Moved Unintentional Period Piece to the YMMV tab.
Deleted line(s) 9 (click to see context) :
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The first season draws quite a bit of humor from the [[ObviousBeta buggy-state]] of what should be a AAA-game. Eventually, it gets revealed that Sword Art Online was ChristmasRushed and the developers were overworked to make it happen, with [[BigBad Kayaba]] eventually suffering a nervous breakdown which led to him trapping the players in the game. This all came right before the dam started to burst in the real-life game industry due to the revelations of many big-name studios inflicting "Crunch" on their developers. So what started as just a parody of the SAO anime ended up turning into a satire of the Gaming Industry during TheNewTens.

Go to the official video on the band's channel and you'll see that they liked almost every comment talking about how SAO Abridged brought them there, suggesting the band doesn't mind that the show gave the song a ColbertBump.
