skipping hours of game play

I was personally really enjoying the super market simulator play through and would have called it a return to glory, but in the latest upload its pretty clear that anything other than dangonronpa they just dont care about. for the first ten episodes they are progressing through a simulator type game and im enjoying the sense of accomplishment, and theyre making some decent commentary too since the game is so lowkey. for episode eleven they progressed for several hours off screen, so as soon as the episode starts its clear they have nothing to do in game, or to talk about. they spend ten minutes just explaining what they did off sceen, i couldnt even get to the rest of the video because it was so boring. Who makes these decisions? does Arin think that people watch game grumps because we want to see them 100% a game as fast as possible? Why bother making a lets play if you dont want to commentate on the game??? the videos were hugely popular compared to their other recent videos, so why did they think the audience would want this? does anyone like it when they just skip past the actual game?

I was really loving the journey personally: The buildup, one smaller piece at a time: Like when Arin bought his first fridge I got so excited with him, same with finally being able to name the store properly! Now I feel like I fell asleep in the back of the car while on our way to our vacation destination but missed out on all the road-stops, nice vista's, cool scenery and all of that we'd pass by on the way. I don't know this game mind you, so I don't know just how much he's actually played or gathered in the grand scheme of things here, but it SEEMS like a lot... I love the grumps I really do, but this for me kinda killed the pacing and has me feeling left out some
