Epic Games Store
The publishers make the call. - Tim Sweeney

Launching sometime in December 6, 2018, Epic Games decided to upgrade their Fortnite launcher (even though they have many games under their belt before Fortnite came out), into a client/launcher that can now sell third-party games, unlike the other digital stores that Epic Games owns that sells tools, like the Unreal Engine. The Epic Game Store was designed in a way gamers can also buy video games for the PC, despite the bare bones and rather primitive features, like their cloud saving. However, this new launcher bought something a bit new, third-party game exclusives; which had little to no presence in the PC gaming environment (But this practice is huge and frequent in the console gaming scene). Also, breaking the industry standard of the thirty percent cut, instead Epic Games Store will only take twelve percent of the revenue (and is only criticizing Valve for doing the standard cut). - Which some developers and publishers see as too much of a cut. The store was made for the developers and publishers first mindset, customers/gamers second or third. The reviews will only be opt in (as a way to prevent review bombing), gamers reporting bugs and technical problems are ticket-based, same with reviews, there's no plans to for forums whatsoever (so users are encourage to use social sites, like reddit and discord, as their forums). Epic Games even stated that most of their games sold in their little store would not have DRMs. Despite the discouragement of the Epic Games Store's barebone nature, they promised that more features down the road, like achievements. Before the Epic Games Store got its rework, Sergey Galyonkin, who also ran Steam Spy as a hobby, also learned what developers want to get out of Epic Games' launcher/digital store.

Allegedly free game|allegedly free games: Epic Games offers free games, though some of them follow a rotation time that's similar to how Playstation Network.

Digital Distribution

DRM: It's a client launcher.

Expy: Of GOG mostly. Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Bugs: Too many to count, like:
 * Subverted a bit, since some games that EGS sell, like Boarderlands 3, have an extra DRM or two.
 * Most of the launcher.
 * During their first sale, one guy can't go gungho and go on a bonanza shopping spree, except for five games. His account got banned.

Going Mobile: The digital client store will be eventually making its big debut in the mobile scene.
 * Though with the same challenging the status quo.

Idiot Programming: See Game Breaking Bugs:

Indie Game|Indie Games

Swiss Cheeses Security: There were reports by some gamers that their accounts have been hacked by some guy in Ukraine or Mongolia, now this was a problem that was persistent back when the launcher sold only first party titles.

No Export for You: Up to the Eleven, on this one.

Obliviously Evil: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney's boasts that his launcher will save PC gaming. When it made things more difficult for pc gaming, actual competition, and other launchers as a whole, like: Vanilla Edition: After comparing to other launchers/digital distribution stores (i.e. Uplay, Steam, GOG, and the great grandma, Blizzard Battle.Net), the Epic Games Store is essentially basically bare bones.
 * Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
 * Though they say that they have a roadmap where they'll add the much needed features, like achievements.

