TADC: MatPat's video is lazy/my theory
Okay, big opinion post coming... I actually cherry pick his vids so I have no idea about his hit/miss rate, but I do feel like his video on TADC is pretty empty compared to what I usually see from him. First of all, he pointed out some obvious things (tadc being a video game) and stuff that easter egg/explanation videos already pointed out weeks ago. Suffice to say, I kinda expected more effort from a youtuber of his caliber. I think he was not only lazy, but in some other cases... imho he's simply wrong.
Here's my theory, you can stop reading if you want your speculation to remain unbiased. You've been warned.
I feel like MatPat's asking the wrong questions. Wouldn't it be more logical to have your consciousness simply copied into a game than to integrate your physical self? Maybe it was this revolutionary new idea to have the players scanned and then they'd receive a personalized avatar in the game, a technology unlike anything that have existed before. But handling that requires a beefy PC and a beefy AI, hence the existence of Caine. But if we're in a game, why is it running constantly? I think it shouldn't, and something went wrong. Caine was only supposed to handle these players' avatars (y'know, putting them into situations) but the whole scanning thing was so complex that due to some error it went wrong and now he's stuck with these human consciousnesses that he has to help somehow if he wants to keep the game playable, which kinda sucks since he probably has no knowledge about the outside world. Hell, based on the exit door incident, I bet that he even made bedrooms and food only because the people told him about their average lives outside and this is the most he could do to keep them sane since he can't manipulate their minds. He's this world's Monika, but less yandere, and probably unable to break the 4th wall (not towards the audience but towards the developers), because come on, someone would have noticed that by now. He just sees people coming and getting abstracted, more people coming... Meanwhile in the real world the devs have no idea why do their player files keep getting corrupted, so they keep debugging the code and keep testing the game... I wonder if there's a previous copy of any existing person among the abstracted and if yes, is it a perfect copy? Will the people outside ever discover what is wrong or will they sell the game as is? Is it wrong to kill digital copies of people?
But maybe I'm wrong and this is like Matrix and Caine is using them all as a meat computer :D hahahaha
