Why don't more games use the "timeline continues independently of players actions" storytelling models? Seems like the next logical step in evolution of vidya yet we're still stuck with completely static worlds and armies of darkness that will happily wait for you to do some sidequests
because no one in this industry cares about evolution unless doing so will cost them less money in the long run.
because nobody fucking likes timers
People are pussies who don't like to lose.

because players might miss the handcrafted story moments people put a lot of effort into oh no
Devs just don't trust players. gamedesign is all about railroading and controlling players, if you let them go they get nerveous. People paying designers don't want them to do anything players might miss because of dolabongas.
Sure we might not misss it and might love it ,but not the avarage gamer who is a dribbling retard with iq in single digits

Because then then you're on a timer and a player is more likely to just say fuck it and reload saves or stop playing
so do you like how it looks? haven't decided yet

I hope devs go kuhrazy with Polyhedron and Abattoirs
A lot of people hate the idea of missing out on anything, and will also only ever play something through once unless it really resonates with them.
People who play video games still aren't really used to the medium making them feel anything other than 'entertained,' emotions like tension and hopelessness and trying to salvage the best of an impossible situation either don't come very often or come in bite-sized games like rogue-likes.
tl;dr vidja games are still afraid of making players feel bad
Looking forward to the remake though holy shit. Can't wait to see what they do with the stretch goals.
