It was never about "games." It has been and always will be a confluence of the jpgs Mike and Jerry want to make and the jpgs that fans want to consume.
In any case, I challenge you to go to the strip above and hit the back button. Your noticing of when it's not about the thing you want (teh gamez) is just confirmation bias.
would you like to ask for a refund
It's doubled since the beginning. First ten comics in the archive, 1/10 not about video games.
A strong Lovecraftian / Eldritch / Occult influence is just a part of the whole. Sometimes we get comics about vidja games. Sometimes we get comics about dark rituals.
fuckin' lmao
more things need to have the premise of the classic Dungeons & Dragons cartoon
Outrage, or an excellent opportunity to go through the archives?
For, y'know, posterity, of whatever...
Outrage? I'd file mine under "mild bemusement" over someone being annoyed enough to (apparently repeatedly) gripe about such a thing. Like someone saying to Van Gogh, "Enough with all the dots. Remember when you used to do watercolors? And I'm tired of flowers. Draw me a picture of something else. And then give it to me for free."
It's just so weird. Along with the people who come in and feel everyone is as deeply interested in how Gabe isn't drawing the hair or the faces the way they would, if they had artistic talent and could be bothered to produce regular work.
It isn't outrage or even a tiny spark of anger. It's just smdh and wondering about human nature.
(Now you'll probably comment that your comment didn't call for an entire page of explanation. I'm not saying you'd be WRONG.)
Cartoon characters have a long tradition of not having 5 fingers. It think it's weirder to have 5 than 4.
Holy crap, you're right! It was such a major change that I never even noticed!
(Sorry folks, don't mean to come off as being so crabby. Again, I feel obliged to tag the emotion on this one. I'd label it as "gentle taunting.")
Oranges are bad,
Lemons are rude,
Bananas are perverted,
And kumquats are just, plain evil...
