What happens when a celebrity cashes a massive check for a video game cameo, only to absolutely despise the final product? From public bashing and social media rants to multi-million dollar lawsuits, these are the craziest stories of stars who went to war with game developers.

In this episode, we explore the bizarre history of celebrity-endorsed video games gone completely wrong. We dive into how Japanese icon Beat Takeshi designed an 8-bit Famicom torture chamber out of pure spite, how Ed O’Bannon’s massive lawsuit destroyed EA’s NCAA College Basketball and Football franchises, and why rock legends like Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose ended up in the middle of massive Guitar Hero controversies. Whether it’s terrible mechanics in Shaq Fu or broken promises by Activision, these celebrities quickly learned that being in a video game isn’t always a slam dunk.
