The online gaming community <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/bernie-sanders-inauguration-meme-video-games\/\">took up\u00a0the Bernie Sanders wearing mittens meme<\/a>\u00a0like many others, for example. However, a somewhat new trend unique to gaming is growing more and more common. That trend is replying \u201cdead game\u201d to a post about a game, but now some are debating on Twitter what \u201cdead game\u201d really means.<\/p>\n<p>What confuses many is that the comment \u201cdead game\u201d is more often than not in response to a post about a game that is, at least to those on the outside, very much alive. The comment is usually directed at games that still have <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/among-us-most-popular-december-dip\/\">player counts in the millions like <em>Among Us<\/em><\/a><em>, Fortnite<\/em>, <em>Apex Legends<\/em>, and <em>Fall Guys<\/em>. So the discussion began, to the point where \u201cdead game\u201d became a trending topic on Twitter today.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fall-guys-surpasses-11-million-units-sold-pc\/\">Fall Guys Surpasses 11 Million Units Sold on PC<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What sparked the discussion seems to be a series of posts from <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/fortnite\/\"><em>Fortnite<\/em><\/a> about fan-favorite character Drift, creating a cryptic message that\u00a0led to a lot of replies of \u201cdead game\u201d in the comments. The phrase then began to trend independently, which led to posts from Twitter users like SikeJayyKayy pointing out popular targets getting over 1,000 likes. If one was to search \u201cdead game\u201d on Twitter, they would find countless others like it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SikeJayyKayy\/status\/1353420512865607680?s=20\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Many took offense with people calling games like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/overwatch-league-2021-season-changes\/\">Overwatch, <\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/overwatch-league-2021-season-changes\/\">which is still an active esport<\/a>, a dead game. The general consensus seems to be that a person who comments \u201cdead game\u201d only does so because they no longer like to play the game for whatever reason, or they know that enough other people feel that way so it will get a lot of likes. It is much more of a popularity contest than anything it seems, according to Twitter user _rookV2.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_rookV2\/status\/1353429793887424515?s=20\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This also spawned a discussion about which games should actually be considered \u201cdead.\u201d There were many suggestions, based on criteria such as whether the developer still releases new content for it, or whether there are enough players to have full online matches. One generally agreed upon definition of a &#8220;dead game&#8221; came to be live-service titles that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/epic-games-shutting-down-paragon\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have been shut down, like Epic Games\u2019 MOBA\u00a0<em>Paragon<\/em><\/a> and the 4v1 monster game <em>Evolve<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/apoorhamster\/status\/1353423372542124032?s=20\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While a bit of a silly trend, this kind of negativity in online gaming communities can really <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/xbox-phil-spencer-console-war-ps5\/\">bring both developers and fans down<\/a>. Thankfully, there seems to be a lot of people calling out the trend, so hopefully people online claiming\u00a0popular and beloved games are \u201cdead\u201d will eventually pass.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/farmville-shut-down\/\">FarmVille Has Shut Down<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The often commented phrase &#8216;dead game&#8217; is put under a microscope as gamers begin to argue what exactly constitutes a &#8216;dead&#8217; game on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":425,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Gamers Are Arguing Over What Constitutes a 'Dead Game' - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"The often commented phrase 'dead game' is put under a microscope as gamers begin to argue what exactly constitutes a 'dead' game on social media."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175950"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/425"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175950"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":175951,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175950\/revisions\/175951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
