Drama - Don’t like Goodbye Volcano High? Banned!
5 years ago
Today’s humourous bit of drama comes from Discord. I was banned from a discord server because ...I talked shit about Goodbye Volcano High.
For those unaware, Goodbye Volcano High is a “game” that was announced during the PS5 announcement stream. The trailer shows what seems to be a Night in the Woods if it was a Netflix series.
You can see the trailer here
At time of writing the trailer has 11,000+ dislikes and 2800+ comments mostly making fun of the game.
And why wouldn’t they? The “dinosaurs” look more like dolphins, with the main character even having angel wings. No gameplay is shown, and by the looks of things the plot seems to be typical teen angst of the “school sucks also I’m gay” verity that Tumblr thinks is deep and meaningful (see Life is Strange).
Don’t point this out to the fanboys though. Like I said, I got banned for saying the game looks cringy. Not much to really add to that.
Something I’ve complained about with the “Games as Art” crowd is their stance that not liking their games makes you a bad person. In this case, wanting a game to actually have gameplay is “detrimental to the games industry”. What?
Edit- It gets better, or worse depending on your sense of humour. According to people on the internet, the lead writer for Goodbye Volcano High is the same person who wrote the infamous Kotaku article with underage, uncensored Harry Potter porn in it.

1- That it's a feathered dinosaur. One of the other characters has a feathered tail, but we don't see enough of the game in the trailer to know if it's consistent.
2- It's a sparkledog mary-sue.
It could be both, or neither.
