  • 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.
    Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you resonate with our perspective. Share your thoughts on the current state of gaming and what you miss about the golden days of first-person shooters. Let's bring back the passion in gaming!

    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.

    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

Feel free to send me any work you got if you want thoughts on it! Be happy to help you!

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.

    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.

      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.
