I think everything about the game can be explained once you realize every idea is only half implemented. This could be because they did nothing for 5 years and then tried to throw something together really quickly in the last year. This could be because someone in management decided to completely change the trajectory…

Social media is a mirror. You’re blaming a symptom. Stop making excuses for stupidity.

Well to be fair I didn’t watch an entire playthrough. I just watched enough to realize it was something I’d enjoy. But it ended up changing my mind about that game and “interactive movie” games in general.

I don’t know what the numbers say but I buy games all the time that I normally wouldn’t have based on Let’s Plays alone. I literally just did this on Monday. I was bored and watched some Let’s Plays of a game I’d never heard of on YouTube. I am now the proud owner of Battle Brothers.
