Miserable news for my Fallout ghoul fanfiction: franchise co-creator Tim Cain says only IP owners determine what counts as video game "canon." Developers don't have much input into the matter, and fan opinions are roughly treated the same way.
You just "can't say game players define canon," Cain says in a new video on his YouTube channel, "because you have no consensus. [...] So that means for any particular game, you're going to have hundreds, thousands, millions of canons. And while you may think that's great and wonderful and that's your truth, I don't see how that helps us."
