- Change Daylight Savings Timeses to move the clock back one hour in the spring too
- A battle royale game with 100 battle royale games
- A Twitch channel that just streams automated Desert Bus gameplay 24/7. People watch it and it actually runs the full game endlessly. Then at some point a year later, the game suddenly and seamlessly changes. The bus takes a turn that wasn't there before and goes on a trip to a mysterious city. It stops, the passenger gets off, and it was actually a super long build-up to a completely unrelated game announcement.
