What is the most annoying thing video games companies do?

For me it is when they release a console in a new colour or size and charge you the cost as the old one did when it first came out.

When they drop the price of the system about one month after I buy it. >(

some sports games have a liscense so that no other game of the same sport can have official teams and players. that's annoying, and only makes it worse

i also hate it when games are rushed. i'd rather wait.

that's pretty much it

Bad voice acting. Nothing else can ruin a game quite like it.

"It's more than possible for bugs to slip by the testers...so we're only going to release the game with more bugs than the state of Florida since we have online capabilities!"

"Oh, how did I not figure THAT out...Wait a minute, how were we supposed to figure out THAT puzzle?!"

In the same vein:

"I don't think the player will figure out this easy puzzle, let's do some close-ups and drop a blatant hint via the gift of the protagonist's inner monologue or somesuch. They won't get pissed, they're mostly dolts." Ugh.

Lack of backward compatibility. Means I can't sell my old system to make money to get the new one.

Games that lack multiplayer capabilities for people who DON'T play online. I just want to be able to hook up 2 controllers and play at my house darnit! Online is great and all, but sometimes I want something on a personal level.

Aand I agree with everything else that's been posted too. xD

Capcom: Killing the Mega Man franchise by recycling the same content every year.
Nintendo: Appealing to the family-friendly market by making their games very easy. Metroid Prime 3 is breaking this trend, thankfully.
Namco: Not releasing other Tales games in the U.S.
Square-Enix: Doing their best to appeal to fanboys and goths with more style than need be. Granted, Kingdom Hearts II was a very well-done game and I still love it to this day. However, the same cannot be said for their other recent titles. Also re-releasing Final Fantasy IV yet again, even though it was on GBA just two years ago.
Konami: They ended MGO last April, what else?

1. When they make a shitty game. (No brainer there)
2. Release such a good-looking game I go out and buy it immediately only to discover 2 months later that a Special Edition is coming out, at full price usually. (Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, for one.)
3. Release a game that my poor ass desperately wants to play, but not release it in my country. (Namco x Capcom, for one.)
