Good games are ultimately going to be a better viewing experience for an audience at home, especially when designed with the purpose of entertaining that audience. A poorly designed game will always be worse to watch because viewers can tell when a game is bad and players aren't having fun.

Sam, @paulrobalino.bsky.social, & the team at GC are great at using games to craft a story and engaging with players in a way that compels interesting decisions and, obv the main goal, funny moments. They are students of the medium of game shows and reality TV and put effort into making good games.
