A big draw of the game-design-by-A/B-testing type thinking is that it absolves you from having to form your own opinions & taste. It allows you to outsource the most difficult part of any creative endeavour: actually believing in your vision.

like the thing I get watching friends who are into Hunt is this bizarre alternate look at a genre where the game is... the game? where the tension and social play comes from the things contained within a match and not the wholly external act of collecting Stuff.

I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of meta-progression. I hope it's more chunky in BVN where new character classes and interesting mechanics are introduced, rather than a drip feed of incremental power upgrades that feel necessary to progress...