category: microsoft windows, mac OS, other sites, website, video game culture

Epic Games Store YMMV

 * Accesended Meme: The lack of a shopping cart.
 * Which is irony, since the rest of Epic Games' other stores, like the Unreal Engine, have shopping carts that allows multiple purchases.
 * Fortnite|V-Bucks, third-party companies love getting these.
 * Broken Base: The new launcher became like this to the pc gaming community, when Epic Games began doing shady methods to obtain exclusives.
 * Critical Dissonance: Sites, like Polygon, Kotaku, and the mainstream gaming news sites rejoiced that Epic Games will be "competing" against Steam and sticking it to gamers. Whereas gamers hate these sites for their dishonesty.
 * Also, these gaming news sites hate actual gamers and rejoice in any form of censorship, including of games that they hate.
 * Sinister Surveillance: Some of the gamers are suspicious of Tencent, who is one of Epic Games' shareholder that owns 40% of the game company alone and are concern about their influence as well as potential spying. Because Tencent is connected with China's government for to be too close for comfort.
 * Also, that Epic Games Store is spying on a customer's Steam friends without their consent.
 * Fandumb: They accused Steam of taking thirty percent cut from publishers and developers, despite this being the industry standards that tech companies use all the time, like Apple, Microsoft, and etc.
 * Even forgetting or outright ignoring that other launchers, like GOG, itch.io, and others existed and were chipping away at Steam long before Epic decided to make turn their launcher/client into a storefront. And were even chipping away at Steam.
 * Rejoicing of the lack of forums...Until they need to go do a "Help me, obi wan kenobi" in the Steam forums.
 * Hatedumb: Mainly from some console gamers, who are raised by similar practices, like third-party timed exclusives, and doesn't see why PC gamers' are worried about the creeping anti-consumer practices.
 * Subverted, that some console gamers hated pc gaming in general and are happy that a huge rival is getting shot, despite that these same anti-consumer practices will bite them in the butt in the future.
 * Idiot Programming: Epic has a laundry list of examples, like:
 * Having a security vulnerability that allows hackers to steal the accounts of others.
 * No shopping feature, especially for those who like to buy a ton of games, buying five games or more will cause the client to go bonkers.
 * Internet Backdraft
 * It Got Worse: It made the Publishers and Gamers have an "Us vs. Them" mentality, since publishers and some devs think that gamers don't understand the hard work it is to make games, the blood, toil, and management. While gamers see some of those that jump to Epic Games Store as those who would break their promises and are regarded as dishonest scumbags.
 * It made gamers not trust indie companies' crowdfunding projects, due to the last minute switching.
 * Doesn't Trust Those Guys: Some gamers don't even trust Epic Games at all, since the company already displays tone deafness and worst, clueless. Since they made an idiot comment about pc gaming, were the game company blames most or all of them for piracy when one of their games had low sells.
 * No OSHA Compliance: Mainly the game devs that works on Fortnite are submitted to this, by the higher ups.
 * It gets worst during crunch times.
 * To some gamers, Epic Games just:
 * In May 18, 2010, Blame piracy on low sales in the past and hypocritically stated that they will never support PC gaming or gamers that play on PC.
 * Ruining their games, like Unreal Tournament and Fortnite, made worst by an interview that Epic Games doesn't know what to do with them or adding updates that the community didn't ask for, rending their games unplayable/unfun, or worst outright anti-consumer.
 * Crippling the Mac and Linux gaming scene, mainly because Tim Sweeney hates the niche group.
 * Killing off games with high potential, like Paragons (an Overwatch clone), because of greed and "You outlive your usefulness."
 * Snake Oil Salesman: Tim Sweeney comes across as this to those being critical of the new Epic Games Store.
 * Some developers and publishers are view as this, like Deep Silver and the  , who handled the Shemnue 3 Kickstarter, they promised their customers a release at digital stores, like GOG. But at last minute, jumped to Epic Games Store.
 * The Ooblets developers and publishers, who are hostile against customers that they called them "GamersTM"
 * Some indie developers and publishers jumped into Epic Games Store, because:
 * Steam is so clogged up with tons of video games, including asset flips, that their own games will get buried underneath.
 * It's an underdog of a store client.
 * They made a deal already and released their game(s) first in Epic Games Store.
 * It's a change of circumstances, like that wonderful game that's in the works will die without the V-Bucks and deal, the indie company also explained to customers why they're going to switch and can't keep their promises.
 * Playful Hacker|Playful Pirates: Some gamers who would otherwise not pirate or quit pirating, since there's good storefronts to buy games, began to pirate or return to the practice due to Epic Games doing taking "No Export for You" too seriously, their trust with certain video game companies was broken/ a form of boycotting, Epic Games' regional pricing is too much for them to afford (Even though EG is working to fix that somehow), or the game or worse, the Epic Games Store launcher won't work as intended.
 * Somewhat subverted, Some gamers are just pirating and waiting for the timed exclusivity to end, so they can buy it from the storefront of their choice.
 * Protagonist Journey to Villain: Some gamers see Epic Games and the EGS controversy as this. The company used to be awesome and producing memorable titles, but now it's a shadow of its former self.

