I thought a humorous, satirical tone would enable me to convey a serious message without being patronizing. I also knew that it would be extremely hard to make interesting gameplay that revolves around saving. It is far easier to...

...preachy type. It's not like we think video games are bad for you or anything. Far from it really. In fact, we wouldn't even have jobs if it weren't for video games, so we've proven, at the very least, that games are good for you (well, for us anyway). Still, too much of anything isn't healthy.
