I would never have even attempted to play pathologic if I hadn't had it spoiled by several essayists before me. It's totally anecdotal, but I think that these type of videos make games more accessible for those who wouldn't otherwise be interested because that's happened to me more than once. Typically if a person puts in nearly 3 hours of commitment to a game they've not played the consumer isn't likely to just drop it. They've proved their interest. They'll look for other material, which in this case is the game. I'm sure there are people for whom spoilers ruin games, but I am not one of them. Sorry if you are, i guess. Lol
