:::Thing is, there isn't really any discussion to be had. It's long been established that video games where different characters can be used are not valid, for the same reasoning stage plays and [[Decide Your Destiny]] books are not valid: there isn't a single narrative that is shared by all. And we don't separate cut scenes from gameplay when considering the story. So by that '''existing''' policy, this story is invalid.

:::There obviously is a discussion; we're having it right now (which is in fact highly irregular). The policy isn't that "video games where different characters can be used" in the abstract are invalid, or else there's something missing at [[T:VS]]. The policy is that stories with branching or optional narratives aren't valid. ''Most'' video games where you can pick different characters during the gameplay have this affect the narrative, but this isn't the case with this one. So that rule-of-thumb application of policy oughtn't apply here. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:59, October 23, 2019 (UTC) | :::There obviously is a discussion; we're having it right now (which is in fact highly irregular).
