Five Nights at Freddy's (HHN 34)

[HHN Maddux]

It really is interesting to see so many mixed opinions on the (rumored) IP lineup, with quite a few saying this doesn't seem like a good year with lackluster IP, meanwhile for me at least, this is by far the most excited I've ever been. Never thought I'd say my top 3 most anticipated houses are IPs (assuming they're coming of course).

It's been mentioned before - and of course there are exceptions. But most of the kids that grew up with FNAF are in their 20s now.

It doesn't feel like it, but FNAF has existed for over a decade.

Right, this is what gets me the most. People are acting like this franchise is Baby Shark or Cocomelon.

Stranger Things released in 2016 and came to HHN in 2019, meaning someone who was ten at the time (and that's relatively young to be watching that show) was only thirteen when the first HHN rolled around. FNAF 3 was released in 2015 (let alone FNAF 1 in 2014), which means that same ten year old would now be 20. These two things aren't even remotely in the same ballpark. Is the demographic younger? Absolutely. Does that mean we should resent it? Nope.

I also just find it weird to look down on teenagers as if most of the people here didn't sneak out to watch horror movies at a friend's house or on their parent's VCR. (Yeah, dating myself a bit.)
