I think that's a better allegory for Sonic Mania, at least when it comes to its performance in the last contest.

One day after getting Blizzard out of this contest, we managed to get rid of Final Fantasy 14. That meant two very good contest days for me personally regardless of any other result, and good riddance to all the garbage. You will not be missed. MMORPGs are such filth to me that this match actually had me cheering for a Mario Kart, of all things. I can't ''stand'' Mario Kart games, because they popularized the trend in game design of punishing skill, but at least they're not MMOs.

"But Ulti! Final Fantasy 14 is the exception to the rule! You can't just hate all MMOs because of a few bad personal experiences!"

haha mmo go lose

Even if I was the type to give MMOs a chance, and I never will be, Final Fantasy 14 was so bad when it first came out that they had to blow up the world and start over. When your game's main endorsement is "well hey, it can't get <i>worse</i>", it doesn't exactly come off as a vote of confidence.

You also need to understand the insane number of people I've met in my life who gave up their entire life to this trash. What really cemented it home for me was World of Warcraft, and these people have gotten no better since that game happened. I still remember being in community college in the mid-2000s when that game first came out, and it was insufferable. All the douchebag guys we all hate in everyday life would go around using actual World of Warcraft lingo to try and pick up girls, and the girls would all reciprocate to get free gold and such in-game. I can't remember a more embarrassing social display than how people acted right after WoW came out.

"The game starts at level 60 bro, are you not a real man yet, why aren't you hitting up WoW in a top guild bro?"

I was married by then thank god, but I can't even imagine growing up a nerd, getting made fun of for liking video games, then becoming an adult and suddenly the main way to get girls is video games. It's like fuck off bitch, all of you. Guys and girls. You all spent 20 years telling people that gaming is for losers and now you're pretending to like that culture?

It's even worse now with those same idiots turning Twitch into a softcore porn site and simps throwing them hundreds if not thousands of dollars for badly -- and I mean ''very'' badly -- "playing video games" while showing cleavage. Imagine being such a loser that you donate to some thot's Twitch stream. There are some people on Board 8 that I have zero respect for, but I can't imagine anyone on here ever being ''that'' pathetic. Airquotes are obviously needed around "playing video games" here, because none of what Twitch thots are actually doing counts as playing video games. Go watch Kaceytron pretend to play League of Legends and try telling me that garbage is actual gaming with a straight face. I dare you.

This meme really tells the entire story:

Someone needs to make a version where it goes to 2020 and includes Twitch thots and their useless simps.

Where did all this crap start? In MMORPGs, that's where. Not only has that genre stolen a bunch of my friends from me, but it almost single-handedly ruined gaming. I don't care how good people want to pretend Final Fantasy 14 is. I will always consider all of it to be trash. World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 11, Runescape, EVE Online, Phantasy Star Online, Everquest, Maple Story, Final Fantasy 14, all of it. It's all garbage.

Actually, better yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_games

Every single game on that entire list and every single game that will ever ''be'' on that list is dead to me for life. Good riddance, Final Fantasy 14. You will not be missed.
