Because the goal isn’t to create a game, it’s to make an interactive movie or at best a “passive game”. You give commands and then you watch your character try and do them. To give them some credit it’s not the worst idea in the world, it’s miles better than the game world shit Google tried to do. But knowing Microslop they’ll fuck up the implementation in a spectacular fashion.

Yes let’s take something like player control which is fast, efficient and direct and see how we can make it inefficient, convoluted, imprecise and laggy. I can somewhat understand if they use it for NPCs but what is the point here other than making a worse player experience?

It’s like a tamagachi game where you occasionally feed and monitor. I dunno, having that as an interactive screensaver like Johnny Castaway would be cool.
