I think it’s kinda sad that games don’t really get fandoms anymore and are more treated like trends to hop on. If mouthwashing came out in say 2015 or something then it’s fandom would’ve lasted years and we could’ve had in depth conversations about it for a long time but for some reason fandoms just don’t have that kind of pull anymore. I get that not every game is gonna be as big as that kind of undertale-era of indie games, but it really did make me so incredibly heartbroken to see how fast people move on to the next game like it’s just another thing to make a video on. It just feels like fans aren’t treating their games like artworks anymore, and more like another TikTok dance to learn. I’m seeing it again with that blue cookie guy from that mobile game (I’m sorry I don’t what it is or what he’s from LOL) and I can just sense it you know? It’s just a passing fad. Something cool to make artwork of and maybe farm some likes but in my opinion most to maybe even all of the recently released game titles, updates, or whatever have you, have had this weird undertone or trendiness to them and honestly I’m really growing to resent it. I know fandoms come and go but it just doesn’t feel like their allowed to get BIG anymore you know? Yeah everyone agreed mouthwashing was GOOD. I mean it’s a total masterpiece to say the least, but it feels like everyone kinda just played it and moved on. Didn’t soak it in. maybe a moment of silence before going “wow good game!” And then onto the next one. No room to breathe. Dude once again (and this is just my observations so maybe I’m just crazy and my algorithms don’t show me any good content as they often tend to do.) I feel like if mouthwashing or any recent title (ultrakill, deltarune, hell I’m scared that even tomodachi life is gonna suffer from it at this point) were released during the big indie boom of the early 2010’s, they would’ve survived at least 5 YEARS. Not barely 2 months. Again not every game has to be this big spectacle that changes the gaming scene forever, but I really just hope yall get where I’m coming from. Games are an art form and I’m tired of half of the internet hopping off of these masterpieces after a few weeks with barely any discussion like they’re trends. Oh yeah and of course I blame TikTok. So if you’re an artist or YouTuber or just like ranting, it’s ok to still discuss and make fan content of games that people aren’t talking about anymore. I really hate the TikTok-ification of fandom. It’s gross. This isn’t how the internet is supposed to be.
