I dunno, I feel like this is different.
like, I guess I can understand how it might affect the image of metal - marketing things that might not be metal as metal, but idk if it would hurt the actual music.
Actually metal is a good example of gate keeping. It used to have a Nazi problem and then people started gate keeping them out of the community and that was a good thing.To be fair here, gatekeeping Nazis out of your hobby/job/anything is something I think most people can universally agree on as a good thing.
oh, it is different, absolutely - and i also don' think it would hurt the quality of the actual metal music, but what it would do is just make any kind of specialized website / message board about the topic insufferable. basically all of the major "metal" publications online are already ruined due to this - but there's still great music being made.true, I see how that can make the overall culture around the music worse.
I can't explain it but it upsets me.How old are you?
Oh. I think this was just from that black era of Capcom where they gave all their series to random Western devs to make shit games. Konami did the same thing (and still does). Capcom renaissance has been in full swing for a while now.
Probably the same reason gate keeping fandoms pisses me off.
You should want the stuff you like to go mainstream, because it only means you're going to get more stuff.After we locked down for Covid, the water in Venice was clear blue and there were even dolphins seen.
I really wish Game of Thrones had gone mainstream so they wouldn't have been forced to cut it off after a shitty season 8 because of a lack of funding.
I can only speak for myself, but it annoys me because of how much Fallout just perpetuates bad myths about just how bad nuclear stuff is.

Because unless there is some lore I am missing from just watching people play the games, the world is still mostly a brown wasteland over a hundred years after the nukes fell. Even Chernobyl basically became a wildlife paradise less than 20 years afterwards since it is apparently more detrimental to wildlife to have humans nearby than it is to be in an area made radioactive by the worst single nuclear release in history. The ones that take place in what used to be a desert like Vegas have an excuse because its still a desert.
Also, why have humans literally not rebuilt even 1600s level housing, and still live in the open-to-the-air, bombed out ruins from pre-war like a century after it happened? Although that one is probably just Bethesda being lazy.
gatekeeping doesn't make things better for you, it just deprives others of something they might like.
It upsets you because from now on, you're going to encounter people whose Fallout knowledge is limited to the TV series while knowing jack shit about the videogames, the latter of which are probably the only version that you consider to be canonical.
Even if it sticks to the canon for now (I have no idea if it does, because I have never played Fallout nor been interested in the TV series), these types of TV series inevitably deviate more and more from the source material.
So have fun dealing with that.
Its set in-universe, after the events of Fallout 4, and Todd Howard confirmed that it is 100% canon.
Its been mainstream since 3 or 4 lolThis. Ever since Bethesda took over, it's been mainstream.
Amongst gamers only. I fine with that.No, in general.
Its because you used to feel cool and superior having this unique and niche favorite franchise compared to your normie buddies, but now they all like your thing which means your thing is now basic so you aint that interesting.This is 100% what it comes down to.
You should want the stuff you like to go mainstream, because it only means you're going to get more stuff.I'm dealing with a headache right now, so maybe I'm just missing an obvious joke, but in case I'm not, Game of Thrones was MASSIVELY mainstream. It didn't end due to lack of funding (HBO is still putting money into it, hence the House of the Dragon spinoff). It ended because David Benioff & D. B. Weiss were getting tired of the series and wanted to move onto new projects.
I really wish Game of Thrones had gone mainstream so they wouldn't have been forced to cut it off after a shitty season 8 because of a lack of funding.
But do they care about the games?The show was a hit with players and viewers-only alike. You only care about this because you want to gatekeep. No one is taking away from your enjoyment of the games. And Fallout has been mainstream since 3, New Vegas, and 4.
It's always this.Agreed. There's no way it has anything to do with the thing they liked being changed to the point of being unrecognizable.

Although that one is probably just Bethesda being lazy.This is something people take issue with with Bethesda's Fallout. In the first two games, you had multiple thriving towns. In the second game, you even had the NCR which was a full-on state/country.
This. Ever since Bethesda took over, it's been mainstream.
No, in general.
Rule of thumb, if it's a AAA game franchise, it's mainstream. It doesn't have to be on the level of recognizability of Mario or Sonic to be mainstream.
What in the world was changed to make the Fallout TV show unrecognizable?

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But it's possible to stick to what appealed people to the property in the first place, even if the people behind the scenes decide to make changes over time, if only to not let it stagnate.
This really isn't true. Gaming has grown alot but there's still a difference between "mainstream in gaming" and "mainstream mainstream"With the kind of budget AAA games are given, not just in development, but in marketing and merchandising, they're not just hoping hardcore gamers buy the game. They're hoping casual gamers jump on board too. If those games are successful enough to spawn a franchise, while keeping a AAA budget, it's very likely that that game has enough pop culture awareness that you could call it mainstream.
