Casuals no longer wanted to be casuals.
Turns out they were still casuals.
Bentley Ramirez
Please do not post rare Kaguya.

Good marketing. Casuals always fall for marketing.
They sold the game as a "hardcore" experience. Ionically, that's what casuals like to hear.
Asher Stewart
They were under the illusion it was a difficult game due to gaming journalists telling them so
Caleb James
Their ‘alt’ celebrities are into eastern videogames so they must follow
Josiah James
Media attention. Simple formula:
(media attention = hypetrain victims) + (average hypetrain normie =shit-tier)
= lots of casuals in the game
Sebastian Cruz
In the west the game was heavily marketed as being very very hard and for manly men. Turns out the game isn't actually hard at all so when you eventually beat it, because, again, not hard, you get bragging rights for conquering the hardest game of all time.
Not shitting on the game by the way, but I still don't get this "oh no so hard!" meme, it's just another goddamn game.
Levi Lee
Nothing, there's just so many casuals now that they spill over into everything. If a game is known to casuals then they will play that game.
Austin Clark
It attracts underage tryhards, wanting to prove themselves. Casuals don't play games like DaS.
Gabriel Miller
Blame the marketing for selling the game as the hardest ever.
Asher Mitchell
because faggots memed it to be some of the hardest video games ever
Anthony Watson
It's simple. Elitism in a game that has easy to learn mechanics but punishing gameplay. It helps that it doesn't hold your hand like every game does.
Michael Price
Correct, real men play osu.
Jacob Barnes
Bentley Robinson
>he doesn't know
Colton Roberts
What's the fake fall thing? I've never experienced that.
Brody Wood
It got popular because everybody kept talking about how it's a good game.
Juan Bennett
What I don't get is that why is that animu popular. Judging from the summaries I keep hearing, it's nothing but your average high-school normalfag setti-- oh.
Lucas Reed
When you are almost going to sleep and you have a quick dream that you're falling and your whole body jerks
Austin Hughes

The Dunning-Kruger effect.
Next question?
Noah Cruz
never had that related to falling. I always have something fall onto me, like I'm in a dream room and the ceiling collapses on me. or someone swings a pendulum/ hammer at my face.
Isaac Carter
Look up hypnagogic jerk
Parker Lopez
It was the "in" thing
Sebastian Myers
kaguya is so cute i love her
Noah Taylor
it's fun
Thomas Hill
Is that Kaguya?
That's a comedy, and it's funny. Might explain it.
