They were also more intrigued by the baseball aspects than the Fallout game, though one person who used to live in Boston was disappointed to know that Boston never broke the World Series curse in the Fallout world.

Ye, I broadly categorize these as "AARs" back from when I did writeups of Grand Strategy games like Hearts of Iron/Crusader Kings and the like (though as I said in another thread the other day, I've been mostly playing Stellaris lately). A lot of people understand Fanfiction, but not many make the leap to "game directed" fanfiction, which is basically what this is. For the reader the experience is much the same, I'd say maybe marginally better because you can more easily have fan involvement but that's purely optional, but as a writer, for me personally, "game directed" is way more easy, even if sometimes the game is only very, very minimally involved in the process.
