Conflicted with this one. Talking about the industry is great, but this game just throw some stuff that every person related to the industry, whether it's players, game makers, etc... could say. It can even feel like an ode to manichaeism, the dialog being mostly like "AAA bad, indie good", which is true but with a lot more nuance.

The use of the Simpsons is a fun touch, since the show is known for making social commentary. But seeing a remake of the movie A Dinner With André with the Simpsons, talking about Bobby Kotick feels... off ?

Overall the game is still enjoyable, mostly because of the "3 choices" that feels impactful. The tension of trying to take good choices while our friend is talking about really serious topics is quite fun. At the end of the day, I think you should try it, it's short, pretty fun, but lacks the bite and the deepness needed for this kind of topic.
