Sturgeon's Law is defined as "90% of anything is bad". It's not In-Universe Examples Only, and is therefore used as an Audience Reaction. Despite this, it's not labeled as YMMV, and is wicked around the site as if it were an objective statement. This leads to tropers complaining. According to the wick check, most examples are like this.

Solution: Probably should be made Flame Bait.

• Ultra Super Happy Cute Baby Fest Farmer 3000: Most Real Life games that would seem to meet this definition are better received than their fictional counterparts (filtering out Sturgeon's Law, of course), either because they're actually marketed toward small children (who don't care much about quality, as long as the game isn't actually unplayable), or because they're actually good.
• Mage: The Ascension: Straw Feminist: Depending on the Writer. Unfortunately, Sturgeon's Law dictates that this interpretation sees a disproportionate amount of representation.
• Gamebooks: Several people have written scripts for Internet gamebooks allowing the players to add new pages. The results are... interesting.
• Game Mod: Unfortunately, game mods are probably the biggest example of Sturgeon's Law.
• Game Maker: When looking at the games made with these, be warned: Sturgeon's Law is in full force.
• Analysis.Darker And Edgier: An inexperienced author using this delicate tool also tends to produce poor results, and fanfiction has varying degrees of quality, both poor results and good ones.
• Analysis.Alan Tutorial: Specifically, he's a facsimile of a large percentage of Youtube creators presenting content like tutorials who don't actually know what they're doing, they just do it because either they like it or they saw someone else doing it and thought it'd be cool to do it themselves.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Doctor Who: So you have a story. In it, the Doctor lands the TARDIS on Earth near where you live and meets a human OC with an inexplicable resemblance to you. He decides this human will be his new companion and the two of them go off to have wacky adventures together. Congratulations, we'll add it to the ninety-percent rubbish pile.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Anime And Manga:
  • Some fanfics involve males getting involved with tankery in some form or another. This is often the result of Oarai becoming coed, with the reasoning that even if it avoided getting shut down, it still needs financial help, and the boys often pilot World War II-era fighter planes alongside the girls in the tanks. Said males often end up being Gary Stus.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Western Animation: The "next-generation fics" are massively popular in this fandom. These generally star the children of the Winx, who form their own club like their parents. When done well, they can explore how the canon characters mature over the years. Usually, however, the new characters end up being carbon copies of their parents, with similar powers, names, and personalities. Thus, there has been an increasing backlash to the genre in recent years.
• Fanfic.Time Will Tell: It is now one of many stories about girls falling into Middle-earth, a genre that suffers from Sturgeon's Law.
• FandomSpecificPlot.Video Games: One of the series' most popular fanfic trends is to have an OC, often someone from the real world, join Sora, Donald, and Goofy on their travels, usually during II. Most times, the OC gains a keyblade and falls in love with either Sora or Riku. Some fics even give her the χ-blade itself. When poorly written, the fic ends up being a novelization of the game with the OC shoehorned in. A common unwritten rule when writing these kinds of fics nowadays is "Don't give your OC a Keyblade and don't make Sora fall in love with them."

