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.
My friend keeps chat on, but refuses to say anything. His reasoning is that you can’t get banned for any quick chat messages, but everything typed is fair game. If you can get the other team to say something though… report time!
Me? I change my name to mess with the other players. I’ve made quite a few friends from casuals through that method. Plus if you can toe the line on what’s acceptable to type, you can catch the other guys typing out diatribes as you score.
