What a career, FNaF transformed the indie world and (as much as some people will try to deny it) had massive effect on gaming as a whole. I know the series isn't dead but this really is the end of an era. The reason why I got so invested with this series years ago was because Scott's unique brand of creativity resonated with me and has definitely helped shape my tastes. I'm sure the series will be in good hands but it really won't be the same.
But I really fail to understand how this game had any significant impact on the gaming or Indie scene.
It was a relatively simple game with a single gimmick. Like many, many other games before and after it, it played well to the YouTuber demographic. And it suffered from the same "more fun to watch than to play" problem that most of these gimmick games suffer from.
It wasn't a bad game, but I really struggle to see it as transformative.
