A Game-Changing Video Game is on the Horizon

Okay, so let me ramble on about this quirky little streaming service, Dropout—ever heard of it? If not, that’s odd, but whatever, just roll with me here. So, the thing is, they’ve got this wild show called Game Changer. It’s one of those deals where comedians get tossed into these off-the-wall games. Imagine trying to keep a straight face; yeah, right. Anyway, people dig it, like really dig it, and I started thinking—would they ever turn this kooky show into a video game? Spoiler: Seems like a “yeah, probably” kind of thing!

Picture this: I’m on a Zoom call with Sam Reich—the head honcho of Dropout. I mean, who even gets to chat with CEOs on a random Tuesday afternoon, right? So, we’re talking about all things Game Changer—how they whip up these games, test ’em out, you know, the whole creative process jazz. And then, my curiosity couldn’t hold it in—I asked him straight up if he’d considered a video game version. I mean, wouldn’t you?

Reich, in his casual “sure, why not” style, tells me they’ve definitely mulled over ideas, like maybe giving Dimension 20, their D&D series, a digital life. But the real trick, he says, is making it feel like them. A mishmash of personal quirks. No way they’re gonna hand it off to just anybody. It’s gotta sparkle with that unique Dropout magic. Real talk? Sounds like a bit of a logistical mess—game-making is no joke. Time? Money? Two scarce treasures, my friend.

And yeah, I totally had to push—do they really have ideas, or is this just dreamland stuff? Reich assures me they’ve got their creative gears turning. They’ve even cooked up some nifty web games, just dabbling, seeing if they can talk the video game talk. It’s like tiptoeing before diving in headfirst, you know?

Reich threw in a pretty confident nod, saying a Game Changer game is on the horizon… someday. I mean, it’s not about if, but when. Until then, we’ve got the season 7 finale to chew on. Catch it on Dropout come August 11.

Did any of this make sense? Probably not all of it. But hey, reality’s messy sometimes.
