Actually, it is related.

A quick summary: game journos hate games and all wish they were covering movies and celebrities instead. They want walking simulators with political messaging that fits their biases.

Some game directors, Kojima included, have either lost confidence in what made them great (Metal Gear Solid) and desperately want the validation of "serious" media like movies, or just never wanted to make games to begin with. And they'd rather suck up to Epstein's Hollywood friends than make stuff that the fans who made their careers like.

I like Ptolemy. I don't recall the FF11 video specifically, but his videos are generally 100% aligned with the sentiments of early GamerGate: gaming tourists get out.
