I stopped by your Youtube channel and was startled to discover that your \u201cThis Dumb Industry\u201d videos had gone from having around 5-10k views each to having 50-200k.  Wow!  Big deal!

And I saw some videos on the topic. So it got me in the mood. Outside of Hitman standing proud and tall, other great stealth series are, at best, dormant, while in other games stealth is treated as a shallow option to explosive violence (Dishonored \/ Assassin\u2019s Creed \/ Uncharted). There are few indie titles (Aragami or Swindle), but nothing that makes crowds speak about them. I want to ask Paul (for a change), what\u2019s his opinion on why there\u2019s practically no pure stealth games these days?<\/p>\n<p>Best regards, DeadlyDark!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>56:37 Bonus: RPG elements in Doom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deadly Dark also asked an extra question:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>P.S.
