I'm not sure if procedural generated worlds is the best way to go for a show whose greatest strength is its storytelling and humor. Back to the Future, Futurama, Ghostbusters, and even Harvey Birdman had games that did a great job recreating the feel of the source material and they did it by guiding you through a planned experience that told a story. I would hate for a Rick & Morty game to feature repetitive exploration and grinding with a few humorous quips that you'd end up hearing over and over.

It would be some humorous outtakes of the first episode's "I've never seen that before in my life Morty, I dunno what the hell it is!" over and over and over. I can definitely see it getting super monotonous very quickly.
Thankfully, the linked video doesn't even sort of hint that any such game is in the works, and is more just "Hey wouldn't it be cool if No Man's Sky had rick and morty shit attached?!?!" type conversation.

We need some one with the Rick and Morty Dota 2 announcer pack to comment on this.

Oh I'm not saying it wouldn't be fun, just that neither of those games are procedurally generated with "endless" content attached. The South Park game was effectively like an 8 hour hilarious south park episode, so it was great. But it has some pretty limited replay value. Dota 2's announcer pack is like an hour? Or something similar of unique statements about what people are doing. Far cry from limitless content. Since the vast majority of the humor comes from the unique interactions between the characters and "scripted" events (Yeah, I know that a lot of Roiland's stuff is him just being drunk and recording audio and saying hilarious shit) but it would be totally different for them to have that type of unique sort of humor on -every- dimension/planet/whatever. Not saying that it couldn't be done, but just saying that for simplicity's sake they'd have to make many of the statements super generic, which would take away from the humor.
Granted, I could be wrong. I'd play it regardless, but I would be surprised if the level of quality was maintained after multiple dimensions/worlds/whatever have been visited, and that material wasn't being reused fairly often. "Endless" content has a bad habit of being bland content, hah.

holy shit, lol. That's awesome as HELL.
I have to admit that slylock fucking fox traps me about 3 weeks a month. I always have to look for the differences to prove I'm smarter than a 6 year old dude.

If you read his post on the subject - it doesn't rule out a return to the show or spin-offs. I had a bad feeling once they got a third high profile voice actor for the show that they couldn't continue it indefinitely though. [Although I was a super recent fan]
The post also caps with a cypher, but I'm too lazy to work on it.
PQXV TBFOA - supposedly translates to Stay Weird if the intertubes are to be trusted.
Also note the articles I read on the crossover concept wasn't limited to one show or the other - I always had a feeling it would be GF -> R&M and not the reverse anyhow, since R&M made PG doesn't work some PG added to R&M however can still function. And considering Hirsch doesn't consider the world dead - there's still room to do such. Just would be an addition to R&M and other shows (or new ones) if it happens.
