I suppose it's good to know your thirst for blood can theoretically be slaked.I'm totally down with the first sentence, the rest sounds a bit too melodramatic though.
Well, selling hintbooks for adventure games was a profitable endeavor back in the pre-internet days. Perhaps DPC feels he can leverage the walkthrough as a prize worth higher Patreon tiers? (Though if so, he seriously needs to step up his game. Of the various walkthroughs I've seen, DPC's is easily the worst; it's not even text-searchable!)DPC lost his mind, what harm you could do it to him or his business by writing a walktrough. I was doing a season 2´s guide for Steam but now im not so sure to keep doing it.
More likely though, DPC is just a control freak as Casiope said. He wants people to experience his game the way he wrote it. A fan's walkthrough might give people the wrong ideas - or worse call attention to things DPC didn't want us to notice yet - and that can not be tolerated!
Personally, I think the game's better with a walkthrough; it helps smooth over some of DPC's more convoluted mechanics when you can see what makes them tick. DPC's attempts to suppress better information are a big negative, IMHO. Unfortunately, like with all creators, we have to take the good with the bad. I'll toss DPC some money if the update lives up to expectations, but there's a reason I'm not supporting him month to month.
