This looks interesting. Hard to call it a pilot episode if there's apparently already been quite a few videos for it (?), but I guess it's kind of true.
From the description of this video, it mostly just seemed like they were implying this actually existed as a game as a funny bit. Maybe there's more to it though, I haven't looked at the other videos yet.
Curious to see where it goes.

I like the different approach some games take, like Minecraft's “advancements”. They're per save, so mods don't disable them (in fact, many mods add their own), and a nice indicator of how much progress you've made in a world already.
And people who care about “completing” a game can still do that in a single save and show off the advancement progress window there (although it can be cheated just like in any game).
There's just no global statistics anymore.
