Total War: Warhammer 40k

Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to its humorous and relatable take on a niche gaming topic, using a common meme format ('Is it just me, or...') to engage viewers with a familiar game franchise.

Summary

This video showcases the game Total War: Warhammer 40k, highlighting its feature that allows players to place 'almost dead' Space Marines into Dreadnoughts. It humorously contrasts the grimdark nature of the game's universe with real-world worker protections, suggesting that Dreadnought pilots might prefer their fate to a lack of benefits.

Transcript

Is it just me, or do space marines need to unionise? Not only is there only war in the darkness of the far future, but there's no sick pay, either. As is represented by Total War: Warhammer 40k, which'll let you plonk nearly-dead space marines into dreadnoughts. A dreadnought, if you're unfamiliar, is a giant walking machine of death that permanently seals the poor, often shrivelled-up sod piloting it inside. Which means that a space marine that nearly died on the battlefield doesn't get workers' comp or a lawsuit payout. Instead, they get stuffed into a big metal body and told to kill more xenos. Which, hey—maybe a space marine prefers that to putting their feet up. Be sure to check out the full story on PCGamer.com and follow us here for more gaming news.
