth of premium currency…but there weren’t even that many items to spend it on. This only served to further fuel anger towards the game’s broken launch.
