Saw this pop up, and it rings true for me at least. I like some numbers in my games, and not just the washed-out kind where they might as well just use a color instead.
And like he says, it’s fine in games like DOOM 2016. Doomguy needs no numbers, his numbers are “Shotgun” and “More”.
Maybe they spent too much time with the Encyclopedia of Numbers?
THAT’S NUMBERWANG!!!
