I feel like some of the old cluttered WoW UIs might be an example of maximalism, by trying to show as much information as possible.

Eve players: noooo… It’s not just a spreadsheet

Veteran WoW players: hmm… I can still see the actual gameplay, lemme add another stat display

And they still wiped.

To be fair, they only had a thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

“RIGHT SIDE, MANY WHELPS!! HANDLE IT!!!”
