The study of Vampire Survivors creates its own official wiki for the game

Poncle, the developer behind the successful game Vampire Survivors, has recently launched a new official wiki in collaboration with the game’s community. This platform, designed to provide a completely ad-free browsing experience, promises to be a valuable resource for fans. Additionally, the wiki will allow early access to information about game updates, which sets it apart from unofficial wikis that many players used to rely on, especially those on Fandom, which have been criticized for their poor performance on mobile devices and the intrusiveness of their ads.

An active and conscious renunciation of centralization

The new Vampire Survivors wiki not only presents itself as a cleaner and more functional alternative, but it also reinforces the trend observed in other gaming communities. Developers of popular titles like Terraria and Stardew Valley have made similar decisions by launching their own official wikis, moving away from Fandom platforms. This is seen as a step towards improving the online experience for players, who advocate for more accessible spaces that are less saturated with advertising.

Fans have expressed their support for this separation, considering it a response to the centralization of the online experience. A user on Reddit commented that “more communities should move away from that site,” referring to Fandom, which indicates a general desire to improve the quality of resources available for players.

On the other hand, the creator of Vampire Survivors mentioned that before achieving success and selling millions of copies, he had “given up on the idea of success.” This reflection highlights his focus on creating an engaging game rather than prioritizing commercial results. With the new wiki, players not only have access to quality information but also the opportunity to engage and contribute to the content, which can further enrich this growing community.
