The term "hate piñata" refers to a situation in the gaming industry where a game company or its developers create an apology video or statement that ends up attracting significant negative attention and criticism from players and the gaming community. This can occur when the apology comes across as insincere, dismissive, or fails to address the root causes of player dissatisfaction, resulting in even more frustration and resentment. The analogy to a "piñata" stems from the idea that the apology becomes a target for the community's frustrations, much like participants in a piñata game aim to hit the piñata to release its contents. In the context of gaming, a "hate piñata" represents a mishandling of public relations that exacerbates player anger rather than resolving it.

Get the Hate Me mug.This is probably one of the most famous things said by someone in the history of man and dog.
It was an average day in Bournemouth, UK in the year 2013 I believe and some random old man came along only to shout at the fleet number of a random Yellow Bus about how much he hates the bus service.
Although unconfirmed, many people believe this person worked at More Bus and tried to encourage use of their transport service
More Bus - Yellow Busses's rival operator - was approached for comment before Jack Spank9049 went to press but never responded.
