Why Gaming Doesn't Feel Fun Anymore - and how to fix it
In what is probably my most ambitious video so far, I talk about why gaming has lost its magic for many of us. I'm not the only one who feels like gaming isn't as fun anymore, but there are a lot of reasons for that. In this video I get a bit more personal and share my own thoughts and feelings, as well as my history with gaming.
