Banzai Buddy!
My neighbor intentionally installed that shit on his family PC when we were like 15.
A lot of people installed this shit. Because they’re visiting fuckmybeaniebabies.net and a popup is like “Install our spam bar for a chance to win herpes!” And they happily click ok.
Oh look, my grandparents PC circa 2005
I was in the hospital in 2015 and was talking to the person next to me. He realised I was in IT and as he turned his laptop to me he’s like I can’t seem to view websites anymore with toolbars up the wazoo. It was already a throwback even at that time
Edit: wording

And you just know the globe rotates when you hover over Habitats, and the drawers pull out when you hover over those
I feel like some of the old cluttered WoW UIs might be an example of maximalism, by trying to show as much information as possible.

Eve players: noooo… It’s not just a spreadsheet
Veteran WoW players: hmm… I can still see the actual gameplay, lemme add another stat display
And they still wiped.
Eve online mentioned o7
I can’t tell you how many fleet fights I literally disabled graphics and only had the overview and chat. Especially multiboxing, I might have one with graphics. Not necessary for most.
I don’t think I’ve met a single eve player who doesn’t proudly refer to it as a “spreadsheets in space” game XD
