great conversation about the rabbit hole only trend -
and i don’t think they’re getting the same results, but they’re getting some results and when they weigh the result to the cost – my guess is they’re cool w/that. its horrible for the genre and turns off many players. hoping we will soon be seeing a few more args/experiences that play out beginning/middle/end in the upcoming months.
another wonderful show
thanks!

Hey guys, I loved the show this week! Very interesting insights on the Evan Ratliff game.
I wanted to share an interesting blog I came across doing analysis of the infamous 4chan versus unFiction rumble that started in Junko Junsui.
