Overwatch: The world's first video game. In this video, we look at the stories behind Ellie, the fake girl gamer who worked her way through the ranks into the minor leagues of Overwatch's competitive scene... despite never actually existing. We delve into the lies and broken promises of Overwatch 2, the strangest sequel to a video game that has released yet, including the mysterious PVE that has yet to actually manifest. We also look at Tracer's Over The Shoulder Victory Pose, a controversial choice that showed off more of Tracer than some people thought was necessary. Finally, we delve into the twisted mind of DJ Khalid, and his performance at the Overwatch League.

Barbie: The world's first edible doll. Debuting in 1959, this beautiful babe and her entourage of well-dressed 20-somethings are certainly familiar with being in the spotlight. Over the years, this titan of a brand has managed to anger every group under the sun, either for not being progressive enough, for being too progressive, or for that time they gave Ken a lavender mesh shirt. Some of Barbie's scandals include her friend Midge's pregnancy, which some parents felt gave kids the wrong idea about becoming a mother. Earring Magic Ken was also a topic of some contention, when Mattel accidentally gave him a particular charm around his neck. Barbie was also swept up in controversy in her attempt to get with the times, as multiple high-tech Barbies have given rise to cybersecurity concerns. Finally, Barbie has been accused of being a poor role model for a number of reasons. In this video, we look at all of this nothing else!

In this video, we highlight various scandals and controversies within the Final Fantasy franchise. We start by discussing a promotion with Grubhub in Final Fantasy 14, where players could earn an emote by ordering food, but the rollout and distribution of the codes were problematic, leading to frustration among players. We then move to Final Fantasy 11, where an unbeatable boss named Absolute Virtue caused frustration and long hours of attempts by players to defeat it. Next, we talk about a Japanese raid team in Final Fantasy 14 who used mods to gain an unfair advantage during a raid, which sparked controversy within the community. Finally, we cover the tragedy that was Raubahn EX.

Diablo! What a game. It was this 1997 stunner that finally asked the question: what if you could kill demons and wear their pants at the same time? Ever since then, the series has gone from strength to strength, and scandal to scandal. These include the tragic story of Blizzard North, and how corporate shenanigans shut down the creators of this beloved franchise. Diablo III's launch, which forced players into an always-online world to the dismay of many, all thanks to the Real Money Auction House, which is an entire scandal in itself. And finally, the grand daddy of all Diablo scandals: Diablo Immortal. One of the most insidious mobile games on an already unholy platform, this game wears Diablo's skin while blackmailing you into paying for its premium currency.

Instead, you get to watch it for free, instead sacrificing the precious moments you have on this earth. We talk about Skater and Torje's famous Fast Wii incident, which sparked a lot of very juvenile discourse. The iQue, an obscure Nintendo console from China, became a scandal in itself, after it gave runners a competitive edge that was hard to keep up with. In the same vein, Amiibos are a constant source of pain for the Breath of the Wild community, as their pay to win antics earn them the scorn of many a runner. Finally, we look into the tragic misunderstanding of Triforce%.

Super Mario Brothers is like what would happen if a Japanese company in the early 80's made a video game. Its explosive popularity defined the childhood of generation after generation, and so it's no wonder that our little Italian friend is equally as popular in the speedrunning community. Of course, as with any competition, there are inevitably those who will do whatever it takes to get their name at the top of the leaderboard. In this video, we cover some of the many scandals that have plagued the Mario speedrunning community. These include the quest for the perfect 32 in Mario Kart 64, where runner Dan Burbank hoarded his times in order to finally pass legendary runner Matthias Rustemeyer on the scoreboards. We also look at the infamous holymoly2207, whose humble brag drew attention to a spliced Super Mario 64 run that he never thought would be discovered. Next, we go over the tragic tale of Chibi, and the hack he used to complete a difficult skip in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. We also look at the story of the blindfolded Mario 64 cheater, who can very clearly see through his blindfold while playing. And finally, we look at the strange tale of the faked Super Mario Bros speedrun on the Badabun channel.

