I’m a casual Half Life enjoyer. Spent some time on the subreddit and man is it off the wall.
Tunic has an interesting fandom. That writing system has inspired a lot of cool stuff. The subreddit is censored six ways from Sunday because of how spoiler-sensitive the game is, but I have to wonder what random passers-by must think.
The Undertale fandom has permanently put me off trying the game. It’s not really my kind of game anyway, but I enjoy the soundtrack.
Minecraft has to have had the biggest demographic shift in its player base I’ve ever seen. I bought the game when it was in beta. Most fans were adults who were able to give a random Swede 20 bucks via PayPal. After the game’s release, and especially after the console ports and eventual MS buyout, the average age got younger and younger. I miss the old Minecraft forums.
I try to stay away from most fandoms. Any group of people given sufficient time tends to turn sour. I’ll say as someone not affiliated with the Undertale fandom, it’s a really great story with good combat mechanics and very basic RPG elements. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah, I agree, and it’s a bummer that the fandom for that game keeps people from experiencing it. It really is a great adventure to discover for yourself
