Recently, it hasn’t been hard for gamers to come across publicly shared video clips on social media platforms. These clips often feature famous game franchises like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy… However, these are not tutorial or review clips; instead, they are about the 18+ mods of these games.
What’s noteworthy is that while in the past, 18+ mods only circulated among a small group of gamers, now everything is being publicly streamed by players on social media. Of course, these clips are not posted just for fun but have a clear purpose. Specifically, the higher the views on these clips, the more the clip owner can earn from advertising, similar to the advertising model on YouTube.
The use of these 18+ mods by gamers is not a particularly strange story. However, posting them publicly on one of the most popular platforms in the world like Facebook is a different matter, as it will reach a wide audience, including underage users. That is the concerning issue.
There are many great mods that have been released for Final Fantasy, such as for Cloud to wear a dress or to enhance the power of this character’s skills. However, some modders have also profited from the intent to sell mods by releasing unhealthy mods for female characters in Final Fantasy that are now being sought after by the gaming community. Posting these publicly on social media platforms is perhaps also aimed at this purpose.
