Video essays about games used to be cool. Now it seems like thats the only video essays new people put out.

Why?

I’m assuming just because it’s low hanging fruit and an easily accessible from of pop culture?

Regardless it’s getting to be too much. It’s no longer interesting if every other video is trying to be deep and analytical about video games.

I really like playing games, just there’s too many video essays on them now.

    i realize how precious this sounds but i think there’s a difference between a video essay (like a video that tries to make some kind of point) and someone talking for 40 minutes, and i think a lot of the time people are referring to the latter even though it’s completely different.
