- How FPS Games Sold Out: From Passion Projects to Profit Machines
Description:
Welcome to ShortyIndex! Today, we're diving deep into the heart of modern first-person shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 2042, Apex Legends, Valorant, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and more. We're uncovering how these games have shifted from passion projects to profit machines, selling out the love for the game for political views and money.
🔍 In This Video:
Political Agendas in Gaming:
We'll break down how game companies are pushing political movements and hot topics while ignoring other important issues like Men's Mental Health Awareness Month because they aren't as profitable.
The Illusion of Live Service Games:
Discover how modern gamers have been tricked into believing that live service gaming is beneficial. We'll explore how these games have transformed from reliable content sources to item stores focused on selling skins rather than providing substantial content.
Nostalgia for the Good Old Days:
Remember when games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Halo had to stand out with amazing content, replayability, and innovative mechanics? We'll reminisce about the times when developers were driven by passion, not corporate greed.
The Beloved Classic Meta:
Learn why classic games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are so cherished. Back then, we didn't face a constant cycle of nerfs and buffs. Occasionally, a map pack would change things up, but the core meta remained consistent, free from manipulative tactics designed to make players spend more.
Enjoy Classic Gameplay:
While discussing these pressing issues, enjoy gameplay from some of our favorite classics: Fable 1, Fable 2, Fable 3, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, BLACK, and Brotato.

Bad feedback usually comes from a muppet in a bunny suit hiding in a corner behind a riot shield !
dont forget while laying on the ground
Hey Shorty, love your rants. I have a rant myself, but I'm no content creator.
The TLDR is, major AAA studios have their own accounts. A good number of players can't use their accounts because the email addresses used are gone, so you can't recover it and log in on new platforms.
On my PS5, I have everything unlocked. But because the email associated with it doesn't exist, I can't log in on PC and have my actual account. I don't know if you've ever had anything like this, but it happened to me in EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. I appreciate when guys like you voice the stuff we casuals can't work around.
If this rant isn't for you, no sweat. I appreciate your stuff, man.
I’m going to look into it and as always feel free to leave your rant here. That’s what this channel is about
Thanks for keeping it real as another content creator and musician by trade…you and Rick have been honestly inspiring with your consistency this year! You guys say a lot of what many others are thinking and feeling and I appreciate all the references and ways you creatively voice things, keep it up and thank you! The one or 2 dislikes dig at you and usually it is not voiced, it’s usually one standout comment that obviously hit the dislike button but sometimes it is more ambiguous, crazy to fathom sometimes tbh when u work hard on something and see it as objectively good, I’ve noticed no matter what you do SOMEBODY will always have a problem with it or you in general, that’s just life, fortunately it’s few and far between
Thanks man! I’m a big fan of musicians and what you guys do! I promote Dave Warlow a lot here and on my nostalgic deep dive channel OldTimeFrags in facts the intro 40s track he made for the nostalgic deep dive channel! Feel free to send me any work you got if you want thoughts on it! Be happy to help you! And yes the Rick is a damn beast love the dude and his content and the fact he sticks to his morales something I pride myself in! You are also right no matter what I do I will piss off someone! So I just do me!
P.S. Brother. You should totally start a news rant channel. It would be hilarious. Look at the content you would have. 😂😂 😂😂
I’m thinking about it if I’m honest branch out into more of a commentary channel then a cod focused rant channel but bring the full rant attitude to the table! I thank you for watching the video to that question and appreciate the time it took you to comment!
Bro Shorty that would be great to get ur commentary on Trudeau and the craziness of Canada and America
@@ShortyIndexOfficialbro you talking about all the stuff moistcritikal talks about etc would be GOLD you have the gift of gab
yesss
Ghost of eight does change his mind day to day but he’s claiming he’s trying to prove a point. Who knows I think he’s just a contrarian.
Modern warfare 2 og had the best progression system for cosmetics out of any video game ever made
Whether its fortnite, clash of clans, or call of duty, money should only ever serve to speed up time or provide skins
Finally someone is saying what I’ve been thinking. Subbing now
Welcome to the Rant Army!
Intro is quacktastic
sadly i've gone from playing 2 - 3hrs every day or more to mayb 1 hour a month due to my new job. got the battle pass hardly done any of it and now i'll lose out so no point me spending any money it now. fingers crossed i'll get back into it. ps keep up the great videos my man
That's how they get you. Fomo is a real B....
The man! THE MYTH! THE LEGEND 💎✨🙏✊❤️🔥
a like for Brotato. and then Dante's Inferno!!
We are old «leechers». We dont want to buy the entire ingame store. So the eomm algorithm want to Get rid off us. We are the junk space in the server who does not benefit enough income and they basicly dont want us there. They nerfs us so hard ingame that its actually pointless for us to play the game.
Well said bro.
I am very interested in these rants and I agree with you and I grew up on mw 2009
Dante’s inferno is a bad ass game. Once you’ve played it, you’ll never forget it 🙌🏾
It’s sad that the new heads are ok with paying for everything for exorbitant prices
You are not wrong I wish we could get a sequel for purgatory but I don’t think that will ever happen
@@ShortyIndexOfficial I can’t see it happening in today’s climate. It’s simply too hard bodied.
