EA asked former Doom dev American McGee to make his next game "'more sexy,'" so he pasted "dildos onto the head of a giant snail" and "they stopped making those requests"

Alice stands in front of flames.

I thought I'd learned a lot about American McGee's 2011 game Alice: Madness Returns in the years since declaring the grungy fairytale series some of my all-time favorite games, but I never knew about… the dildo snails.

"I tried searching my emails for it and failed," former id Software developer McGee says on Twitter. "Then I tried to Google it. Yeah, don't try to Google it." Dildo snails aren't the kind of thing human hands are meant to go searching for. But, at the time of Madness Returns' production, Alice publisher EA was practically begging for it.
