So fangames annoy me because I wish they had made new things with that level of effort; the promise of user-generated content in anything with real fidelity (Minecraft escapes, but Mario Maker, Little Big Planet, etc suffer) has curdled into references.
Some of this is I old now (read: was ten when I first used internet), but I wonder how much this is like action figure play. I’ve never cared for toy roleplay and never got much out of action figures; do people enjoy Minecraft skins because they roleplay as another character in this world?
