>niche game popular in 4chan gets popular>audience gets replaced by insufferable redditors and ex tumblrites that would type paragraphs analyzing why the protagonist is trans or some shitIt happened with SCP, it happened with touhou ,it happened with project moon and it happened with Pizza Tower of all games. Is it inevitable? How can we combat these people?
>>732244885I don't care what the fanbase is like. If I like the work I like the work, if I don't then I don't. Sometimes it sucks a bit to want to talk about something and remember the people available to do so are fucking obnoxious, that's the extent of it.
>>732244885I avoid this issue by not using reddit, twitter, discord, etc
This is like the opposite of cyberbullying. You're cybervictiming yourself. Just close your eyes retard. But realistically create your own world/game and then gatekeep by not letting anyone get involved in it, otherwise your schizo self will get irrationally angry at anyone and everything you can't control.
stopping reddification is like trying to stop winter from happening
The darkest pill to swallow is that is where the money is.
>I go out of my way to interact with the most annoying people on the internet and now Im mad how could this be happening to me?!
>>732246252>i go out of my way to interact Bold of you to assume its not the other way round
>>732244885Name a single niche game that was popular on 4chanYou’re just being vague, hoping that autists associate something to this dead board full of bots spamming the latest skinner box
>>732244885Just play shitty games
>>732246413>literally had 4 examplesAre you fucking blind
>>732246382Im a fan of multiple series OP listed and I don't get bothered like he does because I dont use reddit/twitter/discord (cancer retard containment sites)
EDF and Elin are still safe.
>>732244885Man you fags have got to be the softest people imaginable. Nobody is forcing you to interact with fanbases on the internet. Close your eyes. Guess what? They're gone.
>>732246560Unfortunately, fans can and would affect the product itself even if you cover your ears and pretend nothing is happening>SCP is homestuck now with the same fans >Touhou is now for Ftm trans girls and Yuri exclusively>Project moon went from decent scp inspired writing into third world hype and aura slop to accommodate their new roblox audience>pizza tower is the only one untouched but thats because the creator is actually based enough to not give a shit about its fans at all
>>732247121I play Touhou and PM games still, so I guess I'm just unaffected.
>>732244885nigger if your problem with project moon is that reddit likes it and not that it's sold out to gacha, you're the problem
>>732247386Neither of those is a problem.
Fear and Hunger was crushed by redditization
>>732247121>SCP is homestuck now with the same fansit's actually closer to sonic with capeslop elements now, yes the furry fetishes includedyes things have gotten THAT bad
>>732244885make every character a cute anime girl who doesn't wear pants. Do that and no matter how good your game is normalfags will run for the hills.
if the fans are insufferable here then that means you were the ones that ruined it but let me guess you're one of the good ones
>>732244885Have your own community and gate keep them well.
>>732247386project moon is a gook company ofc they were gonna take the monetary path
>>732244885Its just the cycle. Life and death. Creation and destruction. Niche indie gem into enshittified mainstream slop. Enjoy things while they last.And also hope someone makes a good lobcorp ripoff because PM certainly isn't going to make a sequel.
>>732244885You can't, gatekeeping isn't possible it's always been a cope. Hell you can't even gate keep in real life anymore even tabletop shit has been pozzed.
>>732247823Lately all the SCP shits been just about 8980 and 2911 which are 500 paragraphs melodramatic shit about some gay shit, dr bright being a pedophilic scum for the 400th time and scp girls fucking each other. Its definitely more homestuck then anything.This is literally just the fucking candy/meat era of HS
>>732244885with violence
>>732244885They're trying to do it with riichi mahjong right now but thankfully the chinks who run the clients won't kneel to them
>JUST UHHH LE IGNORE LE AUDIENCE (BRAAAAAAP)You faggots don't get it. Simply ignoring the loud ones online doesn't stop the developers and publishers from fagging up the game in order to sell more copies. This is how you get John Halo wearing rainbow armor, or Kratos jerking off while a black guy fucks his wife.>UHHHH JUST IGNORE THAT TOOYeah whatever, nigger
>>732247892>implying that won’t just draw the cancerous communities fasterMost of the fanbases OP listed have an abundance of pedos and troons with anime avatars. I know /v/ doesn’t want to have the conversation about this correlation yet, but putting it off doesn’t make the truth go away.
>>732248994Turns out autistic men in wigs and dresses share the same interests as other autistic men.
>>732248994Turns out mentally ill hobbies attract mentally ill men
>>732244885No blacksNo fat womenNo jewsGraphics and story are secondary to gameplayUnlockable bikini cheat code that puts all females in the game in bikinisBig boobsNo microtransactions
>>7322448854chan and reddit have the same userbase. There is no meaningful distinction and there hasn't been one for at least a decade.
>>732248994Rabi Ribi is living proof you're wrong though. Redditor communities avoid mentioning the game like they think its Voldemort. look at any reddit list of metroidvanias and it'll be completely absent despite being one of the absolute best ones.
>>732244885This is why I will never try the Undertale games. The fanbase is so fucking gay and annoying.
>>732250092Lmao maybe its because its shit
>>732251486t. redditor
>>732244885Nigga just log off, if you're getting triggered by some autistic neckbeard enjoying the things you like then you're no different from them.
>>732248856>I'm angry because devs are pandering to the fans of their games!!!!!It's almost like companies will do whatever they can to make profitable products, who knew? Fucking reactionary newfaggots in this dogshit board, I swear.
>>732250092Unfortunately the things that gatekeep those people also attract the same type of people on the other end.So many people that only like the game because of its aesthetic, which isn't even particularly well executed anyways.Damned either way, honestly.
>>732246413There was a short time FNaF was a hidden gem here.
