Why it worked
The video uses a popular meme format with relatable characters to humorously comment on a hypothetical game development decision. The juxtaposition of a serious game development scenario with a meme creates comedic effect and relatability for gaming audiences.
Summary
The video humorously depicts a scenario where a game developer intended to create remasters of Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne but instead opted to develop a new game called Duskbloods. The meme format implies that this decision was met with a less-than-ideal reaction.
