If you think about it, any genre of gaming can be considered niche, too, and it isn’t exclusive to fighting games only. Dragon Quest is a pretty well known JRPG, yet I used to be hearing Smash players asking who Hero is when he was announced for SSBU. I feel gaming, like any other form of entertainment, has become more and more segmented these days. Unless you’re big into a certain genre, there’s no guarantee you’ll know every single title outside of the heavy hitters. In fighting games’ cases, it’s SF, MK, and Tekken that’s widely known, and it seems like it’s only a matter of time till GG catches up with the big three. I feel like GG is becoming more popular than KOF since Strive came out, while KOF continues to stagnate from the looks of it. Not just KOF, actually, but also any other SNK games. Take CotW for example. Considering its marketing, you’d believe it was gonna sell better than KOF XV, right? But no, it flopped. Flopped so hard that the SNK CEO chose to step down not long after the game’s initial release. Kinda sad, actually, since KOF and Fatal Fury partly inspired GG, and GG used to be this (sorry) very [i]niche[/i] fighting game that was only popular within the FGC, yet now the former feels a bit behind the latter when it comes to sales and, I supposed, mainstream appeal.

And I understand. Life happens. I can’t be active all the time, too. Sometimes, too much can be too much, y’know? I can even get exhausted from hopping from one RP plot to another all at the same time lol. Maybe someday, we’ll get to figure it out.
