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.

    If you make a video essay about a show or movie you'll get copyright striked for including a few seconds of video or audio, if you make a video essay about a game you can include your own gameplay of it for basically the entire runtime

      I mean thats a fair reason. I'm just disappointed I suppose gaming essays used to be a rare treat

      Now it seems like everyone and their mother is a video game essayist
