I don't have any interest in making shorts. Shorts might be good for getting views and subscribers but it's all short lived and doesn't build an audience that translates to long form content at all.
There are some games I just want to enjoy for myself and not create content about. Diablo 4 was one of them coupled with the fact that there's already a ton of content creators focusing on Diablo 4 that I would just ending up being a tiny fish in a huge ocean. Doesn't really feel like it would be a good use of my time.
Most of my videos are sitting on well over 50% retention which is way above typical for long form videos. I analyze my analytics a lot and retention especially to learn what I need to improve.
I most likely won't play Baldur's Gate 3 until a few years has passed. I'm always late with these big games and that's yet another game that's going to have a ton of content creators going for it. I'd rather focus on lesser known games that aren't targeted by all the big content creators.
I appreciate your comment even though I disagreed with pretty much all of it :P

Wise words dude , you know your stuff and the result with that Beginners guide to Halls Of Torment kind of proves it.
