Not per se, but two major types of video game pastas are banned. The first is pastas based on existing real life video game properties, since that falls under the "spinpasta" umbrella ban. The second is "haunted disc/file" type pastas. Both these types of pastas tend to overlap, and are almost universally terrible.

You can still make a pasta about a fictional video game provided you don't make it "haunted" or use tropes in such a way that it may as well be haunted.

Am I summarizing this correctly, Helel? Afaik there is a spin-off appeal section here, so if a pasta is really good the admins might let it through. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone’s been checking it since Empyre resigned.
