It's a response from anti-gamers to try and make it look like they have gaming credit and have been gaming for a long time. It's just like when Anita takes pictures of herself in front of a ton of games she's never played. It's an attempt to look like you have credit as a gamer.
Imagine being so insecure about being able to call yourself a gamer that you obsess over old games and constantly shove the fact that you've been playing games for 25 years down everyone's throat?
Fucking up search engine optimization and search placement has been a long running way for SJWs, goons, etc to stop smaller sites, youtubbers, etc from becoming popular.
You're just noticing it now. They completely fucked up 8chan's search results for a long time. People thought it was removed from search because you couldn't find it by searching 8chan. But if you searched site:8ch.net, it would show up. It was because they were working hard to make sure 8chan was buried in search, and you'd see their articles about how evil 8chan is first.
There are a lot of things that should be left as 2d.