In-Game Currency
(Note: If trope name doesn't fit, use a name generator. Also, probably better as a useful note)

Money makes the world go round, the same also applies to video games mainly, in the various games and its genre fictional currency is needed to buy or redeem for the necessary things, like horse armor, skins, weapons, and even real world items, like merch from the actual online stores. Virtual money has been in games during its early days and can be required through various means, like finding them (i.e. destroying vases and bench chairs), being dropped, doing side quests for the npcs, opening chest, defeating foes, selling items, opening loot boxes, buying them through microtransactions, using real money to buy the merch from the company's official online stores, or using prepaid cards to buy them.

 Bon Festival (Useful Notes)

The Bon Festival, also known as Obon, Festival of Lanterns, or the Festival for the Spirits of the Dead, is a Japanese holiday that's similar to Mexico's Day of the Dead. The holiday lasts a week commemorating and honoring the dead, especially the ancestors, due to the Buddhist beliefs that the spirits and ghosts of love will come to visit the world of the living, mainly to revist the household altars. These week long holidays were celebrated for approximately 500 years, though the holiday itself is now different. - For example, those the celebrators began using floating lanterns. Various Japanese regions that observe this holiday vary, and now the Bon Festival is celebrated internationally.

The Bon Festival takes place around the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, this is called the "Month of Books" (also known as Fumizuki). Most regions in Japan celebrate this in August (alongside various major holidays, like Golden Week), though deep in certain Tokyo cities, the celebration is more traditional.

Before the start of the first day of the Bon Festival, houses gets cleaned up and food offerings (which are called ozen) for the ancestral spirits, the offerings are placed in front of a butsudan (a Buddhist altar). Paper lanterns are lit inside the houses and eventually taken to their family's grave sites, just to call the spirits back. This ritual is called mukae-bon. Certain regions uses small fires, that are called mukae-bi, as signals and guides to assist the ancestral spirits to find the houses of the living family and relatives.

In the second day, Bon Odori, a folk dance are preformed in parks, gardens, temples, or shrines, the dancers preform at a stage wearing a summer kimono. The kicker is that anyone can join in the dance.

On the last day, families, other relatives, and friends preform the okuri-bon ritual, were they lead their ancestor's spirits back to their graves, by hanging more lanterns, with the family crest, for the return trip. Depending on the regions, fires are used as guide lights.

Since Africa is a vast continent with different cultures and languages. It's no surprise that some of the ancient mythology, its gods, and supernatural creatures are found in various modern works, like video games, books, and tv shows.

Gods
Like with any mythologies, African mythology, has multiple gods that are in one huge heavenly family. Though many tribes and groups refer to the top god as Amma or Olorun, while in Eastern Africans prefer Mulungu.


 * Ala - Mother Goddess, ruler of the underworld, and fertility.
 * Amma - Head honcho god.
 * Cagn - The Creator God
 * Eshu - The Hermas expy/trickster and messenger.
 * Katonda - Also a creator god/father of the gods/king and supreme judge of the universe.
 * Kibuka - The war god.
 * Leza - Creator and sky god.
 * Mujaji - The rain goddess
 * Nyame - A creator god, who is associated with both the sun and moon.
 * Ogun - God of war and iron
 * Olorun - Sky god and supreme deity

Demi-Gods
The demi-gods are more diverse and they have many functions. There's thousands of them, but they varied from culture to culture.


 * Shango - storm god, who controls thunder and lightning.

Trope Poster Museum
We here in All The Tropes love to categorize things, like tropes, wikis, cartoons, tv shows, movies, and such, one day we were thinking: Suppose there's a museum of tropes, that has displays of those greats that represent tropes. Don't worry, they displays won't become alive, as far as we know...It's just for fun.

Please do not confuse with Religion Tropes.

-- Old Version --

We in All The Tropes love to categorize things. Tropes, tv shows, books, and everything that we can get our hands on. So, one day we got to thinking: What would things be like if the world were run entirely on tropes and what they could be? Who would be the Gods and Goddesses? So, we pooled our resources and come up with as much ideas as possible. No condolences, human sacrifices, and payment is required yet...It's just for fun.

