What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

I loved the early internet, where people were doing art for arts sake and funslop for funslops sake.

Then there was a tiny tiny period where people started making money doing it, and I was young and naive enough to truly believe we could have a kind of content-utopia where creative types would flourish etc etc.

The trend-chasing algorithm-humping stifling any chance of financial success for creativity and inventiveness was pretty inevitable in hindsight, but still.

The feelings gone and we'll never get it back.

It do be like that

Dreamcast: Pen Pen Triicelon.

Felt like a pretty big release at the time, but nobody in real life seems to have heard of it.

Edit : this game represents the one and only exception to a blanket rule i have regarding vidya - fuck the ice level.

Fun fact - i bet you already know but for any others looking - its possible to use these shapes to create "a computer" that itself runs the game, which can run a copy within itself, which can also run a copy and so on and so on forever

its the end of the rule as we know it

I've got very little evidence/knowledge, just "common sense" guesses, but i think there'll be a lot of survivor bias in that. We hear about the titans of industry who shaped mankind with revolutionary techniques/inventions, and we see the statues of people who made massive impacts on the world, but we don't hear so much about the "made shitloads by reallocating resources creatively, spent it all on child sex-slaves, what a bastard"

It'll be good, but it won't be as good as its hyped up to be, because even a game coded by an army of time-travelling future-messiahs from every conceivable dimension couldn't be as good as the hype suggests.

What you can look forward to is every single content creator even remotely related to digital entertainment talking about how its the best/worst thing ever, dissecting every single plotpoint, getting enraged/excited over every minor update, endless discussions over the price of the mtx that will generate more revenue than a mid-sized countries GDP.

Even if the game sucks by every objective metric, children and casuals will still throw money at it every chance it gets. The game has to be amazing for me to have any hope.