In 2014, New Zealand's Lewis Road Creamery released a special Whittaker's chocolate milk that quickly became a sensation across the country. People lined up outside supermarkets to get their hands on the highly sought-after beverage. Security guards also were hired in order to enforce the strict purchase limits on the milk. This Youtube video takes a deep dive into the Lewis Road Creamery chocolate milk scandal, exploring the origins of the product and the reasons behind its popularity. It also explores the role of social media in amplifying smaller businesses and shaping the company's growth through word of mouth.

Even the most notorious online communities can do good. In this video, we'll talk about the unlikely story of the /r/atheism water tank donation to a village in Uganda. Despite the subreddit's smug, self-aggrandizing reputation, the community came together to raise money to build a water tank that would provide clean water to those need. We'll also look at the time when Reddit came together to donate pizzas to a children's hospital, and the "sad papaw" story, where a grandfather's lonely burger cookout went viral on Twitter. The internet rallied around him, and soon, he had thousands of people showing up for a burger at his next cookout. Of course, let's not forget about the infamous "Burger King Foot Lettuce" story, one that will send chills up your spine. All of these and more, when we look into what happens when Reddit does good.
Uri Geller is a fascinating individual, one of those rare humans who is so unabashedly unique that you can't help but look on in awe. The spoon-bending psychic is famous for many things, mostly his love of bending spoons, but he is also famous for suing Nintendo over everybody's favorite Pokรฉmon: Kadabra, known in Japan as Yungerer. This spoon-bending psychic Pokรฉmon is a clear homage to Uri, but where Nintendo saw an homage, Uri saw a stolen identity, and fittingly demanded $100m in damages to his image. This sparked a 20 year long legal battle that saw Nintendo strike Kadabra from the TCG and Anime. This is just the tip of the iceberg however, as Uri's life is a fascinating series of events, real or otherwise. Join me, as we delve into the life of the legend, and see just how deep this Kadabra-shaped rabbit hole goes.The Illegal Final Fantasy BillboardManyKudos2022-12-18 | ๐ Treat yourself this holiday season with the Beefiest podcast around: youtube.com/c/BeefBoys ๐
Ah yes, billboards. The modern mans novel, they tell you everything you need to get by in today's consumer-driven world: where to eat, where to drink, who to call when you break the law, and of course, which Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Beach Party Role Play events to go to. At least, that must have been how Rain Nightclub must have seen it. This Final Fantasy XIV free company went viral in the community earlier this year for it's out-of-the-box advertising strategy, wherein they rented multiple real-life billboards in order to advertise their in-game event. This quickly blew up in their face, as it turns out a number of the assets used in the billboard violated the game's material usage rights, including the fact that they used official game assets and logos on a REAL LIFE BILLBOARD. The community was torn over whether this was hilarious or about to result in a crack down from Final Fantasy 14's publisher, Square Enix, and most importantly, would the beach party still go ahead? All of these questions and more answered in today's video.Reddit HATED Our Bad Relationship Advice [Ft. Ghost Gum]ManyKudos2022-12-05 | Do not attempt to give any of this advice at home

I can't imagine, when Mr Nintendo first invented Super Smash Bros in the year of our lord, 1895, that it would end up like this. Super Smash Bros Melee has one of the most lively competitive fanbases to this day, and with rivalries and events such as this, it's not hard to see why. Leffen vs Chillin is a tale as old as time, the old buck being challenged by the new stallion, forced to prove whether he still has it in him, or he's just resting on his laurels. Unlike horses, who are unable to sing, rap, or even talk, our competitors were able to massively hype up this event from months of smack-talking on Twitter and interviews, culminating in Chillin putting out one of the most legendary pieces of Smash Bros history: the Respect Your Elders diss track. When the event finally rolled around, it practically overshadowed the tournament it was attached to, and everyone was couldn't wait to see the outcome. What they got would go down as the most painful match in the history of Smash Bros.

