I saw @jessfromonline's post about how Atomic Heart lost a demographic of trans girls and it kinda got me thinking about how quickly that game left the sphere, it feels like. Then it kinda got me thinking about other games as well.
It's been three weeks since Atomic Heart launched. In that timeframe up to it I had seen a lot of content, from stuff talking about the hot communism robots to the problems with the game.
Aside from brief activity on the gaming subreddits I follow, Jess' post is literally the only thing I've seen about the game since then, for real. I don't use twitter anymore so that might skew the view for me a little, but, it certainly feels odd to say the least.
Hogwarts Legacy meanwhile, released earlier than that, almost a month ago now. It had longer activity going on but I only see it in small spurts now.
Literally the only thing I see people still bring up consistently and constantly is Elden Ring, and it's been almost a year now. And it just got an announcement for DLC and I'm sure people will start blowing up with that again.
I'm sure someone who's got better attention on things than I do will counterpoint this or point out why it feels this way, but honestly it's just a weird obersvation that I felt the need to write down in between writing stories about strange, surreal worlds and shit