Trope Poster Template
Before Submitting a God/Goddess, Read The Rules: These rules are made so we don’t fall like Tv Tropes, their Trope Pantheon is more convoluted and messed up than Call of Duty. - How you ask? You need a spreadsheet to keep track of everything, we want to keep this mainly as a trope museum, having a character that embodies the trope.

1) Use proper grammar at all times. If your English is poor or not your first language, use the sandbox to get it proofread before posting or do not post.

2) If you have any bias for or against a character, keep it out of your writing.

3) Crossovers should make sense, as in having some modicum of logic.

4) Do not do lazy things, like voice actor connections between characters, to write crossovers. If you want to make crossover jokes, there are better ways of doing so.

5) Similar to rule four, please refrain from doing recycled memes. (Example: If making Mario god of mustaches, a meme reference to SM 64 DS where a battle for the best one was a PLOT POINT would be fine, just don't wear out a ton of memes in the process, try to write SOMETHING clever and original of your own).

5) Do not put characters in positions, just because they are in fashion now. Do it because the character(s) best embody a trope.

6) Keep everything consistent.

7) Refrain from trying to write epic fanfiction sagas in All The Tropes, this is a wiki. It’s encouraged that one takes that spark of creativity to fanfiction.net, deviantart, Archive of Our Own, and other writing sites like it to make fanfiction about the ATT's Trope Pantheon, not here.

8) If you’re writing just because a character turns you on, don't.

9) If you’re writing about real people for the Trope Pantheon, use only Historical Domain Characters, especially if they’re larger than life. Don’t use currently living people, especially politicians, we don't want problems.

10) Reminder: Careful if you're bringing over a god/goddess from Tv Tropes, please do not copy word for word, otherwise it's copyright infringement. Say it in your own words. - Unless you also post on Tv Tropes and you're bringing over your own edits. In the latter case, follow the obvious regardless.

-- New Deity Template --

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames/Fan Nicknames)
 * An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
 * Rank: This can range from god, demigod, lesser god, and whatever status the Greek Fates has.
 * Symbol: An image, icon, or item that's used to represent the deity.
 * Alignment: Good, evil, anti-heroic, and so forth. If one cannot do that, one can use the Dungeons & Dragons character alignment, the ATT Pantheon is kinda base on D&D after all.
 * Portfolio: The Trope/tropes associated with the character
 * Domains: Things this character has influence over.
 * Allies: Gods that are the said god's Pantheon friends/allies
 * Rivals: Gods that are the said god's Pantheon rivals (Or worst, foes).
 * Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon have relationships with each other (examples including Enemy Mine, Friendly Enemy, etc.)
 * Now add random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights, etc.

Cheagal Fonts
Whether a character is a precocious child, team pet, or an alien ends up writing on behalf of the adult, legal guardian or human adult. Doing this gives results that is heavily implied that the youngster is either a genius and wise beyond his years, has better handwriting, or the adult in question’s writing is similar to how a child writes, has average/ horrible handwriting, has the mindset of a child, alien, or a pet, or worst, the immaturity of a child. This can be played for humor or can be a very nice save on the child’s part, in a more serious story, especially in thrillers, horror stories, and action-adventures.

Compare and contrast ‘Signature Style,’ ‘Creator Thumbprint’, and Most Writers Are Adults.

Examples


 * The trope namer came from Tales of the Abyss, the cheagal in question, Mieu, tries to fill in for Luke with writing in his daily journal, the other characters inquire about Luke’s penmanship, implying that Fabrve’s writing is questionable or Mieu knows how to write human.

Anime/Manga

 * In a Naruto filler, it turns out that the titular character completed the latest Make Out Paradise novel, which made the shojun think that the rival leader send him a peace gift. This implied that Jirarya has the writing skills of a pre-teen or that Naruto knows how to write (Since the titular hero also is the editor of Make Out Paradise series).

Video Games

 * In Tales of the Abyss, when Mieu notices that Luke was skipping days of writing in his journal. The young cheagal took matters in his own paws, resulting in some hilarious reactions from Luke’s friends.
