idk you seem to be putting words in tc's (or my) mouth. nobody said "simple games bad" (the only thing he elaborated is that fall guys ripped off another game or at least he believes so) and you can hardly call it gatekeeping or thinking his word is final when the title mentions it's just his opinion.

I guess I can accept that. Sometimes when something is used in the wrong way so much, I start reading it as not literal. So many people will use "Unpopular opinion" but then argue as if what they say is fact. But you're right, that didn't really happen here.

I see their input to the genre being that they made it massive multiplayer and elimination rounds format. Which are 2 of the biggest reasons it works so well. Games take pre-existing pieces and form a new product more than not these days. Barely anything is original these days. It's just a good combination of pieces or it's not. I do admit, I liked Death Stranding a lot, specifically because it had gameplay that felt way more original than everything else that size coming out. Regardless of if you thought it was good or not, it wasn't like everything else and that was appealing. But I can also appreciate these simple games that take pre-existing pieces and makes something that feels fresh even if it's recycled pieces.
