That question 7 turned into an all-timer by the end haha I could be completely off, but would propose Masi Oka's involvement with "Outer Wilds" might benefitted the game. Not necessarily in a "check out this celeb behind the game!" way, but more of a helped open doors or got them some support that helped it reach more people. Maybe not though?
