Top Ten Video Games that Were Ruined by Their Fanbases

Everyone knows that Video Games are one of the most popular sources of fun and enjoyment. So it's great when you make a video game and it gets recognized and popular, but If it gets too popular, There is the chance of a fanbase coming along and some of the people in the fanbase will make cringeworthy content about it. Examples of Cringey Content Include These: Fan Art, Fan Fiction, Idolization, Videos of screaming kids, and more.

The Top Ten

1 Cuphead

I've heard that Grim Matchstick and Cala Maria are the ones most popular with porn artists, which is still enough to scare me away from this game already. However, the shipping of Cuphead and Mugman is what truly traumatizes me. Just because they are brothers doesn't mean it is appropriate to ship them together.

Based on what I heard from RetroNemo of The Roundtable, this game was already destined to have its fan base start making porn of it in a few months after it came out. I'm not going to let my curiosity get the best of me on this one...

Don't pick at this game. think it through it is awesome because they brought back older styles of animation like looney toons or Oswald the rabbit I'm 13 by the way

Technically games can't be ruined by fanbases. Only the fanbases can

2 Bendy and the Ink Machine

3 Call of Duty

This also applies to CS:GO, but the fanbase will destroy you if you don't know one single trick.

4 Fortnite: Battle Royale

I like playing Fortnite because I find it fun, but the 7th graders who kept doing the dances made me cringe to death.

It's like 11 year olds being a noob and one angry kid cried cause he got trapped in a tent.

Fanbase is one of the reasons. There is so much to the game being trash. Worst game ever.

There a lot of noobs, and by the way Fart Lover you are such a noob, Fortnite was ruined by its cringey fanbase like Ali-A and Tekkerz Kid most notably.

5 Doki Doki Literature Club!

DDLC was good, until Weebs, Game Theory and 9 year olds touch it. spamming "Just Monika" jokes that ruined it, not just that, but the memes, however some are ok but most of them are cringe worthy and some ruined it for me, and the worst of all, all my God, the fetish and the lawd, I kid you not, you'll not wanna see this, I've seen rule 34 of Sayori and Natsuki kissing striped, they're suppose to be shipped as friends not lovers, and there's even an fetish mod for this game, don't look it up unless you want to suffer, the mod is called (That Special Day WG) that made me bleach my eyes, and made me disgust, here's what happen, I was looking through images for my project until I saw a picture of Monika being Immobile being stuff by food surrounding in her room, this made me throw up and feeling uneasy more then the game, I say Dan Salvato did a great job on this game, however I don't feel like playing it again after what saw.

This game is not as bad as fnaf, bendy,or hello neighbor. The only difference between those games in this game is that... kids don’t play it. Other than that, people are obsessed with this game, they are shipping the girls together, hundreds of Lewds of the girls. And it gets better, if talk one bad thing about their favorite character, they will attack you just like bendy or hello neighbor. The only reason why it’s still going is because of bijuu mike who is milking the series with mods.

The game is great but the fandom... oh god

Monika is a disgrace

6 Dark Souls III

7 Five Nights at Freddy's

I hate FNAF. That's not just because of the game itself, but the fans. This game was supposed to be scary, but it is not anymore due to the fanart of the animatronics and the people who worship the game. This franchise got so popular that FNAF World was made and now a MOVIE?! I believe that this game was fine without a fanbase like this

How do people ship horror games?

This fan base died months ago

8 Minecraft

Minecraft has become one of the most - if not, the most popular game of all time. It was doing pretty well until somewhere in 2014 or 2015. some of the kids that are fans of minecraft loved the game so much, they worship the it and consider people who hate minecraft as... Well let's just say that they hate them back. There is now awful parody songs, animations, Trends in the game, and times where gold is called Butter. It sounds pretty ridiculous for a sandbox building game to end up like this, but there is a thing called being too popular, and I have to say that unfortunately, Minecraft has suffered this.

A list of things created to destroy the IMAGINATIVE game of minecraft:

-Butter (Which is gold being called butter by little squeakers)
-Squeeedsss (Little squeakers again)
-Terrible Songs (Because of these, minecraft went from an imaginative game, to a game where if you didn't kill a mob with a cool stunt, you were LAME)
-Ugly Animations (These were used as the scenes in the terrible songs, with the only good animation in my opinion being Fat Herobrine)

That was my list, tfgfrfder5tfd4thjhyygfr.

Those little kids has turned minecraft into cancer. It is like the north korea in the game world. There are stupid parody songs and youtubers and A LOT MORE and they started worshio notch and of course, skydoesminecraft. The fanbase probably hadn't allowed OPINIONS, probably the same reason. That has ruined minecraft, SpectralOwl was right.

Youtubers like Super Minecraft Kid and SkyDoesMinecraft just ruin the game! Mostly the kids! I'm 10 years old, but I'm not annoying like the 8 year olds!

9 Undertale

Getting harassed over not liking Soriel or Frans is ridiculous...Tori and Sans are friends that's it also I'm alright with the whole Frans thing as long as Frisk is an adult...but there are people that pair Frisk with Sans when Frisk is a kid. Also people get triggered easily in the Undertale can come when they find out you did the genocide route or call Frisk a he or she...none of the characters are real it is after all a videogame. Not a great game...it was okay but certainly nothing to brag about.

