Sports games.
I know people who like them exist given the sales. But not only do I not play or like sports games - no one that plays games in my social circle does either.
It's like the Venn diagram for people who play RPGs and those who play sports games is just two circles.
I get it. I’m the only one of my D&D/RPG friends who likes sports, and the only one of my sports friends who likes D&D :-/
Pyre is an interesting sports game IMO because it doesn't try to look like any real sport.
I do find it kind of odd that some people only play the latest sports games and nothing else. Also NFL Blitz on the Dreamcast is one of the best games and I've never watch a game irl.
In my experience, sports games are for sports fans, and I've met very few "gamers" that are into sports.
Yet it could be made to work. Imagine you make your own RPG party, but it's a football team. Want that ball ? better cast turn undead on the ref
