Ruined? All of them.

Like the websites you visit, the media you consume is not a secret club, nor does it make you special.

based only incel losers gatekeep stuff

Happened years ago, I've found new games and universes to replace the things I've lost. And I will never talk about those games on 4channel. It's a new era and silence is your friend.

0 fanbases have been ruined because of gatekeeping. 100% have been ruined from failure to gatekeep.
Always be wary of
>I like [insert interst here] but...

You best treat it like a secret club or you'll have shitty "fans" come in droves to ruin it. It happens to every game eventually and I mean EVERY game!

yare yare...

Fuck off you esl retard

>games ruined by not gatekeeping them
Most if not all
>games ruined because they were gatekept
None

How the fuck do you even "gatekeep", you can't stop people from playing shit and thanks to the internet they can find other groups of likeminded faggots

Name 86 examples.

Only talk about games you really like in certain places. Keep it to small insulated groups. That's what I've been doing at least.

You keep them outside the gates. Therefor the gates are kept.

Anyone who bitches about being gatekept is exactly the kind of normalfag or SJW vermin that needs to be filtered out.
It's a fool's errand but that doesn't stop me from calling faggots faggots regardless.

League of Legends. My god the game used to have, dare I say it, SOUL

now it panders to gamer weebs, e-girls and MLG wannabe children

they COMPLETELY ruined the artstyle too, holy shit

not video games but I will never forgive normalfaggots and corporate bootlickers for what they did to the entirety of the table top gaming scene

I feel you, for me it's skateboarding.

this "scene" has gotten gayer and gayer every fucking year. i tell people i dont even play games anymore when they ask me in real life

It's not about being special you faggot, it's about keeping the quality high. Your post brings this thread quality down and if you were kept out this thread would've been better, for example.

The internet

nta but how do you manage that when the internet and online communities are ate anybodies fingertips anymore? It isn't like anybody adheres to the classic "lurk before posting" suggestion in current year.

Dark Souls is the biggest one. FromSoft could have kept making games with new ideas instead of cashing in with Dark Souls 2 and 3 then going full mass-market with Elden Ring

its not just mtg its fucking everything, even ttrpgs have become infected with this shit
even /tg/ is unbrowsable because normalfags and redditors have displaced all the original anons so you get the most normalfag posts ever being reinforced by corporate bootlickers

/tg/ is just sad now and its all WotC shilling 24/7. They got taken over by the tumblr corporate types completely.

no

How the fuck did the left card even get approved, is it one of those "super special one time only cards you can only obtain at this special event" cards

On Yea Forums where we can't exactly moderate, all you can do is simply not talk about certain things. There's a guy on youtube who makes goofy videos that get a few thousand views each and all the comments are fans goofing around in a similar manner. All I can do to stop the comments section turning into the sewage that is every other youtube video is to not mention him.

You are the thing the gate was supposed to keep out.

Idk man, we just got one of the biggest skateparks built here and regular dew tour stops. Never would have happened if the skating community was relegated to the 40 year old boomers drinking 40s under the interstate.

yeah, it's part of a lgbt series of reprints

rip legacy/modern/EDH you had a good run until wotc decided to kill the formats to a round of applause lol

for me it's youtube.com/watch?v=A1QM_GxRyz4

Grand strategy games
League of legends

can't risk it

>normalfag comes here
>asks questions but is brazen, with an undeserved sense of superiority despite being a casual

Mal-delivered hexes don't function the same as real ones. Study the old texts and work on your phrasing.

What's the point when devs try to appeal to lowest common denominator?
With shit like gachashit or whatever?

>supposed to
wow, guess all the REEEEing on Yea Forums didn't do shit, huh?

you fucking idiots literally build your own hellish mind prison
I couldn't imagine being triggered by literally everything and everyone

I hope your mom gets cancer

Unironically, Souls. Le difficulty meme killed the creative and risk taking side of the games, so the later games just boiled down focusing on the combat while barely changing it.

thats the point of gatekeeping, you keep normalfags away so they dont become the majority and ruin whatever you like by having the corpos pander to them and ruin the original concept you liked

cmon this isn't even original it's just lazy.

You're right, I was just at a comp this past weekend and there were hundreds of people. I really felt the energy and I didn't see one frown the entire day. Surprisingly few smokers and only a handful of beers. It was nice, however; in competition is sucked. You had heats where these kids could barely fucking make it around the bowl. If there is thousands of dollars at play I'm going to want some competition and actual fucking skating. Fun comp, just... not fun skating, if that makes sense. It's the main reason I don't like those big events. I feel like it drags expectations down.

the entire industry

Too bad you can't keep me out, faggot.

Came to post this. Retarded normalfags lead to them just laser-focusing on muh epic combat and bossfights, and the series totally lost it's original focus on adventure and exploration in favor of shitty boss rushes with fluff in between.

Lol that shit cant be done. Statement like this is about as effective as "Just vote with your wallet lmao"

Rainbow Six Siege was ruined by not gatekeeping. It was one of the best trolling games out there, a blast to play with friends, and it had a real breach and clear gameplay loop.
Then E Sports faggots and Zoomers latched onto it, and words like "toxic" got thrown around, and now 8 years later you have an obese Australian woman and a tranny as operators.

Persona and by extension the SMT series have been plagued by Tumblr e-girls who don't even play the games.