If there's one thing I've discovered, it's that MMORPG's and drama go together like feet in shoes. Something about a group full of shut-in players being forced to work together seems to bring out the best and worst amongst us, and todays story is no different. In 2003, players of the classic 3D MMORPG Everquest took it upon themselves to kill the un-killable dragon. The prismatic dragon Kerafyrm was never designed to be killed, and in fact, was meant to be so powerful that players would have no chance to - as it was important for the story that he not only lives, but that players get a taste of just how powerful he was. Still, gamers are a fickle bunch, and if we're told we can't do something, that only makes us want to do it even more. So when a player on a chaotic PvP realm set out to wake Kerafyrm in order to troll his former guildmates, they instead decided to prove their worth by doing something nobody had ever done before: kill the un-killable dragon.

Jed Sanderson, also known as Mod Jed, almost got away with the heist of a lifetime. Employed by Jagex, the company that makes Runescape, he was able to access back-end developer tools to hack into players accounts, and make off with their hard-earned gold. Given the liquidity of Runescape gold, he could have easily flipped this for over $250,000 - but that isn't all. Many people in the Runescape community believe he also helped leak info to his clan, Reign of Terror, to help them lock down the highly-lucrative revenant caves, as well as he providing information that could well have lead to their victory in multiple official Deadman mode tournaments. In this video, we explore the allegations made against him - and the misbehavior that led to his firing.

Runescape requires no introduction, but for legal reasons, I'm going to anyway. The iconic, formerly browser-based MMO appeals to everyone with its simple yet deep gameplay systems, amazing soundtrack, surprisingly good writing, and generous free content. In this video, I team up with self-described Runescape "player" Josh Strife Hayes, to tackle a number of Runescape's scandals. These range from the infamous Falador massacre, wherein a glitch allowed a number of players to PK outside of the designated areas, allowing them to make off with some expensive swag, to Woox at the Deadman Invitational Tournament, in which legendary player Woox won a PvP tournament without attacking a single player. I also discuss the scandal around Runelite HD, when Jagex blocked a highly-anticipated graphical mod for arbitrary reasons, and finally look into the culture of Venezuelan players selling their services in Runescape.

Magic the Gathering is an amazing game, and easily the most fun you could extract from compressed tree pulp and some nicely arranged ink. As we saw in my previous video, Magic the Gathering's Many Scandals, there are some hilarious and fascinating stories and dramas, or 'scandals', that pop up in Magic the Gathering from time to time. With a fanbase of this size, it really is inevetable that we'll have something like crackstyle, wherein Magic the Gathering player Sid Blair posed next to a few errant cracks at Grand Prix Richmond, before going viral on Reddit. Other Many Scandals include artist dramas, such as the controversial banned card Invoke Prejudice, or the art theft by Jason Felix on the Crux of Fate card, or the erasure of Chandra and Nissa's romantic relationship in the War of the Spark: Forsaken novel. Finally, the Player Riot of 1997 saw a number of Magic the Gathering professional players storm the stage and demand the final match be retaken, after player David Mills was disqualified for repeatedly breaking a minor rule.

Warhammer, Games Workshop's premiere tabletop wargame, is about as full of scandals as you would expect from a game that expects you to spend hundreds of dollars on small pieces of cheap resin. Interestingly, unlike some of the other scandals we've covered in other Many Scandals episodes, Warhammer's dramas are less so caused by their player base, and more from it's producer, Games Workshop. An infamously litigious company about as opaque as a block of wood, for decades fans have been left to try and divine the inner workings and bizarre decisions of their favorite hobby. These include making it so that nobody can make their own fan animations online, all so they can trick people into paying for their proprietary streaming service Warhammer +, as well as throwing the rich lore and backstory of Warhammer Fantasy in a bin, in order to reboot it as the now-infamous Age of Sigmar.

Releasing at the perfect time when children were beginning to grow bored of Pokemon, while also yearning for something cooler and edgier, Yu Gi Oh is the trading card game phenomenon that leaped its way out of Japan and quickly took over the world, recently finding renewed interest with the release of Yu Gi Oh! Master Duel. Of course, any game with a profile as high as this can't exist without finding a few, or shall we say 'many scandals' along the way, and Yu Gi Oh certain has some fun ones. The Tokyo Dome Riot is one of the greatest examples of the insanity some people encountered due to Yu Gi Oh, with a crowd of 55,000 Japanese fans starting to riot because they stopped selling an exclusive pack of cards. There are many more scandals to uncover, such as 4kids rampant censorship of the Yu Gi Oh anime, some hilarious rulings for the Yu Gi Oh trading card game, and two ingenious German players who created the world's longest deck of Yu Gi Oh cards, and subsequently entered it into a tournament.

