this is the part of my description where i write down everything that happens and every creator whose content i swiped in the hopes that it will give me a boost in the algorithm. here goes. in this video i took on the age old (not really) question of why VALORANT looks different from CS:GO and overwatch, games that dominated the esports and video game markets during the 2010s and boast names like xQc, Tarik, Stewie2k, Shroud, Sinaatra, and more. my hypothesis is that the united states military complex-- and the disillusion that most kids my age, and that most kids playing valorant, have with it-- is to blame, as FPS games traditionally rely upon military vocabulary, graphics, values, settings, and even funding to get by-- all things that valorant lacks. the conflict is entirely made up and separate from existing conflicts and borders (mostly). other content creators whose stuff is featured in this video include some apex legend guy, my favorite valorant creator Flights (or Flightss) and tarik again. TenZ isnt in the video but his name is here in my description now. aspas is in the video at least. so is boaster. ok thats all
