Yeah the topic's named after the game, but it doesn't mean that's what everyone knows it from. Yes I first learned about it from a friend talking about the game, but I did alot of research and now when I hear Slender Man, I don't initially think of the game, I think '2009 Paranormal Photo contest', 'column in a newspaper written by the guy that created Slender Man'. The games fun, and possibly more widely known, but not everyone knows about just the game.
