more people know about them

Sociological, sure. People are willing to hop onto something they know has a history of success and acclaim.
>>727765846I predict that this game will be in their lower 60s on meta critic with journos complaining about the combat how hard and complex it is.
>>727765986damn those sickos are powerfulthey can permaban a cute and innocent game from /v/ with their posts
>>727765846Brand recognition and media saturation signalling that something is popular and necessary to fit in.A franchise can also directly opine on cultural commonalities and touchstones, because copyright effectively forbids real derivation on any work that may be considered formative outside of the major publishing framework.
>>727765846Is there a scientific reason why this game in particular has the most threads where the OP clearly doesn't actually care about the text he wrote?
Human brain likes familiarity because new things are potentially shit. How often do you eat new food compared to just something you know you like? You can apply this to basically anything

>>727766468Nah. The human brain likes familiarity, because it lets the brain complete a predicted pattern, which results in dopamine release, because the pattern was useful.Your brain is just a series of dumb pattern matching apparatuses. You're even disappointed right now specifically because the plural of apparatus wasn't apparati and your brain didn't get its matchy dopamine.
>>727766370Nope, that would be the Sonic girl furfag threads.
