This is one I just thought of and I don't know if it would count or not. But I have noticed a lot of hate towards the Guitar Hero franchise from various youtubers. These however are some of my favorite games. I find them to be a great stress reliever and I can waste hours playing them, even by myself.
I don't know if it would count for this thread because they were VERY well like for about 2 years. But after that, burnout turned into dislike... so maybe.
