Youtubers will go like "what if there was a video game that wanted to torture you personally in real life and make you suffer" and then cover some obtuse indie roguelike with tricky mechanics rather than the obvious candidate, league of legends - ThreadSky

Unless you work in infosec, then it's World of Warships

Feague of Hegends...

Lear and Lunger...

mimikyuute.bsky.social•10 days ago

that would require league of legends to be a video game in addition to being a torment vortex

See I thought you were gonna say something about gacha games, but I'm still with you on the point you actually made.

albae.bsky.social•9 days ago

League became a gacha recently
It already has the most predatory pricing / ratios of every popular gacha

malonkey1.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah I did not know this because I blessedly don't play League.

albae.bsky.social•9 days ago

I am praying for you that it stays this way

You leave @indeimaus.bsky.social out of this.

atriflemiffed.bsky.social•9 days ago

I would personally nominate War Thunder because none of the people I know who play it feel anything but complete loathing towards it (but still continue playing regardless)

teothebaldo.bsky.social•9 days ago

I don't even play lol, but i watched arcane season 2 and that was enough to send my soul into the depths of hell

fluxogames.bsky.social•6 days ago

You missed out that League of Legends invokes worst levels toxicity in people.
Probably one of the most toxic game I have ever played.

P.s. still had some fun back in the day

thundalarchsys.bsky.social•10 days ago

My brain expected Eternal Darkness as the end. Fantastic punch for it

zenguin.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ah, I see you encountered "Fear and Hunger"

breadedhamster.bsky.social•10 days ago

I remember watching ten seconds of gameplay footage for league and I took so much psychic damage that my tulpa hanged himself.

breadedhamster.bsky.social•10 days ago

I didn't even know they could die.

Pathologic?

Just look what it did to Sam Bankman-Fried

Also, they skip the obvious microtransaction hell mobile games.

shcdemolisher.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yep! Roguelites give you progress so it’s not exactly suffering. League however… yeah that is suffering.

tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social•10 days ago

I said roguelike with a k because I mean the version without progression between runs of any kind

shcdemolisher.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ohhh, those. Yeah those suck.

barony personally took my cat out back /s

iamowen.bsky.social•10 days ago

You are absolutely right!

kiraculous.net•9 days ago

but it's not the game itself which tortures you in league, it's the other players

theotherspeakman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Counterpoint: The players act like that even when playing against AI, so the game is fostering it even when the stakes are as low as they can go.

I don't know what DOTA was like in the Dial-Up & DSL days but surely it wasn't this toxic!

kiraculous.net•9 days ago

no, the players act like that because that's how they learned to play or were trained into playing by other players. there are other mobas that don't have playerbases who are that toxic so the toxicity isn't due to the game genre.

zanestheargent.bsky.social•9 days ago

I will argue the devs do so as well BECAUSE they are too players and too much fans, too much drug dealers addicted on their own supply.
