Yep that's what the title describes. Its a list for games that are notoriously bad but they will likely never be featured on Blight Club. Of Course, Blight Club does what they can showing off some of the worse games out there and somebody has to reach credits by beating that game. But for these games they may be terrible but may never be on the feature. Whether they have something that goes against Twitch rules and can get Giant Bomb in trouble or if they are outright problematic and deserve no spotlight on the feature whatsoever. So anyways here's the list of games I came up with and the reasons why these games will never be on Blight Club.
Also if you have any other games you'd suggest should be on the list

This one is unfortunate for me to put on the list because I love The Sopranos TV Series and frankly if someone were to Blight Me with this game, I'd have some excitement playing it. Its a 3D Beat em Up set in The Sopranos and even though they got all the actors from the show to record voice lines, the deliveries sound so much like they don't want to be there that it would be funny to experience. Plus igoing by reviews its not a good beat em up and the exploration is too linear. As much as I'd like to see Mike dress up as Tony Soprano (or Jeff since he's actually seen The Sopranos), don't think this game will ever be on Blight Club for 2 reasons. 1, it has licensed music that plays so that could get Giant Bomb taken down by the DMCA. 2, well you go to the Bada Bing in this game and surprise, Silvio's Strip Club has nudity so that will also get Giant Bomb in series trouble. So yeah don't think Road to Respect will ever be a Blight Club game for those reasons.
This one might surprise you! Wild Woody?! That not great Sega CD platformer starring some deranged Pencil who yells "WIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD WOODY!" That can't be on Blight Club? Look, it would be funny to see Dan dress up as a pencil and play Wild Woody after he eventually beats Space Ace in 40 minutes. But there is one thing about this game that granted is optional and can be avoided, but it could get Giant Bomb in trouble if they do this one action. Apparently in the first level of Wild Woody, Woody can collect a sketch for a Mermaid and I believe if you have the game on de-bug mode or do it at a certain time of the day, Wild Woody can draw a topless mermaid. Yeah this game has nudity in it and if the nude mermaid is drawn that's no good. So because of the mermaid sketch that could be enough to get Wild Woody on the banned game Blight Club list but again this is optional so maybe this game can get a spotlight on Blight Club as long as no mermaids are drawn.
This game stars a problematic figure in Wrestling history and that's enough for it to never be featured on Blight Club. Although the Quick Look back in 2011 is great but not because of Hogan. Mainly for Jeff Gerstmann saying hilarious things such as "I'M GONNA MAKE SWEET LOVE TO YOU FROM THE BACK! ERR!"
Literally on the banned game list on Twitch so never happening. Though back in 2020 Giant Bomb did stream this game on their own streaming service at the time to show how horrible it is.
Also on the banned Twitch game list and is illegal to purchase. Reason for that is because one of the girls in this game was under the age of 18 at the time of its release.
Needs no explanation
I'm listing the franchise here because besides Box Office Bust, I'm pretty sure every other Leisure Suit Larry game has nudity in it. So Mike is safe from anymore Larry on Blight Club if that's the case.
Learned about this game recently but it’s racist towards Chinese People. Also the game over screen has a photo of a real dead body taken from the Bosnian Civil War. This game has some real poor taste and shouldn’t be on Blight Club. Oh and while this game doesn’t have a Giant Bomb page, a sequel to this game released this year called Hong Kong 2097 which still has the protagonist Chin out for demolishing the Chinese Population and has Gen AI art in it. Yeah that one shouldn’t be touched either.
By far the least offensive a risqué on this list. But Ancient Roman is known for being one of the worst, if not THE WORST, Japanese RPG on the PS1. This game isn’t brought up as being one of the RPG greats on a console that was rich with quality RPG’s. But it’s on here because it is a fairly meaty RPG despite being awful at every Gameplay aspect it has and this might be too long for Blight. Though Dan dressed up as a Roman Legionnaire so he can play this PS1 RPG called “Ancient Roman” would be a hilarious surprise reveal. Or Mike playing this and his RPG expertise would be insulted at what Ancient Roman gets wrong.
This feels like one of the last big bad games that Blight Club hasn’t touched yet. I mean it’s Duke Nukem Forever. A game that felt like it took Forever to make when it was announced in 1997 and then released in 2011 and it turned out to be a crummy FPS that has lousy game design and bad humor. But I think this game doesn’t have some nudity in it which isn’t surprising given the franchise’s history with Duke gawking at women. But again if it has nudity, probably shouldn’t be on Blight Club. Though who would I pick if Blight Club decided this game was ok for the show? Probably Jeff. Knowing how frustrated he got with Daikatana maybe DNF could give him some frustration too. But again, this one probably won’t happen with the nudity.
