Angry Video Game Nerd based his entire movie on the Atari ET game because it got MEMEd as the "worst game ever, it's so bad it almost killed the video game industry". But even AVGN admitted it's not THAT bad.

It just makes for a fun story especially with how they buried a bunch of copies in the desert. The real blunder with the ET game wasn't so much due to it being a bad game but due to Atari going full retard and producing more copies of the game than there were Atari consoles to play the thing.

You don't have to have any understanding of what makes a game good or bad to realize that's just a completely stupid decision from a financial standpoint. Even the most clueless exec should have been like "wait a minute this doesn't seem right..."
