Does anyone else feel like the game's gotten too boring?

[MaxiBash]

I've been around the game since 2019 (14 days after the release of the final SAGE 2019 demo specifically), but seeing it explode in popularity and seeing how saturated the community has become really changed my view on the game as a whole, with me avoiding the game and the community entirely in some cases.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

The game hasn't changed. So just stop thinking about it. Unless you somehow have a bad habit of avoiding anything that gets popular or something.

Spoilers aside, I don't let other people's comments ruin my enjoyment of a game.

And Nintendo fandoms aren't full of ultra nerdy soyboys, giga perverts and dumb kids?

There's a contradiction somewhere in this comment....

Honestly I've seen worse communities tbh, it's not like we've had people giving someone sewing needle-laced cookies over shipping wars or doxxing someone for drawing peppino skinny or anything like that, and nobody soaking themselves in yellow sharpie ink to cosplay as Vigilante (yet)
As for the game itself, there's some crazy good mods out like Create Your Own Pizza and Lap 3 that have given a ton of new life to the game for me

Facts. I think this community is better than average. At least the steam forums are chill.

You are experiencing what I feel with ULTRAKILL. Been around for it ever since the early access release in 2020 and seeing some of the memes people make is just . . . ugh. Not to mention there's barely any original concepts in the jokes those kinds of people repeat constantly.

At least Pizza Tower is genuinely the best platformer that has come out for the PC.. maybe ever.
ULTRAKILL is one of the most overrated single player shooters that has come out in the last couple of years (maybe "come out" is the wrong word cus its in early access but you know what I mean)

Theres a great solution to that: Judge its merit by just not looking at the community.

Literally that simple

NGL looking at a community allows you to avoid some serious shovelware-tier games.

How do you want me to stop thinking about it when unrelated places keep talking about it? I'm surprised with how popular the game's gotten, but that only resulted with some big time brainrotting kids entering the community. It's not all bad, but for someone who's currently working with the Pizza Tower Wiki staff in an attempt to transfer the wiki to a better host, seeing the logs just makes me feel disappointed and sad, because the wiki is flooded with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ uploads, raids pretty much daily at this point, and with zero interest from the wiki owner to keep going aside from *one* admin who's on the verge of losing it too, I've just minimalized as much activity as possible. Not to mention the people that continued asking stuff about the game's builds on my Internet Archive page, YouTube (which I've attempted to scrub now) and Discord, which just adds to it.

The goal of this thread was to see if people felt the same way I do. I guess not. The discussion ends here then.

Thats a valid concern but it still has nothing to do with the quality of the game itself

Its sad that your favourite community got ruined like this. Seems its time to just move on.
You said "unrelated places" but all of those things are tied to the game.. I've not seen a single mention of Pizza Tower the past few months without actively looking for videos on the game or browsing the forums.

Like I said before, never said the issue lies with the game. Should've worded it better.

A game not having good replay value doesn't mean it's bad. This was a single player indie game that gave me a good solid 100 hours of playtime but after that, yeah, i guess it did get a bit boring but i had an absolute blast with it. I burned myself out because i wanted to play it forever.
