Water runs downhill. Players will max out convenience. The only way is to make the ingame info easier to access, more convenient and complete than any 3rd party. E.g to beat a youtube video that shows you how to complete a quest, you can have a ghost of your character frontrunning the player and doing exactly what needs to be done. Most gamedesigners abhore even the thought of adding such a thing as they want players to explore and discover. And some will, but the majority that pay your bills will just use youtube or wikis or addons to just tell them what to do.

And some will, but the majority that pay your bills will just use youtube or wikis or addons to just tell them what to do. This cannot be true. It can't. If it is, I hope for us all. What's the point of it then?! Why do they even play? What joy is derived? I think I'll create an immersive headset where people have an overlay of someone vacuuming. Maybe then at least the world will be clean, while people just follow along on youtube demos. I guess to complete it, I'll give a reward sound at each room, with bonus points for completeness and catching every crumb in the couch cushions. A little casino like 'ding', and a drop of 'reward bucks', which go onto a card you can use to buy real world things, like food. My god, what have we all come to. I guess this is where Idiocracy lands in our lap. Put on helmet, follow a GPT walk through on how to perform brain surgery, get reward points to buy food and housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcYbYhjdUb4&t=84s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcYbYhjdUb4&t=84s
