A type of video game created by a large corporation (often referred to as a AAAA game or quad 'A' game). These games are designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience, prioritizing commercial success over artistic innovation or creative risks. While they often feature high production values, cutting-edge graphics, and extensive marketing campaigns, they are frequently criticized for being bland, boring, and soulless.
Corporate games tend to follow formulaic designs, relying on "tried-and-true" mechanics and generic storylines to maximize profitability and minimize the risk of alienating any segment of their target market, which is everyone. This results in games that, despite their technical polish, lack originality, creativity, and depth. They often feature excessive microtransactions, season passes, and other monetization strategies that can detract from the overall gaming experience, these corporations may also incorporate "woke" language and themes, but they're often seen as a superficial and unsuccessful attempt at inclusivity that fails to add meaningful substance to the game.

I was really excited about the new sci-fi RPG, but it ended up being just another corporate game—great graphics, but it felt so generic and uninspired. It’s clear they were more focused on appealing to everyone than making something truly unique

Get the Corporate mug.Corporate clowns are colleagues which are often colleagues with an overly positive attitude. They contribute little to the direct operations of the organization and more become more undercover HR promoters. These colleagues usually as well have lesser understanding of what is going on in the practice, but often try to speak on behalf of it.
They are often 'close' to leadership, since those will grand them the opportunity to organize internal programs or internal events for people. E.g. Innovation roadshows, young leader events etc.. This sometimes mistakenly is identified by other colleagues in the organization, that this person is important, due to their direct reporting within the organization and communication they are often involved in. Leadership is aware and consider that they know they need some corporate clowns for activating other people with overly positive communication, but no actual other results are expected.
Consider that a corporate clown is not a bad thing, but you should not confuse corporate clowns for colleagues to rely on during the execution of external engagements. Otherwise this may lead to get frustration and disappointed, but this would just mean your own misjudgment, because they fulfill a different (unofficial) role. Quick way to recognize is overly positive lingo in communication.

Get the Corporate clown mug.When large corporations are lazy and do things half assedly or decide to drop something to do something else because 5 billion dollars is not a large enough budget to multitask.
