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.
It’s been a while since I’ve played the game or engaged with the community (1.5+ years?) but the devs would definitely nerf things the community found very fun. Like, dudes, it’s not a PvP game. Just leave it alone. Let people enjoy your jank. The constant shuffle of core mechanics turned it into a game that just felt unpredictable and unfinished. It’s what pushed me away.
