I certainly feel like it’s quite easy to lose the goodwill of your community, because these are all volunteers. If they feel like you’re taking advantage of them, they can immediately stop contributing to your platform.
There’s good reason for developers to be aware of this growing shift. Josh Zimmerman, a professor and community engagement consultant from the University of Arizona, explained to Game Developer via email that accurate, well-functioning, fan-hosted Wikis reinforce player loyalty in games through what he described as “fannish performance.”
Nah, developers don’t need to pay attention to this. Make the game and let the fans be fans.
Worth mentioning the extension that hides fandom wikis to make sure you find the fan made ones because fandom ones still often appear higher up in search ranking.
