NEW SURVIVAL GAME JUST DROPPED
ALREADY RAN
OUT OF THINGS TO DO

Overview

This meme uses a recognizable animated depiction of an overweight bored gamer sitting at a computer desk to joke about a common flaw in modern survival video games: even immediately after a new survival game releases, there is very little meaningful content, so players quickly run out of things to do in the game. The text at the top and bottom of the image spells out this joke directly, leaning on the audience's immediate recognition of the relatable gamer character.

Origin notes

This meme originates from Reddit, with the original post title given as 'You know exactly who this is', referencing that this specific caricature of a gamer is instantly recognizable to most internet users. The character template is a South Park-style cartoon drawing of a real internet figure, and the meme was edited using the Imgflip meme generator. It is a popular viral meme used to criticize shallow content in modern open world survival games.

This is a two-panel comparison reaction meme. The top left text reads "WHEN THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPERS WORKED ON A GAME", paired with an image of a group of men leaning forward, cheering, pumping their fists, and pointing excitedly at something off-screen, showing extreme positive engagement. The bottom left text reads "WHEN THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPERS LEFT THE GAME", paired with an image of the same group of men leaning back with blank, bored, unimpressed and disappointed expressions, showing zero positive engagement. The meme satirizes the common trend of AAA video game franchises being high quality, exciting and well-received when developed by their original core teams, but dropping sharply in quality, becoming boring and underwhelming for players after the original developers leave the project or are replaced.

A two-panel meme contrasting reactions to game announcements. The top panel features the text 'A NEW GAME BY UBISOFT' alongside a group of men in a theater-like setting displaying bored, indifferent body language: slouching, sitting passively, and looking uninterested. The bottom panel contains the text 'A NEW GAME BY EX-UBISOFT DEVS' with the same group exhibiting intense excitement: pointing, leaning forward, cheering, and fist-clenching. The humor stems from the stark contrast in reactions, implying games developed by former Ubisoft employees are more anticipated or exciting than those from Ubisoft itself.

His fist breaks through the drywall, leaving a hole, and he becomes splattered with blood from the impact. The text above the footage reads "Game ends on a cliffhanger Studio shuts down". The meme conveys the extreme anger and disappointment gamers feel when a video game they enjoy ends on an unresolved narrative cliffhanger, and no sequel will ever be released because the game's development studio has shut down, a common occurrence that many players can relate to with multiple real world examples coming to mind.
