So... basically, video game pastas aren't allowed when they're basically the same thing as "Lost Episode" pastas or .exe pastas?

I imagine there's exceptions for truly original stuff like Goat Jump, The Theater,  and Killswitch? Fictional games that don't exist, and therefore have not been raked over with a fine toothed come are fair game, right? As long as they have actual plot/gameplay and aren't just random creepy cliches over and over like .exe pastas are, I don't think you'll run into the same problems.

Most VG pastas, though, are the same thing as Lost Episode pastas... finding a beloved game and having it corrupted. I fully support the moratorium.

In fact, I think we should just export all non-memorable spinoffs, Lost Episodes, and VG Pastas (Sturgeon's Law Crap) to seperate wikis to maintain a quality standard here. Old, unoriginal crap is still unoriginal crap.
