    Sorry, Musk. But the order goes like this:

    MySpace - Demon Souls, most popular precursor,aid a lot of the groundwork for the following series.

    FaceBook - Dark Souls, filled with mad and hollow undead all under the maniacal fist of an uncaring madman who refuses to let the world progress

    Tumblr - Bloodborne, the truth lies just behind the veneer for those who can see it, the porn is still there.

    Reddit - Lies of P, about half the people who said they played it actually did. Theres so much random shit shoved in here, is that Russian architecture with an old British cop bot? Uh, gnosticism?

    Instagram - its actually just the Painted World of Aramis, not a separate game. A beautifully painted, but fake, world that is degrading as time goes on

    Twitter - Derelict, low-res models that attempt to look like their inspiration but not well. Developed on an existing platform that already has a shitload of users. Tries to get you to spend money unnecessarily. Is free to use.

    Bonus
    Lemmy - Hellpoint, faithful to the original, with some unique features. Futuristic designs still impose a feeling of dark forebodence, slay cosmic gods like flies and bring humanity to apotheoses.

      What about train station graffiti? Or Wikipedia discussion pages? Or the linux mailing list?

      You have really opened a can of worms we here.

        Train Station Graffiti - Ghouls & Goblins, the original hard mode, get hit once and you’re done for, a true work of art (at the time)

        Wikipedia Discussion Pages - Blasphemous, ancient and unknown beings wield extreme power over the common populace, theres a lot of blood and religion

        Linux Mailing List - Salt and Sanctuary, an imaginary amalgamation of the real world, most people who end up here are castaways, the one with the most salt rules

        I’d say the quality matches, as well as the dark patterns. And I believe the goal of buying twitter was of a double pronged nature. Disrupt the huge enclave of leftists there and buy a platform already saturated with users, which is why you make a Roblox game in the first place. The users are already there looking to play shitty games. (Not you tho Creatures of Sonoria, I love you even if you are predatory).

      I wouldn’t say it’s really that fateful, it’s pretty similar, but there’s still some differences and things missing.

        I might be operating off of fresh vibes with that one. It was the most recent soulslike to consume me when it was on sale for like 4 dollars. Highly recommend.

      Probably “Look at me, I’m the cool uncle that can reference some videogames! Nevermind that I evicted Grandma”

    I dunno, twitter was more a stardew valley running the Joja route; but then it turned into X which was more of a Concord - so much money pumped in and so little quality.

    X is Toki, something that only the weirdest weirdos can find any value in it but anyone with a bit of self love will immediately avoid.

    Instagram is just Farmville over and over.

    Reddit is Cookie Clicker, but you’re a worker in the cookie factory.

    I am trying to think of a mildly entertaining game that was ruined after being purchased by a third party. Maybe Populous? Musk is definitely EA.
