Leap of Faith relied entirely on suicide as a crutch for bad writing. Now that nearly every WEG dev inserts sob stories to force a reaction from the player instead of writing genuinely compelling characters, it's not cute or unique anymore, hence the tepid reception of u4ia. DPC could launch a brand new game successfully because he's learned by now how to write good characters, despite his early reliance on contrived tragedies like cancer and house fires. Ironically, those missteps enabled people like Drifty to make tons of money off subpar products in the first place.
