@Samuel_H_Young You’re being unfairly critical of Heroes Rise. I think there’s many lessons that can be learned from it. It is the biggest success after all. Maybe it’s the genre, maybe it’s the writing, the plot, maybe it is the length, or the use of choices, or anything else. Probably it’s a factor of all of these.
There’s no rule that says don’t make most of the choices fake, and it’s not true that most of those in Heroes Rise are.
Let me grab a quote from Jason on my thread discussing games solely made of fake choices.
I don’t believe there’s a rule about the charges either. I know that originally Heroes Rise had a sale for $1 though. Its prices have fluctuated. Besides it’s quality that counts, not word count.
