David Cage, the founder of Quantic Dream, became a meme icon due to his polarising approach to video game storytelling and his often-eccentric public statements. Famous for titles like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, Cage is frequently parodied for his obsession with 'emotions,' 'the sadness,' and his distinct French accent, which led to the popular 'Ze Bad Game' catchphrase. Memes typically feature his face alongside exaggerated claims of cinematic genius or critiques of his unique writing style. He represents the bridge between high-art aspirations and the unintentional comedy found in interactive drama, making him a staple of gaming forum culture and YouTube commentary.
