In Mem(e)ory of Uuugggg: Mod-Users' Use of RimWorld's Steam Workshop as a Memorial Site
This extended abstract examines how players of the single-player game RimWorld used the Steam Workshop as a space for collective mourning after the unexpected death of Uuugggg (also known as AlexTD), the creator of the popular mod "Replace Stuff."
- The study is a single-case qualitative analysis of how RimWorld players used the Steam Workshop comments section to mourn Uuugggg (AlexTD), creator of the mod "Replace Stuff," after his death on June 29, 2025, so its findings are interpretive rather than generalizable.
- The central thesis is that mod-users and modders share parasocial bonds that extend beyond a consumer-producer relationship, and that these bonds are otherwise hidden in single-player game communities.
- The "o7" salute, borrowed from multiplayer science fiction games, took on a memorial meaning in the comments, functioning as a form of "RIP-ing" that expressed parasocial grief.
