Even if it were true I wouldnt characterize having john 316 written backwards on a toilet or something "batshit insane". Its hokey and dumb but its not some huge affront.

See: "The gameplay is bad on purpose, because war bad. :smug:" which is untrue on about every possible level. Or the bizarre narrative that was concocted that the game was advertised as a generic mil shooter as some clever attempt to trick dumb Calladoody players into playing Real Art for once. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody tried to spin the multiplayer mode that literally everyone glosses over as some genius commentary when in actuality it was just your classic publisher interference forcing them to tack it on.

Iirc most of these takes are lifted straight from the Extra Credits episode in Spec Ops which basically indulged in a bunch of wild speculation about the team and their motives that we're all the complete opposite of the actual realities of making the game. Granted, that show did get me to play the game so credit there but it's actually pretty bad.

The whole Ethan and Trisha drama confuses me. Like apparently Trisha said she was a man but also a drag queen. (They can identify how they want.) This caused Ethan or somebody to tweet some poo poo calling her gross and it only got more convoluted from there. Even the summaries are confused af.

It's a complete mess. I mean, they're related now as well. And they (had) a huge podcast...I can't even fully parse the reasons for why it all imploded, something to do with treatment of the crew. I can imagine the crew being a bit pressed seeing as Frenemies was obviously on a constant knife edge and could all blow to poo poo with a single fight.

To make things more confusing, I first saw them on the episode where Dr. Drew guest-starred(?) They were also dressed up as each other while having a therapy session on a public show. Its like you need a PhD to wade through this drama.

I imagine it’s the same story as always: it was cheaper to lose the people who weren’t willing to work with him than to lose him. Either that or he’s so high up in the hierarchy that there literally wasn’t anyone with the authority to get rid of him.

Speaking of the people who weren’t willing to work with him: if anyone reading this isn’t subscribed to New Frame Plus, you should fix that pronto.

Outside of Bendy and the Ink Machine and Hello Neighbour, what games come across as badly trying to be the next Youtuber bait? Something with a load of merch ready to go, that tries to appeal to the gormless types who leave their mouths open on youtube thumbnails. 'Lore' is a key selling point.

They usually try to cash in a fad started by the following titles: Five Nights at Freddies, Cuphead, Doki Doki Literature Club

I wouldn't think that counts given that it was released in 2018 to zero fanfare and with no merchandise (iirc).

The devs definitely knew to hit after the iron got hot, though.

That one game Baldi's Basics that was like, a Sonic Schoolhouse Horror game was the first time it really felt like the merchandise cart was being put before the horse. And that one came and went pretty fast in terms of general internet zeitgeist interest.

Would We Happy Few count? Though that tried and failed hardcore I remember them being very loud out the gate with a bunch of Youtubers doing vids on it, then it stranded itself in development hell and appeared to mangle itself with scrapping and reworking the core gameplay over and over again.

I wish. I backed that game and I do think a lot of the plot and back story and character mechanics are themed really well Much better than purple kid stabber or whatever. also the game and dlc are all pretty left wing and just genuinely interesting and tragic and also all about how systemic takes on a life of its own to some degree when enough people agree or are indifferent or are poo poo fucks. What killed the game is they got caught between a arkane studios design and survival sim rogue lite. It’s cheap as gently caress now so get it.
