It was fun when it started but then some questionable changes were done to the game that made it worse. Basically, bad development.

names are evading my mind right now, but there are quite a bunch unfortunately
games don't really get bad on their own, so like was mentioned here before, it's typically the result of bad choices by the developer/publisher/etc.
which is why it's not really common with games that ain't continuously updated more or less

Tanki Online, played it as a kid and returned to see it filled with pay to win tactics.
So many games were good and became p2w or otherwise heavily monetised. They usually have little to no updates too.TheKingHenry wrote:

Happened to basically every MMO I played when I was a kid.

well, exactly. "Little to no updates" is still some updates, and that's all it takes. In fact, if game like MMO receives little to no updates, it's typically fairly doomed from the get-go, meaning these kind of attempts at saving revenue will naturally occur. In general, p2w, monetization whatnot anything related to money is likely #1 reason good games may end up in the trashcanKarmine wrote:

in any case, what I was talking about is the good old times when games actually released as complete and receiving an update was more of a rarity. Naturally games like that ain't going from great to gutted. At most how gracefully they age will just vary
Oh yeah that was a long time agoTheKingHenry wrote:

I still play old games from time to time, I wish they finished games before releasing them like they used to. Now when a game comes out you have to wait months or even years to play it.I think Fortnite hits the closest to me, just mostly because the playerbase, fanbase and sometimes not-so good updates from fortnite. And those collabs they make for cosmetics, to make more money, is kind of a soulless idea of how to earn money, but yeah it could be worse I guess ._.

Dancing Line. There are many games in my mind that falls into the same category but this stands out the most as it's one of the most significant stepping stone to my journey to rhythm games.
The game used to be okay, good even, with original song and how devs designed levels. Until they started to go Piano Tiles 2 route and added Faded.
The level design quality was still progressively better, though it couldn't compensate with how the game was handled being worse over time. More ads, more stingy stamina system (normally you'd get 1 stamina after a certain 1-2 min interval in real time, this one forces you to spend all your stamina before triggering the timer, which is like 20-40 mins long, like why), and worst of all, less optimization even in the lowest graphic settings.
Even though CM's removal from GPlay is justified, that also means the devs are slowly sacked in profit and unable to maintain the game with new content to the point of inevitably discontinuation, which is pretty sad.
Also sorry for this wall of text. I was just so sentimental over a dead game.

I was told Apex Legends became bad some time ago, but I play it a lot, so I tend to disagree.
Osu above all else. Game is super fun for the first year or two and then becomes dog shit and the only way you can enjoy it is if you take long breaks and play short spans of time. Amazing game design, peppy /s. Second place belongs to Overwatch.
League of Legends first come to my mind but I decide that the scenario described here did not totally fit LoL. I indeed feel the game become less fun in these years due to a numerous reasons like there are too much mobility and damage, while the game pace has become faster (only subjectively, I do understand there are valid reason why people feel that is good), while there are some other issues such as the imperfectness of the report and punishment system and the client maintenance. However, I have to say, while there are numerous issues with League, it brings so many good musics to a point where people joke that Riot Games is a music company instead of a game developing company and it designs some of my favorite skins and characters in recent years (Seraphine ofc, and a bunch of other skins) which are some good redeeming quality overall. Plus that Riot is also trying to fix the mentioned issues, and the recent durability patch is a nice step to the right direction.

This is Tencent's doing. Kinda sad if you ask me, and they won't do anything, since Riot listens to Tencent.Seraphine IRL wrote:

Plants vs Zombies, thank you again, Electronic Arts for destroying another franchise.
They made the game p2w until some controversies surrounding that is it possible to beat PvZ 2 without p2weblf2013 wrote:

Candy Crush. It used to be an instant hit where the levels were actually challenging and now it's a storyless cash-grab bland pay-to-win loot box filled piece of hot garbage.
Base PSO2 was fun as hell but SEGA killed it for NGS because its stale since it reuses most enemies and it feels like the end game doesn't even exist. Not much has changed in unique content since the Aelio region. I'm trying to get back into NGS but its really hard finding people that are actually leveling in lower level combat zones.
minecraft (we grew up + it lost it's simplicity)
Minecraft is a sandbox game afterall. So it's expected there's gonna be complex game mechanics and such if you're playing on future versions. But even so, I don't think it's bad. I see it as a good thing.-Remi wrote:

fortnite cuz it's slowly getting all those infinity stones
PSO2 was fire, I played NGS when it was in beta and it's not a bad game but it's not PSO2, it's just a decent MMOKaaruumii wrote:
