Since I want to start an argument on /v/ I gotta ask, is it possible to be fan of a franchise without playing the games?
>>
>>741790481
No.
>>
Yeah, sure. We call those "secondaries". They've always been a thing. The more a franchise branches out into multimedia, the more of them you get.

>>741790481
>a franchise
Sure why not, even fans of the game, but their opinions don't count.

Better argument, can you be a fan of a franchise by only playing the new games and maybe remakes of older ones and never touch the original older games?
>>
>>741790481
Yes, it's called being a secondary and it's the lowest possible tier of fan you can be. Anyone who's played the games for even just a minute or two is free to spit on you in passing and you have to take it.
>>
No you dumb faggot.
While I admit there are some games that are more fun to watch than to play, to call yourself a fan without actually trying it yourself is retarded
>>
I really don't care, my life isn't so easy that whether or not other people are real fans of a video game series isn't a priority for me.
>>
>>741790481
Some games yes

Yes, you can enjoy secondary media and be a fan of the secondary media.
For example, that's shirano from world flipper, i do enjoy the secondary official and not official content of her.

Never played world flipper and never will.

Yes, but no real fan would think so.

Elden Ring challenge runs can get really goofy, it's even funnier when someone with 10k hours forgets the basics and gives nothing but bad advice.
