Normies.
Once the normies moved in and games went from selling 500,000 to 5,000,000 copies, it was over. Suddenly game communities weren't made and catered to the eccentric geeks and nerds that used to make up the majority, now it's Bob from accounting, the family man, who just really likes the game and talking about it. The eccentric, strange, and weird guys all got pushed out to make room for the millions of normies, because well you see, normies are very uncomfortable with eccentric, strange, and weird people. We can't risk them leaving, because we need their millions upon millions of dollars to maintain our new office we just got but can barely afford. So you better ban anyone that makes some fan art with a skirt above the knee, ban anyone that says a bad word, ban anyone that expresses a spicy political position, ban anyone that makes more than 20 posts an hour, ban anyone that makes a joke that can be construed as hurtful. Ban everyone that steps out of line! Permanently! None of this 3 day, 2 week, 1 month horse shit, PERMANENTLY!
I haven't been a part of a game community since 2014.
