This is a possible summary:
The speaker is a fan of the DayZ mod, a zombie survival game, and wants to make a video essay about the DayZ standalone, an official version of the mod that was poorly received. He argues that the standalone failed because it went into early access too early, before the engine and the gameplay were ready, and because it alienated the core fans of the mod who had different expectations. He also criticizes other video essays that did not understand the appeal of the mod or the challenges of software development. He uses examples from other games, such as Minecraft and The Culling, to illustrate his points. He advises developers to avoid going into early access too early and to respect their customers' feedback.
