To be honest, I REALLY don't give a shit, ESPECIALLY after USAID.
RAID Shadow Legends was basically a life line for a lot of YouTubers thanks to YouTube's shitty system. Hell they helped fund Count Dankula become a dad which is miles better than the kind of stuff USAID funded.
yeah its a terrible "game" but they have funded many youtubers, including ones I do not like for their shitty politics but that imo kinda points towards more of a neutral stance, during the still ongoing youtube ad revenue shitshow of the past however many years
and its a game, sure it has a pretty standard mobile game business model but at least its not cigarettes or better fucking help
Look I hate the illegitimate "state" of Israel as much as any red-blooded dissident here but are you fucking for real with this, Unity News Net? You think Sargon, who has been integral to our cause for like 20 years, is somehow a bad actor because he plugged a video game?
I've been following Sargon for over a decade easily and I never once saw him plug anything, so that doesn't surprise me. I figured he did somewhere I didn't see.
I used to think that as well but I've come to the conclusion that those who profit from vice in our land are doing so at the expense of our people. Even the weak and undisciplined and poorly raised ones are still our brothers.
I have no problem with profiting off the vice of other nations, however.

This isn't the 'gotcha' moment they think it is..

I'll even play and promote Russian games. Like owlcats
According to people in the replies, the company isn't even Israeli anymore. An Australian company bought them in 2017, RAID came out in 2019.

the funny part is sargon says he never did and demanded a full retraction and apology

only his own content, his lotus eaters stuff and the new mag they're publishing yeah.
At this point a Raid: Shadow Legends ad read is just white noise on Youtube (if you dont use SponsorBlock).
It's completely interchangeable with an ad read for VPN company #12. Complete nothing burger.
You mean nordvpn
Man those ads were annoying
Who. Fucking. Cares.
Yes, about any of it. IDGAF about who owns a shitty mobile game, or the livelihood of "Youtubers".
I still can't get over how insane the world is where dipshits posting videos online are making more than people who work real jobs in the first place.
Country-based companies don’t mean much. Country funded companies is what you really need to watch out for.
Wait, what? I could have SWORN it was a Tencent abomination. Isn't it? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
It's amazing how many people in this thread don't care who takes money from Israel, just staggeringly stupid.
From an israeli company, not the israeli govt. And for a shitty game, not to espouse some ideology
zero distinction
Sargon in particular has a long time feud with critics of Jews. How do you know there is nothing transactional going on?
Wait, it’s a shitty game? But all those YouTubers and Twitch streamers love it so much! They can’t stop talking about it.
Now investigate USAID funding sexual pest orgs grooming UK children, a country which is itself paying aid to other countries.
Its just another farmville dopamine trap.
IMO games with time gates that you can pay to negate should 18+ only.
I'd rather that they simply be made an unprofitable design choice, but people are too dumb to make that an option.

This witch hunt is sponsored by RIAD SHADIW LEGENDS!
I'm not at the point of caring someone advertized for a mobile game advertized all over Youtube.
