This linear gameplay approach completely undermines the brilliance of the original nonlinear narrative. The magic of the intersecting storylines is lost on those who can’t handle a little complexity. Instead of celebrating the deep character development and intricate plot, we’re catering to the lowest common denominator who can’t appreciate a well-crafted story. Stop dumbing down art for the sake of ease!
