Radical Cap, but no cap

Video Description

The gaming industry is in crisis. Modern AAA games are getting bigger, heavier, and more expensive — but also emptier and less fun. In this video we explore 4 dumb decisions destroying gaming today: endless Call of Duty–style annual releases, cartoon Fortnite graphics, broken live-service games, the problems with Unreal Engine 5, terrible PC optimization, and shallow trends like AI and DEI taking over creativity. From AAA blockbusters to multiplayer shooters, RPGs, and open world titles, modern gaming is repeating the same mistakes that killed franchises and disappointed millions of players. Why do all new games feel rushed, unfinished, or soulless?
