Crappy Games Wiki (2020-2022)

Crappy Games Wiki was a wiki founded in 2013 which talked about games that were poorly recieved. It was the first reception wiki to ever exist. The wiki was closed on 26 September 2022 along with other Qualitipedia wikis.

Why it was crappy itself (Bad Qualities)
'WARNING: Do not remove Szczypak2005 from any of the pointers, because he had a way more impactful role on this wiki than you think. Any attempts to remove him will be reverted and the user will be warned.' 'SECOND WARNING: Also please don't mention retired users as they don't want to be remembered and would prefer to be forgotten, there are exceptions like SuperStreetKombat and Allistayrian. If anyone adds at least one name of a retired user, their edit will be reverted.'
 * 1) Much like other reception wikis, this wiki was trating popular opinions as facts and was disrespecting a unpopular opinions.
 * 2) For starters, these wikis were filled with huge Nintendo fanboys. They removed the page on Nintendo's business practices and would straight up make fun of the Nintendo hate.
 * 3) *Eventually, however, after an RfC, they restored their page on Nintendo.
 * 4) They sometimes didn't account for all or any reviews, sometimes including games with positive reception. For example:
 * 5) *Battlefield V
 * 6) *Battlefield Hardline
 * 7) *Blood II: The Chosen
 * 8) *Cars 3: Driven to Win
 * 9) *Castlevania (1999) (Thankfully deleted)
 * 10) *Dragon Age II
 * 11) *Driver 2 (Thankfully deleted)
 * 12) *Eyes: The Horror Game
 * 13) *Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
 * 14) *F.E.A.R. 3
 * 15) *Final Fantasy II
 * 16) *Final Fantasy XIII
 * 17) *Forza Motorsport 7
 * 18) *Grand Theft Auto Advance
 * 19) *Hitman: Absolution
 * 20) *Just Dance 2016
 * 21) *Just Dance 2017
 * 22) *Need for Speed: ProStreet
 * 23) *No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise
 * 24) *Mafia III
 * 25) *Mario Party (1998) (Thankfully deleted)
 * 26) *Mario Party 9 (Thankfully deleted)
 * 27) *Metal Slug Attack
 * 28) *Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
 * 29) *Motorhead
 * 30) *Pac Man Arragement (2005)
 * 31) *Pokeman Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
 * 32) *Pokemon Sword and Shield
 * 33) *Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix (Thankfully deleted)
 * 34) *Splinter Cell: Conviction
 * 35) *State of Emergency
 * 36) *Street Fighter vs Tekken
 * 37) *Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
 * 38) *The Crew
 * 39) *The Crew 2
 * 40) *The King of Fighters 2001
 * 41) *The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
 * 42) *Vampyr
 * 43) *Super mario 3d all stars
 * 44) *They weren't also moving the Good Qualities to Awesome Games Wiki although some of the games deserved that for example:
 * 45) **Carmageddon TDR 2000
 * 46) **Earthworm Jim 3D
 * 47) **Tomb Raider Chronicles
 * 48) **Frogger (1997)
 * 49) **Ford Racing
 * 50) **Test Drive 4
 * 51) The text replacement was broken on there, though it was because of technical issues.
 * 52) The wiki used to have pages criticizing people, and a lot of them were subpar at best, with the only exceptions being DSPGaming, LowTi3rGod and YandereDev.
 * 53) *The Chris-Chan page, which somewhat had potential, was unfortunately ruined due to the page having pointers you would typically expect from a CGW page in 2020 and 2021, such as calling her a social justice warrior, criticizing her for her dark childhood (which isn't something you would criticize someone for), and some pointers had nothing to do with the person at all, not to mention, certain lines mocking him, such as the line in pointer 10 "What a baby!"
 * 54) Allistayrian, although she wasn't a bad user, she massively removed all pages she considered "poorly written" and also imposed high requirements on page creation and reverted edits even if the user considered their edit to be justified, not to mention blocking users for stupid reasons like Szczypak2005 for such senseless accusations as creating "low-quality" pages, "cluttering" one of them, "abusing" categories or forms of text.
 * 55) *Speaking of which, this block almost caused this user to stop editing the wiki altogether, as the only thing that saved his career was the hole he could use to continue editing, because of that you can imagine how many users who hadn't this exploit could stop editing and hate this wiki.
 * 56) One of the aminds was disrespecting the dead. A Halloween 2021 blog on the wiki (despite being a joke blog) was infamous for disrespecting Angry Grandpa, who died in 2017.
 * 57) *Additionally, he was also responsible for creating a poll in a private Discord server to demote SuperStreetKombat over very minor inconveniences.
 * 58) Tons of infamous controversies such as the Inkster Controversy started because of this wiki.
 * 59) It was also one of the Qualitipedia wikis that attacked anything and anyone who was SJW or anti-Gamergate, which is simply a politically engaged wiki. This was due to the fact that the founder of the wiki, had right-wing views and Depression Quest was his most hated game.
 * 60) *In addition to being pro gamergate, TVTropes deemed this wiki unreliable and banned links to this wiki in So Bad, It's Horrible because Grust wanted to force Depression Quest there.
 * 61) The issues with this wiki and other reception wikis got so bad before their closure that even founder started to hate his own wiki.
 * 62) *Due to the issues alongside with a declining userbase, the wiki itself along with other Qualitipedia wikis got closed after the passing of an RFC.

 * 78) A wiki about criticism on poorly received games and why they got poorly received on the first place is a pretty good idea on paper, though unfortunately was poorly executed in the first place.
 * 79) The wiki was decent before Allistayrian took over (in 2020).
 * 80) After Allistayrian left, editing became a bit easier and the obscure games pages were pretty much intact. Thanks to this, in a sense, the ability to share your opinions as before the second half of 2020 has returned, although the wiki still treated popular opinions as facts.
 * 81) Some of the admins were a pretty nice admins and weren't abusing their admin rights unlike Allistayrian.
 * 82) There were indeed a handful of good or decent users on this wiki.

Criticism
Initially, this wiki was rather favored on Fandom, although the wiki was little known at the time, it was still praised. The first signs of criticism appeared on TVTropes, when the founder tried to squeeze Depression Quest into So Bad, It's Horrible. Reputation however began to slowly decline due to the closure of the wiki on Fandom due to PKMNLivesNew and moving to Miraheze, initially the wiki was still well regarded but was affiliated with the Outcast Network for some time, which somewhat deteriorated its reputation. It wasn't until Allistayrian came to power that the wiki faced a harsh policy of massive page deletions and user bans for trivial reasons, resulting in the user's retirement twice. After all, its reputation was badly damaged by her activities, although its reputation improved somewhat after her retirement, it was destroyed even more quickly by Qualitipedia's bureaucrats.

However, despite the controversy, its flaws and criticism, this wiki still had a loyal following of users who were disappointed with its closure and tried to bring it back to life, but unfortunately it failed and was lost thanks to New Qualitipedia which merged all wikis into one.
