Why did they stop trying ?

I actually read the short story but never played the game.

So have I? What does that have to do with my statement.

I know AM cant get laid.

If you like podcasts walkthrough is pretty good material to listen while playing something else

Simple:
No good writer is going to waste their story on a videogame.

Ångström is such a weird unit of measurement.

Deep, complex and involved stories can often get in the way of game play. Do you want a walking sim or do you want a game that you can't accidentally skip a few chapters of important story by shooting the wrong NPC or going to the wrong town?

From the top of my head:
Pathologic 2
Bastion
This War of Mine
The Talos Principle
Soma
Her Story
Portal 2
SpecOps: The Line
Papers, Please
The Return of Obra Dinn

A Boy and His Dog is the kind of horrible debasing story only a Jew could come up with

He says to a literal computer.
