Exactly. I suspect the channel may be renamed, though. In any case, in the event that it's not in the same universe or there isn't an IG reason why the channel is being used (I really can't find the post I think they made about this subject at the moment), it's not that complicated of a situation. It will cease to be the IG MarbleHornets account channel and become instead an OOG THAC channel with multiple fictional shows uploaded on it.

There's also this paradox that anyone watching THAC's new series has their immersion ruined by definition. You're watching THAC's new series. Unless you stumble on it by accident and don't realize. We're worried about immersion being ruined in the process of THAC showing people this, when that is the only way for them to show it to people. Unless we're worried about our own immersion, which is absurd, if only because we're having this conversation right now.

Or they'll maybe remove all the Marble Hornets eps now (if there's no connection at all, same universe or no).

As I have the box set, it doesn't impact me one way or the other.

I mean I have the box set too, but I doubt they'd do that. Their fans, including me just on general principle, would be pissed.

The hype for this ONE tweet is astounding. I'm gonna go with the theory that this is either the number of days till the new series is released or it's an indicator that something will happen on Alex's birthday.

Wait... We're missing someone... WHERE'S ZARGGG?

Would never happen. Especially since that kills part of the point of having it on the same channel as their more well known work.

Not sure exactly what you'd want me to say. Razz

Troy & Co announced a long time ago that the new series is going to be uploaded on the Marble Hornets channel for visibility reasons and that the series would not necessarily be related to MH in setting or plot. In fact, I recall Troy making a point of being vague on that.

"Immersion" isn't really a thing to be preserved at this point. We're all aware that Marble Hornets was a fictional mystery/horror series.

I think immersion went out the window as soon as we saw Tim's portrayal of a grapefruit.

More or less.

No it doesn't. Those could be moved to the THAC channel. The game's over for MH. Unless this is same universe, in which case it's possible that there could be some kind of overlap.

I don't know anyone who has unsubscribed from the MH channel because it's over. I sure haven't, so even if it's renamed, the subscribers will receive alerts, and word-of-mouth will spread.

But what about potential newcomers then? You're assuming that everyone who would watch MH already has. Even if it's already over, there could still be people just finding out about it and expecting MH to be on the MH channel.

Also what would that accomplish? MH on THAC and the new series on MH? How would that preserve immersion?

Immersion's long dead; nothing to preserve there. It was never much of a game after the first season, and this isn't the kind of game that you'd replay, like Risk or something, which can just be reset. The channel can already be retitled.

...right I just said that, but then what is the point of moving them to a different channel in the first place? Anyway they've said the horror series is going on that channel but the comedy one isn't because they don't want to have stuff on the channel the disturbs it's tone, so that kinda contradicts moving the MH videos too.

EDIT: Also, it was never a game. The first season wasn't in any way more game like, at least not in the immersive ARG sense.
