Spite Hype

Spite Hype is when a piece of media is hyped up not because of it's quality, but out of spite for another piece of media.

Fans of media that is spite hyped typically are jaded fans of another piece of media, or just outgrew that piece of media and can't accept it. They often act elitist or snobbish to fans that still enjoy the piece of media they are jaded of.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Palworld, and Digimon Time Stranger are examples of games that grew in popularity because of spite hype.
