Management doesn't like self-referential things. It just reminds them they're a simple strapline-based comedy construct of Christopher Livingston.

You’ll never have given much thought to the “skip dialogue” button in a videogame, but after playing The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe you won’t stop thinking about it. The button (it’s a physical button in the game world, so you have to be standing in a specific place to use it) is just one of several new features you can take for a spin in the “expanded reimagining” of 2013’s The Stanley Parable. Once again, stepping into Stanley’s shoes turns the act of playing a game into a hilarious, surprising and at times deeply thoughtful examination of games and game development, players and player choice, and yes, even the consequences of pushing a button.
