Okay, so, here’s a thought that hit me—Dropout (remember when it was College Humor? Yeah, that was forever ago) is blowing up big time because of Game Changer. You know, the show where Sam Reich, who’s also the head honcho over there, brings comedians together to play these wild and crazy games. It’s like, pure chaos but in a good way. And tell me you haven’t wondered: what if they turned this into some kind of video game? Like, wouldn’t that just be wild?
So, yeah, I actually got to chat with Reich. We were supposed to talk about Game Changer itself, but, obviously, the nerd in me just had to ask if a video game spin-off might be on the cards. Spoiler: He was totally onboard with the idea.
During our Zoom convo, he pretty much confirmed it — said they’ve tossed around ideas for games, especially with Dimension 20 or Game Changer vibes. He says it’s all about needing the time and the right crew since they want to keep it real and close to what makes Dropout special. You know, not just handing it off to some random developer somewhere. It has to scream “Dropout,” right?
Oh, and here’s the kicker: making games isn’t cheap. Duh. Plus, the time sink is insane. But yeah, Reich is serious about it. He didn’t joke around when he said they’ve been brainstorming what a Dropout game might look like.
Anyway, there was this fun bit where he talked about those tiny web games they’ve done on Game Changer. Kind of like dipping their toes in. Messing around to see if they’ve got the chops to make a full-blown game. I found that oddly charming.
So, bottom line? A Game Changer game is probably a thing that’ll happen. Not if, but when. And if you’re wondering when you can catch the next bit of madness, the season 7 finale’s hitting Dropout on August 11. Fun times ahead, folks.