Dungeons and Dragons is one of the funnest games I've ever played, the genetic origin of an entire genre of video games. Only after you play Dungeons and Dragons do you realize that almost every RPG ever made is trying desperately to give you even a fraction of the freedom you have within D&D. Still, this freedom comes with a price, and that's having to sit across the table from a guy wearing 3+ pieces of Deadpool merch who keeps making the only girl in your party uncomfortable. In this video, we explore how Dungeons and Dragons had Many Scandals over the years, including several run-ins with the Satanic Panic crowd, who saw it as the next incarnation of the Anti-Chris, or whatever his name is. Dungeons and Dragons has many scandals outside of just the satanic panic too, such as how it has been routinely banned within prisons for supposedly encouraging gang activity, and of course, the infamous story of Orion Acaba, ex-cast member of the web series Critical Role.

Magic the Gathering is genuinely a trading card game, and I would never lie to you about that. Over its 27 year tenure, it has accrued a wide variety of wacky and hilarious scandals and stories, several of which I have conveniently collated for you and your amazing family to enjoy. Some of these many scandals include the tale of Alex Bertonicini, a player who could not stop cheating at Magic the Gathering to save himself, as well as a series of entertaining disqualification stories, that show Magic the Gathering players are at least creative when it comes to getting kicked out of tournaments. There's also a tale of intense rules lawyering, where player Bradley Carpenter found himself losing a game because he didn't say the right name when he played the card Pithing Needle, and finally, the tale of Goyfgate, where Pascal Maynard found himself having to choose between making a better deck, or scoring an easy $2000.

World of Warcraft is an amazing social experiment that pits legions of the worlds shut-ins against each other and prays that someone will pry some fun out of it. As one might reasonably expect, this sick science experiment has resulted in many scandals, born of a mixture of poor social skills, anonymity, and the sheer power fantasy that a game like WoW can provide. These examples range from the infamous Serenity Now funeral raid, where a player's funeral was completely decimated by a rival guild, to the orc rogue Angwe locking down a major port for 10 hours a day for 4 months straight. Even Blizzard, the games developer, has gotten in on the fun, by accidentally coding in a virtual plague that swept the World of Warcraft and temporarily ground the entire game to a halt. And finally, even today, players of World of Warcraft Classic found a way to draw the ire of their entire server. These are their stories.

The Mountain Dew Game Jam was one of the most expensive failures to ever grace our humble website. What could've been a fascinating insight into the sheer creativity that goes into the creation of the video games you spend your days laying in your couch hole scratching your belly to, ended up being an absolute travesty, with a gaping hole in Polaris's pocket. Starring massive Youtube personalities such as Jontron, Markiplier, CaptainSparklez and Angry Joe, as well as indie game developers such as Zoe Quinn, Adriel Wallick and Tom Jackson, this video essay tells a tale of greed, corporate meddling, bigotry, and enough Mountain Dew to drown a baby billy goat.

Brand Twitter has long been my archnemesis. A perfect blend of rampant consumerism mixed with unfunny memes and a groveling audience that happily laps them up, I can't think of something that grinds my gears more than Brand Twitter. In this explosive ManyKudos classic, we explore some of the many ways that Brand Twitter has messed up over the years, whether it's an auto-reply mistake from one of their bots, a backfiring poll, or even just a classic human interaction that will leave you cringing. Every brand on Twitter, from Burger King to McDonalds to Wendy's are guilty of this, and I hope this video shows that they only care about swindling all of those luscious, beautiful coins you carry around with you in a large burlap sack.

