I actually liked Spark'd, but the forced drama was not one of the things I enjoyed about it. I totally understand where you're coming from, and I agree it seems like they're focused too much on that and not enough on the game itself! Now that you put it in the context of other gaming competitions (that aren't FPSs or Battle Royales), that really makes sense to me. I've watched a few episodes of the "Minecraft Hunger Games" they did...last year? When a bunch of YouTubers got together? That was really fun! And I think if Spark'd tried to follow that kind of vibe instead, it could be a lot of fun to watch (and hopefully even more fun to participate in)!
I was talking to someone else about this and they mentioned that the Sims isn’t really meant to be a competition. It’s a Sandbox game where you can do and be whatever you want. In this competition they are basically telling u what to do and making people lose in a game where there shouldn’t be a loser.
I agree with that sentiment, which is why I had no interest in Spark'd nor do to this day. Granted, I do not like reality TV, it both bores and annoys me (I have my own problems and little reason to care about fictional ones). However, I think I would have liked the show you described. Just people playing the game and trying to do something cool. Let's Plays are popular for a reason.
Instead we got a competition between influencers, which I personally do not watch, and which gave me a poor first impression. The whole thing is a shame in my opinion.
