I only seen Discord joke and one on some webcomic. Other sites, even those popular, did nothing. Oh, and Google made Wally in Google Maps. But that's all.

Do You seek those jokes April 1st every year? I do... but I am disappointed recently...

This is pretty good joke. Especially that greedy devs are making battle royale games because it's popular now, so the irony is high :D

It wasn't just an announcement. It was actually in the game as a live mode that you could play. They removed it now but it was alive for a day. There are talks to actually keep it in the game as a returning event once in a while but it needs more work on it than it currently has.

I'm looking pretty perfect. But I'm not searching for jokes just to see them. The jokes should be there. I'm not supposed to google them just to see them. And April Fools' jokes should be surprise so how the hell "I am not looking good" is even a valid argument? I'm not meant to search for this. Jokes should mean to search me and surprise me.

Google did more than the Waldo one, they also released a bad joke detector that would delete bad jokes, to free up phone memory.

I don't know about other countries, but here in Russia we haven't actually recovered from the death of 64 people including more than 40 children in the fire yet, plus almost every day people get detained during dump protests, plus there's this shit with international diplomatic conflict because apparently my beloved state can't even assassinate a former spy properly, so no, I'm not in a mood for jokes.

And my country can't even hold itself accountable to our laws and collude with a hostile foreign power correctly, so I'm not in the mood for jokes, either. But to be honest I always hated April Fools, especially on the internet -- I don't come online to read a bunch of fake BS.

Not gaming related or anything, but a certain adult website is loaded with a bunch of horns. That was really the only "prank" I noticed off hand lol

I usually dread them because they're too forced and not genuinely funny. One good one was the Pokémon Go prototype Google did once with their Maps service.

Frankly I'm tired of all those pranks, particularly on news sites, so no if there are fewer than usual that's really for the best IMO

I don't like things that ar bad taste. But some of it were cool. Discord/Chrono.gg things or Google/DeviantArt jokes about new technologies.

Of course I want those good jokes, not just anything, even if it's bad.

But more generally = more good ones, even if some are bad. Everyone should try to do sth cool, not edgy/bad taste but... When it's barely few jokes...

If they had ever really managed to be funny then I would probably miss them however the majority of April fools are either not even remotely funny or sometimes even in poor taste.

So I for one am happy that there has been a much smaller amount of shite than usual.

I mean jokes like Google Nose or DeviantArt technology for artists wasn't that bad, were they?
Also this year Discord joke was funny. Chrono.gg had also funny joke, that had some purpose too.

But there is not much things that they do to fool or joke. And I would like to get some more interesting jokes and fools.

Not necessarily bad but I just don't find them humorous in most cases. I don't object to them as such and I can see that other people can get some amount of pleasure from them, they just aren't my cup of tea.

Not always meant to be funny, meant to 'fool' you. I've seen some decent fooling attempts.

Yeah, but I don't see anything that tried to fool me. Just this Discord thing. Some other jokes too, but tbh, I had to search for them to just find them. And if I search for jokes that means to fool me, isn't it worthless? How something I seek for, could fool me, If I already thought about finding it?
