Because there is no need for it. (Gaming)

Also car15 mentioned "theater fitting in line with guardians sharing their legend". Personally, I'm not sure I'd ever use it for that. As far as I know, most, if not all, of our real life legends are written or verbal, not visual. Just referencing a post I made a few days ago about Nomis dropping into my game and saving my bacon... Which is more interesting: Me writing about it? Where I can tell you how I felt, what the situation was to my eyes, how amazing it was to see him there suddenly? Or me uploading a clip so you can watch it without any of that context? Even if I provided that write up alongside the clip, the clip would pale in comparison. That moment was ultimately boring to watch, it isn't exciting in the least to see. It'd be literally 10 seconds long. I'm reloading, about to be smacked by a Captain, the Captain drops dead, I turn around, there's Nomis, we go back to killing things. But hearing about that moment? Hoo boy.

Legends aren't just records of accomplishments or events, they're the feelings and emotions that go along with them. They're epic stories more than anything else.

Aha! But you see, why must it be one or the other? Now imagine your epic write-up one day in the future, or even of this past event. There you are, writing. You're building up. You're describing this thing that happened where someone came in and something awesome happened. It's literally ten seconds long. Your words, expertly crafted to build excitement and awe, set the stage for the video right below it. Holy cow, he wasn't kidding! That was pretty cool!

In the sad, pitiful age of TL;DR, sometimes ten second videos do the trick. Add words along with the videos, and your Legend may be solidly ingrained in the history of the solar system for ages to come. Be Brave.
