The only thing Goat Simulator does is by being so self-aware of the joke and is an example to the power a few YouTubers have over the medium.
No, i didn't mean to relate lack of innovation with GS i meant to relate it as a new trend to exploit.

GS as been well received, so well received it will probably have a sequel and if it sells enough other developers are bound to copy the formula.

And then before you know it there is 'Bear simulator' or other ridiculous games like that flooding the market.