I'm not a fangirl. People need to stop ruining video games! Undertale was a Amazing game, with good story lines, wonderful characters, Catchy music and was well made...but now... it's ruined by it's own fanbase, I think Undertale would've been better off if people just kept their ships to themselves and leave this game alone...

Undertale was a cute little game, but after one playthrough I was done. Some of the fans have blown it out of proportion, and now you can't view a YouTube comment section on any video without seeing a Sans account.

Some friends of mine say they hate it when the played it and loved it. I asked why, and they said that the game is excellent but the fanbase is horrible.

10 Overwatch

There's always an idiot on my team in nearly every game that forces one of their teamates to switch just because there is no Tank or Healer or I just picked Hanzo

most of the people in the fanbase have a Fetish with Tracer & Widowmaker's Butt and do fanarts even before the game was even released and due to that people are making Porn Videos of the game.

The Contenders

11 Pokemon

Well, actually only the ones that continually(and hypocritically) hate on the newer generations for literally no reason other than making themselves feel good.

Decent idea, awful execution, horrible games, bad anime, horrendous fanbase. Never met a single fan I liked or fully respected.

Millennials like the nostalgia. But called a Genwunner. (Even if they might have played gens after the first generation)

Pokemon was ruined by 5 year old 3DS Lovers.

12 Sonic the Hedgehog

Modern Sonic fan brats...Modern Sonic fan brats everywhere. These idiots have NO respect for anyone who dislikes the modern games, and will go out of their way to let the world know how upset they are just because people don't like the modern games. These are the very same losers who sit around in their grungy roach-infested apartments all day long bashing classic Sonic,but if someone dares to say one little negative word about their precious modern Sonic, these fan brats will throw a massive temper tantrum and start bullying/harassing/making fun of those who rightfully hate modern Sonic. I wouldn't be too surprised if these fan brats get triggered by Sonic being short and fat with peach colored arms. I hate the modern day Sonic fans because they act like it's illegal to hate modern Sonic. They NEVER listen to anyone when told that people have a right to hate modern Sonic.

I try to stay away from all of those people who hate the new games. When a bad sonic game comes out, I actually make excuses on how the game is good even though I’m aware that the game is kinda bad. For example, when I got sonic forces, for my switch, the game kind of bored me. But I cleared my mind and just thought about all the good things. I do that with every sonic game, even sonic 06!

Why did Deviantart have to do this? If you look up sonic on deviantart, Chances are you will find one of the many cringy fan artworks, recolors, or fanfictions. Then there is another side of the fanbase that just complains about the modern sonic games no matter what SEGA does.

I hate the fans that create crazy shippings and make crazy fan art

13 Super Smash Bros.

One half is "Melee was better! All new SSB games are trash! " While the other is the Rosalina, Peach, and Daisy wars that I don't even wanna go in to. The rest is just people who take the game too seriously and they will type in Caps Lock if something isn't to their liking, and a tiny sliver is people who just play the game.

Letting the fanbase decide on a (sadly permanent) character was the worst business decision ever

Funny how only about 2% of the fanbase actually plays the games

I love these games (Brawl and onward because I never played Melee). They’re so fun to play.

14 Hello Neighbor

Fgteev, trinity and beyond, etc, turn this game from a horror game, to a kid friendly disaster.

15 Roblox

Roblox is a bad enough but the fanbases ruin it. It's wrong now like people on Roblox have Relationships (even though one of them is like 7 or summat) and disturbing stuff. Roblox fanbases are so bad they ruined Scratch (75% at the least, the other thing is Warrior Cats). They ruined Scratch by saying rude stuff like "this game sucks" one legendary scratcher Splo deleted his account because of them. They are noobs and they start dabbing in 2018 it died in 2016.

I've been playing roblox for about 9 years and I can say that roblox has changed and not in a good way. It was way better back then. Fun, creative, iconic games. groups relevant and forums existed. I remember waiting a whole day to get 10 tix. I loved building in build mode before it was removed. I miss it. Now, it has corrupted a wide majority of spoiled young kids, trollers, hackers, jerks, etc. A third of the fanbase have no grammar whatsoever and are cringey.

I Do not even like this game, and the fans could be part of the reason. That's it.

I like Roblox but the stuff that happens on there creeps me out

16 Star Fox 64

Same problem as Super Smash Bros. Melee; the fans are overly obsessed on one game, but the second you say ANYTHING positive about the other games, they'll hunt you down and attempt to kill you.

17 Teamball.io

Barnsey and Vilso are both admin and they are both idiots, they should be banned or taken their admin away from them

Eastern Europe ruined this awesome game.

Americans tell me to go away.

18 Gacha Life

Very self explanatory. Why? Gacha Life (and Gacha Club) is a game in which the main goal is dressing up chibi anime characters and make stories (or skits) using them. If you like character creator games or want to make your own stories or anime then this game is for you. Now, why is the game bad? Search up either Gacha Life or Gacha Cub on any social media platform and prepare for the cringe incoming. The good part of the community inly make lip syncing or normal stories, while the bad part of the community... do I really have to explain? Pornography, tons of pornography, wannabe edgy kids, homophobes and racists, literally every sin to humanity is the bad part of the community. Now, as an advice: DO NOT SEARCH UP GACHA ON ANY PLATFORM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
