[[Executive Meddling|You have to do what the bossman says sometimes]] or it's game over, man.

* An ''extremely'' obscure pachinko game for the Famicom has five percent of the entire ROM file dedicated to an angry rant by one of the programmers, that, among other things, calls his boss an idiot, calls other bosses retards, complaining about the strange noises of the pachinko machines, selling a ROM with a phone number to call for interested parties. The full thing is available
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic X-Treme]]'' is notorious for its [[Executive Meddling]]. First, the main game and boss levels were broken up and given to two different teams, which ended up building them into essentially two completely different games. Then, the team making the boss levels were shown a demo of the then-in production ''[[Ni GHTS Into Dreams]]'' game, further inspiring the team to deviate the levels from the main game and causing ''Nights'' creator Yuji Naka to threaten to leave on grounds of plagiarism. Then, when Sega of Japan came over to check up on progress, they loved the engine for the boss levels so much, they demanded that the entire game be made with it, despite the fact that the team was dangerously close to deadline and short on men due to arguments about the game's direction. It finally took the game's director coming down with pneumonia before the plug was finally pulled.
** Oh, let's not forget how Sega replaced the entire voice cast of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' games with their ''[[Sonic X]]'' counterparts... ''without telling the original cast''. Reportedly, Sonic's original voice actor Ryan Drummond actually had to call Sega to find out when he needed to be back in for recording for ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' before he found out about the switch.
