Ladies and Gentlemen welcome

I'm Josh 'Strife' Hayes, and in this series of video essays i'm going to talk about the failings and weaknesses of my favorite video game genre, the MMORPG.

In this video, i'll be looking at how the trope of being 'the chosen one' weakens the game, removes player agency, and how granting players ingame commendations or ranks cannot possibly last as more and more players achieve that rank.
