It sounds terrible anyway. Vote to decide what happens next? WTF
Silent Hill fans took to X/Twitter and Reddit to express their frustrations with Ascension, complaining that there's something of a pay-to-win issue here. The framework of Ascension is voting, as a group in real time, to determine what happens next. As Polygon reports, though, viewers spend what are called Influence Points (or IP) to sway the decisions. You can pay real money to obtain the digital currency, and the more IP you have, the more sway you have in the decisions.
