It will die when people learn to innovate and make what they like than caring what others think.

Oh don't worry, it's been dying from the very start. Soon all roguelites will just be called roguelikes and you'll have no idea which genre is which.

No one here knows or even remembers what DayZ is.
Brody Smith
unironically curious when the meme started
was it binding of isaac?

Jonathan White
Andrew Allen
Pretty sure it started with Spelunky
Kayden Scott
Just don't play them? Just play something else?
Connor Young
To me it started when a bunch of big esports league celebs would play spelunky in-between matches on stream. Not saying that's 100% the cause but that's when I started to notice them being played more and getting attention in other places.

Is it just me or does this term literally mean nothing? The only trait i've seen games of this so called genre have in common is that you lose a considerable amount of progress upon losing. A rogue-lite can still be anything from a fps to a strategy card game.

if you have autism, no subtle differences mean anything

This is why you have purists like and retards like If somebody asks for a roguelike, you know every detail of the type of game they're looking for. A roguelite refers to literally every genre of game as long as it has some loose form of permadeath and randomly generated content.
Nathaniel Cook
Rogue lite is just the absence of check points.
Samuel Kelly
So why then everyone hates it? Because Any Forums is full of normalfag casuals?
Juan Fisher
it's not a rigid genre per se. it's more like a prefix that describes the game with more detail. similarly how you'd say pixel art RPG or singleplayer-only fps and things like that. saying a game is a rogue lite means absolutely nothing.
Andrew Russell
It's literally all this guy's fault
Angel Phillips
literally who
Juan Adams
He made Isaac which is probably one of the most popular and influential games in the genre
