I usually hop on the forum once or twice a day, and I pull up the list of new posts and see what is new. I generally clik on things like new games and any other topic that interests me. Now, when I see a topic about a new game, I get excited, but I have noticed recently, a few people have been posting prank game releases. I am posting this to ask those of you posting such topics to stop.

To start, it is only funny if you are in on the joke. Sometimes, a hand full of forum users have an inside joke, and they forget that some of us might not be aware of the joke, so we have no clue what is going on. I would also like to point out, if you are creating a fake program to play sounds or what have you, and you are passing it off as your game release, you are making malware, and you are no better than someone who creates a computer virus.

To wrap this up, you folks really need to stop. If it was April first, I would laugh right a long with you, but the last time I looked it was October.

I haven't seen any fake games lately.

Malware definition for the curious.
"
software that is specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system.
"
Let's see. Nothing posted seems to do that, so... yeah. I'd settle down with talk of things being malware/viruses.

Apparently, I need to go back to school and relearn how to read. I for some reason thought the Blind Fisherman and Blind angler weren't real games. I am officially an idiot.

Blind fisherman is debatable. I would say Blind angler has more meaningful gameplay.

This seems like an overreaction.  2 is not a pattern.

I think OP is talking about The Blind Fisherman. The status of that one is debatable given how much he is charging for it, but that does not necessarily mean it's a fake game. It's just that it is way too expensive considering what you get when you buy it.

Can we stop with pointless complaining in the feedback room?

2021-10-06 14:57:14

Honestly, a topic like this should be in the Off Topic Room. Maybe even the Stop Using BGT one should also be moved there.

We now have a third. I see a trend.
Kind of getting annoyed with this myself tbh, but yeah complaining and overreacting isn't gonna stop it. We just have to let it run its course.

Make more of less, that way you won't make less of more!
If you like what you're reading, please give a thumbs-up.

Show me someone who knows what's funny and I'll show you someone who knows what isn't.

2021-10-08 14:28:35

@musicalman
True, but I was also being charitable by even counting Blind Fisherman as fake because it probably wasn't, so we're still at 2.

2021-10-08 16:04:40

As I said before, Blind Fisherman isn't necessarily fake, it's just too overpriced.

2021-10-08 16:19:43

He probably did it just because he knew it would work. His topic got 180 posts, 2 more knock off parody games, a mention in a random ass thread that has nothing to do with this, and a very important must read the world is ending stop this right now topic, aka this one. The blind fisherman wasn't the game. Your spread by word of mouth reactions was his real game, and he succeeded, over achieved, fulfilled his goal. If he wasn't being really stupid by messing with blindies on the internet, he could make a killer as a salesman. He knows how to get people's attention, and everyone here just fell for his trap like blind sheep.

Yeah but that's just the standard troll thing of wanting attention. In practice, the Blind Fisherman of used cars or whatever is him going up to a customer and saying "hey, this car is amazing! it doesn't have all those extra features you don't need, it's amazing because it has a steering wheel!" And then he charges $25000 for a twenty-year-old car or something. No, he wouldn't make a great salesman. But yeah like all jokes in this community it's going to get super played out. I was going to do something a little bit similar (although not about fishing) but GCW got there before me which is fair enough.

Both are fake I shall say?

Sorry for bringing back this topic, but @15: blind sheep) wordplay intended.
And @OP: Apart from the games mentioned, if you mean stuff like Rastley, need for weed, etc., those are jokes and should be seen as such.

Greetings and happy gaming, Julian
