game industry horror stories

One common theme is the mismanagement of projects. For example, poor planning can lead to unrealistic deadlines, which then force developers to rush and make mistakes. Another theme is the issue of plagiarism, like when big companies steal ideas from smaller ones. Also, there are often problems with over - promising and under - delivering. A developer or a company might promise a game with amazing features, but in the end, due to various reasons like lack of resources or technical difficulties, they can't deliver what was promised.

A game company once hired a lead developer who seemed very talented. He promised amazing things for their new project. But as time went on, it was discovered that he had lied about his experience and skills. He made wrong decisions that led to a waste of a large amount of the budget and set the project back by months. Eventually, he was fired, but the damage was already done to the project and the company's reputation.

In the food industry horror stories, there is the problem of false labeling. Some products claim to be 'organic' or 'natural' when in fact they are not. There are also horror stories related to food waste. A lot of perfectly good food is thrown away just because it doesn't meet the aesthetic standards of the industry. For instance, misshapen fruits and vegetables are often discarded, while they are still nutritious and edible. Additionally, some food factories have poor hygiene standards. Workers not following proper hand - washing procedures or the use of dirty equipment can lead to foodborne illnesses.

A small business owner paid high premiums for business interruption insurance. When his business was forced to close due to a power outage in the area, the insurance company found a loophole. They claimed that the power outage was due to a third - party's maintenance issue and not covered, leaving the owner in a financial mess. He not only lost income during the closure but also had to keep paying the insurance premiums.

One horror story is about a waitress. She had a table of very rude customers. They complained about everything - the food, the speed of service, even though she was doing her best. They made her run back and forth constantly, and in the end, they left a really small tip even though she worked so hard for them.

One horror story is about artists getting ripped off by their managers. For example, some managers take a huge percentage of the artist's earnings, leaving the artist with very little to live on. They might also make bad deals without the artist's full understanding.

The oil industry has its share of horror stories. Oil spills not only damage the environment but also endanger the lives and livelihoods of local communities. Fishermen lose their source of income, and the wildlife in the affected areas suffers greatly. And in the construction industry, accidents on building sites are all too common. Workers can fall from heights, get injured by heavy machinery, or be exposed to harmful chemicals without proper protection.

A common one is over - processing. If too much keratin is applied or left on for too long, it can make the hair look dull and lifeless instead of shiny and smooth. For example, I know someone who left the keratin treatment on for a bit longer than recommended, and her hair ended up looking flat and greasy for weeks.

Late or no - show vendors are quite common. For example, the DJ not showing up means no music for the party. It ruins the whole mood of the reception.

The story of Kurt Cobain is also quite tragic. He was constantly hounded by the music industry and the press. He struggled with drug addiction and mental health issues. The music industry's intense pressure and the public's scrutiny took a toll on him. Eventually, he committed suicide, which was a huge shock to the music world.
