The Game is being potholed in seemingly random and arbitrary places, often just wherever the phrase "the game" appears. The vast majority of its wicks have nothing to do with "The Game" as described in the article.

The page is actually about an unfunny meme, and the article itself serves no real purpose as far as I can see. Giving it a page just encourages useless potholing. The title is used by several other works, such as The Game, The Game, and The Game.

Is this page worth keeping?

And no, I did not lose it, and neither did you.

The Game is not a work, nor is it a trope, or trivia. One might argue that it's Just For Fun, except it's not fun at all.

I have two suggestions:

  • Cut the page.
  • Change it to an article about video game adaptations, which is where the majority of the misuse comes from.

Just cut that crap, wherever you see it.

Frackin memes.

This strikes me as something worth documenting, but potholing to it should be...discouraged. Forcefully.
