- “No Man’s Sky” and 10,000 Bowls of Plain Oatmeal challies.com
This article is 10 years old, but even with 10 years worth of constant updates to No Man's Sky I can still very much taste the oatmeal underneath. I reckon it might be impossible to escape the generative trap by layering more on top.
The core problem is that digital games are licenses, which forces an ongoing relationship between you and the owner of the media. And because there’s an ongoing relationship with you, any ongoing licensing relationships that the media owner has also affect you and your games. If a license for any media that is part of the game expires or is affected, then the developer must take action to remediate the “issue” in the game.

- What Pokémon can teach us about storytelling theguardian.com
The Pokémon games are full of stories like this: half-written, euphemistic, full of hints and easter eggs, and characters who allude to things that often never happen. For the first few hours of Pokémon Blue and Red, you are led to believe that a big plot with a Clefairy is about to kick off, and it simply never does. It creates a sense that you are living in a vast, complex world full of lost tales and broken people.
