  • Comment: I think I land at liking ALT2/ALT2a most, but I'm not sure if it's a recognizable enough juxtaposition (the ideas aren't especially mainstream). On the other hand, "mainstream video game analysed through little-known academic lens" is a juxtaposition in itself.

• Hey! Great work with the article 🙂. Converted from redir around time of nom, sources are all reliable, prose is solid, long enough, no copyvio on content or images. QPQ done. Hooks are all interesting. I agree with your takes on the choices. Although I think while ALT2/ALT2a is not a mainstream idea, you're still representing it accurately enough. I think the fact that someone has even published that kind of analysis is interesting in itself, so I think it's fine as a DYK. I lean towards ALT2a but can defer to your preference. No compelling reason for my choice, "studied" just sounds more academic and intense which makes it sound funnier toobigtokale (talk) 02:03, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
