No, it's closer to some guy running around and zooming in close on kids while drooling, and parents being creeped out busting out less revealing bathing suits because the police wont execute the creepos.

Cliff notes:

1) Legacy MMORPG's were cool but niche.
2) WoW came out and destroyed that notion
3) WoW made accessibility / steamroll content easy for everyone
4) Others tried to replicate
5) Everyone bought into "This is the WoW killer hype"
6) Others failed - Rinse and repeat steps 4 through 6 for 15 years.
7) Today the entire genre sucks and will never get fixed but he knows how to do it but really doesn't so used "My video is too long" as a cop out for a cliff hanger.

The End.

(Don't worry you have seen this before, and have known everything said verbatim via these forums for the last 20 years.)

As much as he accurately depicts the shitshow that is the recent, current, and future landscape of MMOs, watching the video somewhat makes me want to play. Well, it makes me feel like I do. When in reality I'd last about 2 days and realize there's just too much going on and it best remains a memory.

Sometimes it hits just right or you’re bored enough to put the time in to get past that overwhelming hump, and you find yourself 6 months later strung out wondering what the fuck happened to your life.

I watched the whole thing (and paid attention), well worth it on a lazy afternoon at home. Really, very well done, and filled in some historical gaps for me too.
From Part 4 to the end I found especially interesting. Like

Intrinsic said above, feel like playing again now. Damn you nostalgia! Hopefully it'll pass before the day is out.
