Another thing we have to be on guard against with a game that has no physical media is the likelihood that it will change. A realistic scenario is this. Tiny Rebel Games release "The Lady of the Lake" this year. Three years from now, the game is still active, but now the platform has changed. So they push an automatic update which switches it to a new format whereby you ''can'' now select different companions to go on different parts of the adventure. But because there is no physical media, no one can verify what the ''original'' storyline was. | Another thing we have to be on guard against with a game that has no physical media is the likelihood that it will change.

So, again, while I'm happy to consider these well-praised stories as valid for writing in-universe articles here at Tardis, it may be that the better analogy here is not '''webcast''' but '''stage play'''. These narratives, or at least some aspects of them, could disappear in the blink of a download. | So, again, while I'm happy to consider these well-praised stories as valid for writing in-universe articles here at Tardis, it may be that the better analogy here is not '''webcast''' but '''stage play'''.
