Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice shows how inefficient some game 
studios are at making playable content. For 30€ there is a lot of 
game in it. Compared that to other projects where 2 mil copies 
sold at 60€ is below expectation and not financially sustainable.

I have seen your proposals and they look like you want to fix 
your problem quickly and with least amount of work. This is good 
approach for game development but bad for language changes. If 
you make a mistake in game no big deal. But if you make a mistake 
in language design you might have to pay for that mistake for 
over a decade. Should I say string auto decoding...