I can imagine the meltdown now 😆
Me: (Adds another point for when I eventually stop procrastinating and actually make that video about why I love Warframe so much). XD
As for covering other games and or ranting about day to day stuff, both of them would be ok with me personally and im sure you might get quite a few interested.
I very well remember the days of old when you joined a game at any point and left the match with friends.
I remember the days when you could join a server that was suited to your skill set and play all day in a single mode without issues.
I also remember the days in some games they had servers with KDR limits, so the lower skill players could play with like minded/ability people where you would NOT get sweats or cheaters(unless they were very bad) in.
I remember some games had in game kick functions so you could kick the cheaters or that sweaty nuisance.
The days where you had your own server which was moderated......Well them days seem to have gone too.
Everything has gone competitive, not just for winning but for spending money, people spending loads of money on stupid skins like snoop or some other knob jocky, none of the skins make you play better, in fact all the skins show is that you wasted ya money on sh*t and can afford to waste said money instead of spending it on a decent game that will make you feel much better playing it.
Why can't Activision keep all those ridiculous cosmetics on war zone? war zone is free to play it makes sense that that's where they would make their money and if people like to dress up as fairies then so be it but do it in war zone leave the regular multiplayer alone give us what we used to love about it I used to be able to tell the difference between the enemy team and my team !!
8thoughts...lmao Brooo, I knew it the moment you said flip-flop. I can't stand him
I said no names…. Ironically though he released a video today saying he does that shit on purpose. So I guess the shoe does fit, but let’s be honest that’s the UA-cam game. Stay in the algorithm and flow where the water flows.
@@ShortyIndexOfficial he's a chump.
ALSO ALSO ALSO YES YES YES YES I and I'm sure many others would LOVE to hear your takes on other subjects/games!! Absolutely doesn't have to be ONLY call of duty! 🌟✨💎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think that’s what imma do thanks for watching that far really do appreciate you
@@ShortyIndexOfficial appreciate you too my brother!! Can't wait to see what you cook 🍳👨🍳 up!! 💯🌟
Now my game freezes when I try to pick up sniper, or rifle ammo. Thanks call of duty.
Shorty drop your load out in the captions
I shall start!
Tbh shorty hc is basically easy mode cause i loved that mode back in the day. But hc is easy but i would get kicked most times. Cause dudes would stand in front of my gun and I would end up shooting a teammate on accident then they got mad cause they were popping off and i effed up their kill streak. But CoD for me is dead
battle pass +
I'm so glad I stopped playing this hot mess
I've never disliked a video. I've disliked a comment by accident. You know when you touch the screen of your phone to scroll down but it thinks you're touching to select, and I happened to do that where a thumbs down button was. I unchecked it but I don't know if UA-cam recognized an undo.
UA-cam does recognize it and I’m cool if people dislike my videos that’s the game I just find it fascinating that out of over 100 people liking the video I would love to pick the brain of the one who didnt
@@ShortyIndexOfficial Okay good because I've done that a few times haha. I've never disliked a video on purpose. I have never felt the need to because it doesn't do anything for me. I simply click off the video if I don't like it, so I agree. I'd also like to know what makes that one person to do it.
Rather happy that I don’t play Call of Duty multiplayer anymore. Shits become a scam anyway. Lmao
You should really check out battle bit remastered absolutely fantastic game
I have I enjoy battle but but some games I keep for myself haha
They could have hit the dislike button by accident. Ive done that before in the past
It’s okay if they did or didn’t it’s just a fascinating thought
Honestly bro if xdefiant later on becomes a unlock process that requires u to pay. That shit will fucking suck. Nooooooo !!!!!
it will have less content to unlock and more content to buy, this is just based off my many years of playing multiplayer games. The longer the life cycle the heavier the monetization gets, that's why cod started to blur the lines in the life cycles of the game like MW2 and MW3 and that's why the current state of cod is wildly monetized. I highly doubt XDefiant will fail to bend the knee to this industry norm, i feel right now they doing a lot of lip service.
@@ShortyIndexOfficial hopefully that don't happen. But yet again they want money to profit from their demographic and at the end of day they will continue to say that they are for us. But I miss the good ol days of gaming
you slept and put your philosopher pants on?
Guess so
Packet loss nonstop
6:25 thank you!
That lgbtq/DEI shit in games needs to be criticized much more, as should be everything else that has been mentioned on this video!!
Can you name me the shown games?
They look interesting!
Black (2006)
Brotato
Medal Of Honor Airborne
Fable 1,2 and 3
Dantes Inferno
Hope that helped!
@@ShortyIndexOfficial thank you I very much appreciate it!
I’ve mostly been going back and replaying video games from the nineties and early two thousands that respect my time and money. Which modern video games don’t actually do. Lol
Bro I been doing it to @oldtimefrags if you want to see me play games from literally that era and not just scream about cod
@@ShortyIndexOfficial I’ve been going back and replaying old games from my childhood on my gaming channel and then reviewing them on my main one. The stories are a million times better than what we get nowadays. Lol
Accidentally hit the dislike button. My B.
I forgive ya!
Hey shorty my PS4 died about a month ago and I was about to get a PS5 but because of the state of gaming I got an ATV instead. I might eventually get back into gaming but I'm gonna keep seeing what you got to say about it beforehand...
That’s cool man hope you get out on the trails!
@@ShortyIndexOfficial I'm out in the mountains at the corner of bum fuk and you got a purdy mouth. I'll definitely be hitting some trails lol
