I would say they’re hanging in the wrong part of the community then. I’ll note that Geometry Dash itself has hardly changed in terms of its core content design, it’s just become more intricate with greater depth. You’re still a jumping cube and a flipping ball. It’s great to see that the overall community has embraced the newly introduced elements and become a lot more advanced and complex in terms of its contributions to the game as well as operating in a wider scope.

The truth is that ‘progress’ where there is hardly an endgame can become associated with public standing among the community, and is achieved by reputation earned from creating incredible levels, racking up insane credentials and beating absolutely ridiculous levels, plus dank memes. I think after a while anyone would get tired of that if initially they take it quite seriously, become weary over time and eventually more of the same drama (which has always existed in some form) has them think “time for a change”, so they quit. Yet, meanwhile, more people will keep joining. I think GD is something like the #4 top paid app in Australia. For a game created in 2013, and even having no endgame or freemium design, that’s definitely impressive. So all this ‘drama’? Just another day that’ll come and go, and GD will live on.
