True, but I don't think loss of tone would've mattered much here; almost all of the content of the video itself seems deliberately overwritten; it could be condensed to a tweet or post less than 100 words.
We've been deeply involved with the Godot community since we started 3 years ago. It wouldn't be right to just write a text post. That'd be too flippant and I think it does right by the community to give more of an in-depth explanation.
