I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Minecraft.

Notch proved that you don't have to finish a game to become a billionaire.
Notch proved that you don't have to keep your promises to your old fans once the gravy train starts rolling.
Notch proved that you don't need to put effort into graphics, or design, or coding, or anything, just as long as your game is popular with today's crowd.
Notch proved that little kids will buy anything labeled 'popular'.
Notch proved that when people try to fix your game (modders), you can take their ideas and not give them credit (tall grass, beds, horses, etc.)

There's also the horrible community that sprung around Minecraft and the fact that most LPers got big off viral Minecraft videos. You can argue that the decline of vidya started before Minecraft, but MC was the catalyst.

This is the closest thing I have to a reaction image on this computer.

He made at least 20 million before it was officially released (Nov 11, 2011). The billions came from the Microsoft deal, but 20M is still a shitton.

Also, it's not fucking finished just because the fat fuck slapped a v1.0 on it. When 1.0 came out, villagers didn't do a single thing. The game is still far from complete since Mojang keeps adding shit while everything else is half-baked and not fleshed out.

I'm still mad. I bought the game in alpha for $15, and I'm still fucking mad.

But anon, if it wasn't for Sonic and Sega (and yes, I can't believe I'm saying this) today would be a worse future for videogames because Nintendo would have became a monopoly and the industry would be dead after a second videogame crash because of this.

Doesn't matter if some other game did it first. Bioshock was the first one to start the CRAZE. It was the first mainstream and critically acclaimed game to incorporate story to such a degree. It was the main instigator.

Again, neither of which started the craze. Nobody batted an eye for movie vidya when those games were released. It was all because of Bioshock.

not really a game, but a mod.

DOTA.

If it weren't for DOTA, then RTSes wouldn't've died so quickly, "esports" would still be a laughing stock of the video gaming world, Arena FPSes wouldn't have been dethroned as the "go-to" LAN party game, and Streaming wouldn't be nearly as popular as it currently is.

Of course there are a ton of things that DOTA/MOBAs in general didn't start, but only made worse, like FP2 games flooding the market and the abundance of microtransactions and trading that fuels a special kind of autism in those communities. Plus the whole toxic nature of the gaming community has somehow amplified tenfold thanks to MOBAs alone.

So Perfect Dark? That game was hot garbage but people praised the ever loving fuck out of it for reasons I will just never understand. The thing ran at like 10 fps at best, even with the expansion pack, it controlled like shit, and most of the mission objectives were god awful and could be failed without ever knowing what you did wrong. Sure, the multiplayer was kind of fun, but the god damn laptop gun and farsight broke it to pieces.
