The game may be fun or intriguing with it's "hidden lore" but the toxicity it spawns from fans and haters ultimately ruins the experience for everyone. How are toxic fandoms the fault of the developers?

I should have clarified, but I think the "trope" is oversaturated, along with the toxicity. Usually it's a generally simple game, but wait! There's lore! There's nothing interesting about it anymore, with FNaF constantly adding new pieces and Undertale being all ove the place. It'll usually end up spawning a few Game Theorys and mass speculation, and then it enters the VS Debates community, which is how we end up with Multiversal Freddy and Multiversal Gaster. I personally prefer if Indie Devs tried to be new and fresh, instead of trying to be the next FNaF, look at Shovel Knight and Cuphead for example. Both borrowed elements from similar games and achieved massive fanbases and praise without the need for fan theories or lore.
