No. I kind of wish they were, though; they've become a cancer that simply can't be treated. The overwhelming amount of unoriginality and lazy writing the genre as a whole seems to attract would indicate that all hope is lost for it. Despite the fact that video game pastas have SO much more potential than this, I'm afraid the genre is drowning in its only cliches. There is simply not enough creativity going for it; practically EVERYONE who's making video game pastas these days seem to be either incredibly lazy wriers looking for an "easy target" or kids who just want to write creepypastas to be "cool", and not for any kind of artistically-driven reason. Perhaps if we added a new addendum, it would inspire people to create more "creative" video game pastas, but... yeah, I don't know.
