Every now and again you see a dying gasp in the other communities.Then again, I still have no clue on how to measure the public view of CoC2. Here it's disliked, on Forums it's adored, afaik, not sure about 4chan or other big communities. I don't know if people here are minority who dislikes the game or not. Plus, it's important to remember that people in general are waaay more prone to complain than to praise - I doubt a person who has a great time with CoC2 will come here to praise it... but if they had an awful time, then... well it's only a matter of time before they leave a complaint post.
The footprint on reddit is nonexistent and most discussion of people about the game in passing
Heh. Tobs is apparently the 'fox cuck'. Ha.
A few years ago you'd have people going to bat for the game in general. Not so much now.
4chan had a general that slowly died as the quality of the game declined and TiTS went on conversion hiatus and they ran out of things positive to say so every thread was just a negative feedback loop as they circled the drain.
The twitter footprint is nonexistent at this point and is just the discord community + a dozen or so artists retweeting their commissions/fan art.
A quaint very old small forum I visit went from positive to dismissive over the course of 2 years.
Most of the communities for other text based games both here, on steam, and discord range from neutral and apathetic to hostile and dismissive. While discussion occurs in the most sterile phlegmatic method imaginable, usually revolving around the "can't compare" and "offers something different" non-committals before the conversation fizzles out.
Generally it's not a good idea to gauge a games quality by ever directing with any of it's 'main' communities.
Babylon's Fall, massive flop that it was, had an extremely positive 'main' community on reddit, discord, and the steam forums. So does Forspoken now that I think on it. I owned both. (Please, save your jester emoji's for somebody more deserving.)
Nobody is going to go against the grain in an active conversation on most websites due to aggressive dogpiling. This website included.
