you are too focused on the implementation and not the game play. I mean how would you like it if a developer intentionally BSOD a computer multiple times just to reveal a new char? Yes that's overly dramatic but pulling the rollback gag is that slippery slope. So for me this is the equivalent push back to pay to win skins and other abusive loot box practices
I love the concept of Alternate Reality gaming, deep easter eggs, secret quests, and russian doll stories/plots because that is evolving the meta game play for that player but having game play interruptions that could be encountered unintentionally during normal game play is bad form. There's also much better ways to evolve the gameplay without "breaking" the game. The dev should lead the player ex A strange interaction or main menu button appears leading to a strange effect leading to a prop hunt all while being able to play the normal game loop. All of which never removes the player's level of control of the game
I quoted you because you continued the conversation. Oh and for the record I didn't like when Akabur pulled a similar gag in princess trainer
