Everyone hates Mat Dickie: The thread

As, um... unprofessional as this game is, I still found myself playing it for a few hours.  It would be great if someone took the core concept and made something truly glorious.  I even dig the overall lighthearted/comical tone.

People hate on MDickie for some good reasons, sometimes, guys.
Since I have archives on Something Awful let me delve into the old SA Let's Play for a moment.

Look at this code from The You Testament that I posted a couple pages back:

;DELIBERATE CRASH LOOPHOLE
Function LoopHole()
 LoopHole()
End Function

This is how you exit the game. He couldn't figure out how to shut it off in a way that didn't involve deliberately crashing the system.

And here's how quotes are done for the game's loading screens:

Spoiler: this process is repeated 99 times, one for each quote (click to show/hide)

;/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
;-------------------- SHOW QUOTE -------------------------

Function ShowQuote(x,y)
 r=255 : g=255 : b=255

I noticed that MDickie has a game called "Under Development." It's apparently about the history of video games. It most likely stars MDickie at some point. Has anyone here played it?

He is the defining and most important thing in video games. Why not?
