April 18th, 2024. The day I discovered the $8 co-op game, Content Warning. And it ended up sending me down a rabbit hole. 🔍
Because now Peak has sold 10 million copies (same developer btw)… And the internet has decided to dub this genre... "Friendslop."
Which…feels a bit dismissive, I won’t lie to you lol... 😅
Especially when some of these cheap games with graphics from 2004 are dominating charts while certain multi million AAA titles are... well, not doing great.
So I decided to investigate. What's actually happening here? Why is it working? And why does a portion of the industry seem so weird about it? 🤔
💬 What are your thoughts on “friendslop”? Have you played any? And more importantly... do you even have people to play them with? 😅
