The Reason Why Video Games and Movies Suck Right Now! | Artistic Laundering. In today's video I speak my thoughts on a pervasive trend that I see going on right now in video games and film that I think has been damaging the quality of these mediums for a long time now. I have dubbed this concept "artistic laundering," where studios are taking established, already proven properties and IPs and then using them as Trojan Horses to smuggle in low quality and confused filler that degrades both the consumers of these laundered projects, as well as the legacy of the original IPs. This isn't a new complaint, I don't believe, but in this video I explain the problem in depth and share examples. So if you are sick of AAA gaming, reboots, remakes, fangames, virtue signaling, comic book movies, and endless sequels to properties that are better off left alone, I think you'll enjoy this video :)
