MassivelyOP’s not-so-serious end-of-the-year awards continue today with our award for the Most embarrassing MMO announcement. The Golden Yachties series is our run of fauxwards, named in honor of somebody we’ve long forgotten from Old Massively who insisted that surely we make so much money that we’re typing MMO blog posts from a gold-plated yacht. (Joke’s on you; it was always silver. Gold is too heavy.)
And the winner is…
The First Descendant is getting jiggle physics
I don’t know whether Nexon was sufficiently embarrassed by this announcement, in which it literally promised, by name, “jiggle physics” for the game, and by the game, we mean boobs. But we were embarrassed on Nexon’s behalf and also for gamers in general for making us all look like horny weirdos who need to touch grass, among other things.
Our commenter Jay summed it up:
