You have the Infinity Gauntlet with all 6 Gems, which game/franchise do you remove from existence?

You came across the full Infinity Gauntlet and have the ability to remove anything from existence.

Which game/franchise/studio do you eliminate from existence (as in remove every iteration of it and every mention/every social impact it ever had/every technological impact it ever had from all reality)?

Personal Choice: PUBG

Reason: It spawned a whole new wave of toxicity among players and popularized the Battle Royale format, which is great up until everyone milks the format to the ground. The universe is a better place without it.

None. Every game deserves to exist. I wouldn't delete people's hard work just because of petty reasons. Even if the game is complete garbage.

None. Even if I don't like some games/franchises, they deserve to exist because other people enjoy them.

Without it, Road Rash would be EA's primary driving franchise with many sequels, and they already would have made more Burnouts. I bet Criterion would be whole and in a much better spot as well.

None. That would just be petty.

I might remove the word "toxic" from gamers' vocabularies though.

What the fuck am I reading. Just don't play these games then? Seems easy.
And removing it from existence won't fix toxicity among players. You should do something about that with your Infinity Gauntlet and let people enjoy things you don't.

That's the mindset which leads to the ignorance of our software legacy. So many titles for antique platforms were lost because they were not considered "important enough."

And I should not be saying that wanting entire studios to disappear is a shitty attitude from the viewpoint of a developer — a person with a rent to pay and ambitions to realise.

So you want to remove games franchises that others love, purely because you dont like them?

Ok.

I'd erase Lawbreakers, just so Cliffy B doesn't have to be attached to that embarrassment any longer.

So you would remove a game a TON of people love just because you don't like it? That's actually pretty selfish of you.

Dark Souls, so everything stops being called "the Dark Souls of X".

Or, you know, none, because even if I don't find enjoyment in something, it doesn't mean that others can't.

Probably that ET game, since it was a waste and a whole bunch of copies of them were in landfill somewhere.

Whichever game popularized the practice of deliberately inserting things that are not fun into your game, such as long waits or grinds, purely so that you can offer microtransactions to avoid them.

I'd like to remove that practice, but not everything associated with the series that had it.
