From revolutionizing indie to irrelevancy and gooners, what happened to FNAF?

Ah the lifecycle of every enterainment property that isn't multiplayer slop, a sudden raise to relevancy and than a step decline in popularity to the point of which the only people who are left are coomers who masturbate to the characters for some reason, In a way it's very sad how time erodes everything

Fuck off, FNAF did an irreparable amount of damage to the horror game industry.

i feel like you maybe aren't old enough to remember the ocean of slender clone slop that we were stuck wading through before fnaf came out
don't get me wrong, slop like bendy and hello neighbor wouldn't exist without fnaf but at the same time it didn't do even half as much damage as you seem to think it has

Roxy is where the series peaked.

SFM FNAF porn has been a staple since FNAF 2

I seriously want to know how many zoomers and gen alphas did she turn into furries.

The Eight Pages at most spawned a few 15 minutes games about collecting mcguffins in a dark place.
FNAF started a whole industry about 2deep4you lore with cheap jump scares.

This is my wife. You're correct that Security Breach is where FNAF peaked. Truly a masterpiece of a game.

Franchises shouldn't go on forever, but /v/ isn't ready for that conversation.

if by fnaf you mean poppy playtime you're right on the money
fnaf has always been trying to tell a story, with varying degrees of success due to scott cawthon's less than stellar writing talents
poppy and everything that came after it treats game theory revenue as gospel and markets/designs their games accordingly
that's the main reason why of the fnaf imitators, poppy is basically the only one that's still looked on favorably by the indie horror community

Story and lore contrivance mixed with plain old bad writing. The Mimic would be interesting in his own series with his own characters, but he's being used to rape every other character and plot event people thought they liked. Mark my words, the next game is going to reveal that this skinny bugman has actually been impersonating Henry for years, or it's actually Michael who really died in SL, just some crap like that to further shit on whatever goodwill still exists.