Silicon Valley tech startups are here to solve all of your problems - especially problems that they created, and then kindly created solutions for. Where would we be without apps like Yik Yak or Whisper, or wearable technology like rapper Will.I.Am's Puls or Dial. While they're desperate to convince you these objects are "smart", they're really anything but - and usually involve tangling you up in the Internet of Things, forcing you to download an app for each appliance in your house and connecting your toaster to WIFI, for god knows what reason. Today, we dive neck-first into these overdesigned, overpriced failures, to see what we can learn from the people who get paid more than a small country to lie to their investors.

Cyberpunk 2077 was meant to be our saviour, delivering us from an awful year and providing the sort of escapism that doesn't break every 5 minutes because we made the daring decision to walk in a straight line for 20 seconds. CD Projekt Red had long ago won over the hearts of gamers with their series of Witcher video games, in particular The Witcher 3, considered by many to be one of the greatest games of all time. A rare company that seemed to genuinely respect its customers, gamers were consistently lathering them with praise and money, and it seemed they could do no wrong. So when CD Projekt Red released Cyberpunk 2077 in a barely-finished, bug-riddled state, was it simply a case of exceptionally bad luck? Or did Cyberpunk 2077 really have a disastrous development from start to finish?/r/GamersRiseUp: The Banned Reddit Community That Went Joker Mode [Ft.

Gamers Rise Up, or /r/GamersRiseUp, is a banned subreddit with an exceptional backstory. While many banned subreddits start out with a dicey premise that only got worse as time went on, Gamers Rise Up was a curious case of a subreddit that was created to mock people with detestable views, only for it to be taken over by the very people they sought to make fun of. While Reddit's intense over-censorship is undoubtably a bad thing, the sheer vileness of the community by the end of its lifespan meant its banning didn't come as a surprise. So how did the unholy trinity of incels, gamers, and the Joker create a community full of such hate?Classic Pokรฉmons Many ScandalsManyKudos2020-12-11 | Satanic panic, moral outcries, youth violence on the rise: all of these and more were blamed on our furry little collectible friends. ๐ฃ Twitter: twitter.com/manykudos ๐ Merch: https://www.fantasydivision.online ๐น Twitch: twitch.tv/manykudos ๐ฎ Discord: discord.gg/8DbJfZE ๐ด Patreon: patreon.com/manykudos ๐ Beef Boys Podcast: youtube.com/c/BeefBoys
The Pokemania of the late 90's was a wild time to be alive. Perhaps the last true fad, it swept the entire world, siphoning the money from the wallets of unsuspecting parents like your mum siphons compliments and reassuring messages from me. Pokemon was the victim of intense accusations, ranging from assaults, thefts, and other skulduggery from juveniles desperate for another hit of Pokemon-themed cardboard, to religious folk who determined it to be the next coming of Satan, in adorable cartoon rat form. These accusations, geniune or otherwise, often resulted in Pokemon being banned from schools across the nation, after teachers had to listen to one too many kids complaining about a sour trade or another lunchtime theft. In this video we'll look into the many accusations lobbied against Pokemon, and try get to the bottom of just why Pokemon was banned at everyone's school.The Concise History of Yandere Dev [Ft.

Yandere Dev, also known as Alex Mahan, is a cautionary tale that any man may befall the fate of Chris Chan, should they not learn from his mistakes. A masterclass in how not to handle internet fame, Yandere Dev rose to promience after striking IP gold with his indie game "Yandere Simulator". Yandere Sim is a hitman-style stealth assassination game where you play as a Yandere, a Japanese Anime trope describing a character with an unhealthy lust for their love interest, or 'senpai'. You may very well have heard about Yandere Dev from fantastic Youtubers like The Right Opinion or Kappa Kaiju, but in this video, we take a birds-eye view of his history online, so that we might learn how NOT to interact with trolls, fans, or otherwise, featuring none other than the enigmatic Justin Whang.

Belle Delphine, real name Mary-Belle Kirschner, is a perfect example of how to market yourself in the digital age. Equal parts tantilizing and hilarious, her numerous stunts have captured the hearts, minds and wallets of many: from selling her bath water, to her insane Tik Toks, to the Instagram photos that have resulted in the banning of her account. Her meme content sets her apart from other e-girls, helping her to reach massive Youtubers such as Pewdiepie, WillNE and Pyrocynical. But if Belle is just one half of Mary-Belle, where does she end, and Mary begin? Who is the real Belle Delphine? And why doesn't she reply to my DMs?

