The release of the newest zombie survival game, Dead Island, has received a lot of attention. While some of it is quite positive, and I must say myself that the game looks fun with the amazing amount of detail put into the environment, much more of it has focused around the negative. The PC version originally released on Steam was actually an unfinished product which still had several glitches concerning 3rd person character rendering and the completely unlocked camera, allowing players to spy and teleport around the island. See some of the funnier aspects here:
After the publishing company made a statement saying they would rectify this error on Steam and fix existing versions with a patch, another player found that one of the files containing coding for a move for the female character Purna in game was called "Feminist Whore." In game, this move is called "Gender Wars" and allows her to deal extra damage to male zombies. The company stated that it was a programmer's "personal joke" and that said programmer would face repercussions. Deep Silver (publisher of Dead Island), that's pretty offensive. You may want to check for these errors before releasing a game. >.>
