I dunno. If the point of tꦏhe show was to be successful enough on its own to make me want to play the game, it was successful for me. I always wanted to play the game but never really made an effort to start after🔯 hearing how long the games are. But the show is pretty good for someone like me who knows nothing. And it's pushed me to start playing the series.

Maybe the show is just the newbies to the series like me and an alternate retelling(maybe) like the author said. Apparently, fܫrom your suggestion, I can play the game without any spoilers. Sounds⛎ like a win win to me.
