Last month it was all about fall guys. Everyone talked about it, made memes about it.

Now, nothing. Fall guys isn't dead, but no one talks about it or makes memes anymore. Now it's all about among us, which is crazy because it's a two year old game. The mobile version has increased by 40 million downloads in two weeks, it's free, and they play with the pc version people. It just puts an ad after each match.

Yeah, I was wondering why Among Us is suddenly so popular right now when it's two years old. Literally every streamer out there is playing it right now

You're right. Didn't think of it that way. But I'm also too old to understand why people watch streamers so much, though I don't hate on them.

What's so sad about that? Streams are just free advertising. Among Us and Fall Guys wouldn't be popular if they weren't good, no matter how many streamers played them.

I can't think of a game that flew under the radar for years before exploding into the public consciousness like Among Us has.

basically a big spinning hammer thing they called Big Yeetus will randomly appear and you can use it to launch yourself flying forward or something

Lol nah. It basically is gaming now. Generally speaking, people won't spend $60 on a game they don't perceive as having a lot of bang for their buck. And a 10 hour linear game is just not gonna sell much unless it's a huge ip like resident evil and stuff.
