Which video game fandom is this?

League of legends

Fifa

Every fandom has at least a few people like this.

Destiny 2.

NBA2K

Dead by Daylight.

It’s a bit like an abusive relationship:
You know going back to it will only harm you in the long run, but then you remind yourself of the “fun times” you had together, and keep telling yourself that it still has the potential to get better – even though deep down, you know that’s BS.
Then you do give it another chance, only to immediately regret it once it hits you over the head with a healthy dose of reality… and so the cycle continues.

As for myself, the only reason I still touch that burning trash heap of a game is because I have some (online) friends I’m very fond of who don’t really play much else in terms of multiplayer.
It’s the only game in that specific friend group that everyone can somewhat get behind, as we have different tastes otherwise, and the one we got to know each other through.

If not for them, I 100% would have uninstalled without ever looking back years ago.

Madden

Any competitive game

For Honor

Like… every game with a big player base that has ever existed lol.

Ark: Survival Evolved for me. I didn’t spend a lot of time in the community, but I was surprised at the amount of “this game sucks” feedback from regular, habitual players.

At least until I played a good amount of it.
It’s an amazing game full of great ideas and fantastic moments that regularly sucks as if it hates you specifically.

It will constantly, repeatedly, punish you for trying to play.

Every 2K game nowadays

Apex Legends. I believe that people are playing it out of pure spite.

Destiny

Pokemon
