Torillian said: Has the term ____killer ever worked out for the game that was supposedly meant to be the killer? I can't think of a single instance. |
I agree, the use of the term killer is fairly useless and unlikely to ever come true. One thing is apparent is that gamers are by and large a loyal bunch. They are not likely to abandon a favorite for the next pretty face that comes along. In the surprisingly rare cases where a well loved and long established IP dies, it is almost always from self inflicted wounds, not because it was slain by a new rival.
