Eh. Started watching this and I’m pretty sure I agree with where the thesis is going (note to all persuasive essayists, please state your thesis at the beginning thanks) but this is such dry flavorless academicspeak it’s a poster child for the “why the hell is this a video and not just a written essay” position

yeah, I sat through the whole thing, and I feel like it was going to be a Secret Base like video with a lot of interesting facts and storytelling, but it was just way way too dry

it goes into WoW’s deep meta, such as the add ons that people created to do raids, which led to raids being more complicated because they assumed that all players would have them installed, which has led to few “socially proper” ways to play the game.
they do state the thesis but it’s about an hour in, and that is “players have made the game ugly” and they use this particular raid as the example
There’s a bunch of energy beams that are in random directions, and there’s arrows in the game world pointing to where they will be, but there’s an add on that everyone doing the raid must install, and it’s arguably less clear about what the directions of the energy beams are based on the user interface.

Relevant for sure, but I think not particularly interesting to an sb brain, which I think either has most of this stuff down pat or doesn’t give a shit about mmos.
Very broadly stated what it’s saying is “when you have thousands of humans playing a game the actual game isn’t just the thing programmed by the workers of the corporation that sells and maintains the game”, which is like, duh. This insight is only interesting when narratively applied to particulars (what particular shape does this specific game take, what are some good human interest stories that reflect or define the contours of this shape) but this video has way too many boring minutes of blah blah between any of the theoretically good bits, which are themselves delivered drily.

it’s also a rosetta stone for why MMO celebrities are masochistic optimizers. how many of D2’s issues are traceable to warcraft as a model for developer and consumer?
