Game mechanics you're glad have (virtually) died.

Wow, that was a thing? I can't think of any game I've played where a status effect made your UI disappear.

Yes, early exposure to the mechanic was via an NPC called Rungupp (a troll).

I know it's way late at this point, but I'm glad most battle royales have been killed off. That said, the unique or really good ones got killed off too soon, because publishers felt they weren't making all the money in the world or not as much as Fortnite. The industry really needs to stop chasing immediate trends thinking they'll get everything.
