Kind of a weak effort meme when lots of games themselves are already fully or partially based on real life, no..? Makes the references a bit too easy and obvious. People on Meme Economy seem to have asserted that it is because normies on Facebook/Twitter are the ones mostly participating on this, and they probably find these connections a lot more clever than they are from their perspective.

Some examples are more clever, though, so maybe it will work better as more images are made, but that seems unlikely right now.
