Lately anytime a game’s been fairly panned, but then gets a month for free on Playstation Plus or is on sale for $3 (Saints Row 2022/Marvel’s Avengers come to mind), that game’s subreddit suddenly becomes a swarm of posts by people playing it for the first time saying “this game’s actually good!” or “I don’t understand the hate this game gets” or stuff like that.

​

So what’s the next game to have this trend? Are we going to get a sudden wave of Redfall fans? Forspoken fans Speak Out? People finding LOTR Gollum to be Precious?
