It's not the worst by any means. For example, any game on the infamous Action 52 cartridge is easily worse than E.T. Most of the "worst" consideration happens because of notable game reviewers such as AVGN perpetuating the meme of it being the worst game ever. Kind of similar to how EA Games is often the #1 hated company, even though it has many successful franchises and beloved games.
