    Exactly. Also, that’s just the nature of genres. Nobody is out here complaining that Hollow Knight is copying Castlevania or Metroid. We now have the Metroidvania genre that informs people what kind of mechanics to expect with those kinds of games.

    And just because a game is in a genre someone typically likes doesn’t mean they are required to like every game in that genre.

      I’m more just baffled how fast it blew up, and I figured it must be the Tok exposure. Crazy. The game is fine, I play it myself. I fear its going to enshittify fast as many meme games do though.

        If it does, it cost me a small amount of money for a large amount of enjoyment. Should it come to pass that it enshittifies, we can just move on and remember the good times! No big deal.

        For the moment, don’t let the hypothetical scenario that isn’t real taint the current fun that is real.
