It's even weirder and more fascinating than that. Turnover eventually leads to teams made of people who were fans of the original series, and the risk there is that their own interpretation of the series can become a navel-gazing love letter to the superficial stuff that floats on top of their memories (e.g. references, callbacks, tie-ins, inside jokes, and memes) while neglecting the underlying qualities that made them fall in love with the series in the first place.
- chongli 3y agoOh yeah! But this is a problem with a lot of game designers, not just those who join the teams of their childhood heroes. There are quite a few games out there that lean so heavily into navel-gazing love letter territory and what's even more depressing is that they seem to have an audience.
