* ContinuityLockout: Blaseball is a live-service game with a metaplot that occurs in real time. The Blaseball devs realized that this was a huge problem for trying to gain new audience members, so they got someone to make [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmNSJQLj5nNk7z2eEQGgaEJVZmDNma61c video recaps]] to make it possible to catch up on.

* IntendedAudienceReaction: The Expansion Era was an ObviousBeta filled with broken subsystems, poorly balanced game mechanics, [[PanderingToTheBase features being implemented solely because the fanbase voted for them]], and none of this ever being reworked or removed.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Outside of a handful of fan favorites like Pitching Machine (who switched to batting in season 12) and Jaylen Hotdogfingers, almost everyone idolizes batters and not pitchers, because it's much more difficult to make money off the latter. The pitching-related snacks were {{nerf}}ed because some people were switching idols constantly to get around the fact that pitchers only play once every few games.