• Complex Doom: Various add-ons for LCA, widely yet somewhat homogenously varying in quality.
• City of Heroes: In full effect with the Mission Architect. Even with the search options, it is a huge chore to actually find missions with actual stories instead of being just a farm or meant to be a challenge.
• Chip's Challenge: In full effect with the user-generated levels in Chuck's Challenge, which tend to range from "OK" at best to "Who the hell thought this was a good idea?" at worst. In contrast, fanmade levels for Chip's Challenge tend to be very well done, with the very best being compiled regularly into "CCLPs".
• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Enough of them to build several whole new games. In fact, several mods are there for just that purpose. Sadly, Sturgeon's Law is in effect for many of them, and they're only useful if you run the PC version.
• Super Mario Maker: People can also share the courses they make online with other players. Needless to say, quality of the courses made in this may vary.
• Roblox: Inevitable in a game where 95% of the content is user-created.
• Pillars of Eternity: The quality of the vignettes for the backer-written NPCs varies. There's some legitimately interesting gems to be found, but a significant percentage are pretty cookie-cutter: unstoppable badasses, perfectly cunning rogues, et cetera.
• Mega Man Maker: Since the Wily Challenge uses random user-created levels, it is possible to find levels with diverse difficulty, which also includes Sturgeon's Law rearing its ugly head in here. Because each level is randomly picked, there's no telling what the next stage has in store for you. It becomes worse when set to Hard (the difficulty just adjusts your lives counter) and the length to Long. Thankfully, the levels can be skipped, but at the cost of one of your lives. So if you die to a hard level and decide to skip it, it will ultimately cost you two lives.
• N: A staple of every game in the series - complete with multiplatform level sharing. Sturgeon's Law is in full effect, obviously.
• Need For Madness?: This came into full effect the moment registered players were allowed to use cars they made in NFMSP's Car Maker in NFMM.
• Pac-Man: In full effect with the web game World's Biggest Pac-Man; for every genuinely good maze you come across, there are hundreds that either go above and beyond Fake Difficulty by throwing you into a maze with very little or no walls and a field of Pac-Dots, giving you very little means of protecting yourself from ghosts, or a series of straight linear path(s) littered with the occasional dead end, giving ghosts plenty of opportunities to trap and corner the player.
• Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors: Although by no means the first of its kind, the resulting popularity and subsequent influence within the "Text-To-Speech" community has helped it define and influence an entire generation of text-to-speech video makers, for better or for worse.

• Contrasting Sequel Main Character:
  • Valerie in Kingmaker was a Lawful Neutralinvoked sellsword who had trained as a paladin of Shelyn, but Rage Quit the church over a combination of believing that most art was crap and frustration with her many Abhorrent Admirers. Sosiel is a Neutral Good cleric of Shelyn who believes that searching for the beauty and love in the world and creating whatever art you can is an inherently useful pursuit: if nothing else, it can keep morale up.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker Party Members

• Sturgeon's Law: Discussed. The biggest friction point between her and her Order was that, while her order appreciated all art, and expected her to do the same, she believed almost all of it was terrible, and not worth her time or protection.

• Analysis.Nintendo Hard: The concept has recently been satirized on the Internet, most famously by The Angry Video Game Nerd, who pointed out that via Sturgeon's Law, most examples of Nintendo Hard games are often a result of sloppy or bad design.

• Analysis.Disco Sucks: Among the critics, nobody who wanted to be taken seriously treated it as much more than vapid, disposable pop, a type of music whose few good early hits were drowned out by the volume of garbage that followed, while among mainstream listeners, it was associated with a snobbish, decadent big-city lifestyle that they wanted no part of.

• Fanfic.Takamachi Nanoha Of 2814: Here's the author's opinion of this trope in action, courtesy of Ch. 13 Author's Notes:

  "I have come to the conclusion I'm too good a writer to be able to write Purple Prose. On the upside, it means I'm too good to write anything as horrible as Twilight. On the down side, it means I'm too good to write anything as marketable as Twilight. It was an actual labor to write it. I had to read SO many bad fics to even try to get it down. I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid it all was. Anyone who can do this and KEEP doing it for more than a thousand pages has... well, not talent, but some kind of anti-talent. Purple prose is HARD! Though I have also discovered, to my horror, that I have my own personal brand of Purple Prose. I need to lie down..."

• Night Mind: Nick really doesn't look fondly at shoddy CreepyPasta that tries to pull this off with existing cartoons such as Squidward's Suicide and Suicide Mouse, finding almost all of them exceptionally lazy, uncreative and blatantly attention-hungry. His one and only exception is Lasagna Cat, which he perceives to have seriously set the bar.

  Matt: Clearly this was a cow that would never, ever run dry, right?