Boomer Memes prove that just because you can invent the internet, doesn't mean you know how to use it. On average, your parents are subjected to over 500,000 boomer memes every day. Do you really think that's healthy? They need to get off their bloody phone, or even better, go outside for once! In this video, Kudos and special guest Sumito create a boomer meme Facebook page, hoping to attract boomers so they can swindle them into buying awful joke tees they wear in selfies that they take at weird angles while on holiday. Between minions, awful motivational quotes, 'back in my day' messages, and a variety of other condescending jpgs, these two have their work cut out for them.The Bizarre Origins of Video Game ControllersManyKudos2020-06-18 | You ever played pong on a brick? ๐ฃ Twitter: twitter.com/manykudos ๐ Merch: https://www.fantasydivision.online ๐น Twitch: twitch.tv/manykudos ๐ฎ Discord: discord.gg/8DbJfZE ๐ด Patreon: patreon.com/manykudos ๐ Beef Boys Podcast: youtube.com/c/BeefBoys
Video games have a long history, blossoming way back in the day, possibly medieval times, and steadily growing ever since. By the 1970s, we were treated to the first home game consoles, such as the Magnavox Odyssey, the Fairchild Channel F, and the Intellivision. These three consoles were the first awkward steps towards the controllers we know today, covered in wood paneling, horrible ergonomics, and either way too many, or way too little buttons. By the 1980's, we began to see solid progress being made on the usability front, with consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System. These classic systems duked it out in some of the very first console wars, whose rivalry helped propel gaming into the mainstream, as well as launching some of the world's most iconic franchises: Mario, Sonic, Zelda, and many more. Retro home consoles and their controllers had a rocky start, but they will forever be remembered fondly for helping establish this explosively popular medium.
Reddit is undoubtedly one of the best places to go for discussion around hobbies and interests, but hot dog, the second you click out of reading about the new Animal Crossing update you find yourself in the middle of a shouting match between a series of the world's most tragic people. While political arguments are fairly harmless, some of these communities, also known as 'subreddits', really push the boundaries on what is morally acceptable, while barely staying within the confines of the law. The Reddit staff have had to make multiple difficult decisions about banning said communities, as no matter how vile these communities are, people will still defend their freedom to share and discuss such topics. In this video, we explore some of the worst, and most controversial subreddits, and the strange and funny stories that came along with them.
Facebook's group system is the only reason anyone under 40 still uses it, and is still one of the best ways to find hot singles with similar hobbies near you. In this video, we take an exploratory look at the gaming culture on Facebook by sneaking in the back door dressed as a man with a retro game hoodie and a dorito on his shoulder. Like a secret agent with bad personal hygiene, we infiltrate the gaming groups that pop up like mushrooms on a cool autumn day, or like mushrooms that pop up in a game of Super Mario Brothers, am I right gamers? But seriously, these Australian Gamer Groups are out the gate and full of some weird and wild people, and I can't wait for you come to come on this culinary adventure.Why Was The Movie Different To The Trailer?ManyKudos2020-03-03 | Bro you have to check out the latest ManyKudos video, there's a bit where he [SPOILER]s a [SPOILER] while [SPOILER]ing [SPOILER]! ๐ฃ Twitter: twitter.com/manykudos ๐ Merch: https://www.fantasydivision.online ๐น Twitch: twitch.tv/manykudos ๐ฎ Discord: discord.gg/8DbJfZE ๐ด Patreon: patreon.com/manykudos ๐ Beef Boys Podcast: youtube.com/c/BeefBoys
Spoilers will forever be a thorn in my backside, and yours too most likely, even though we don't share a backside.... haha... unless? We've all had a movie, tv show, game or zoetrope spoiled for us, and while it might not completely ruin the media for you, it certainly deflates your excitement to see it. Some of the most famous spoilers are from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, which goes to show how much that dang old mouse has a chokehold on our media consumption. Game of Thrones was also a prime target for spoilers, forcing you to unplug and avoid social media until you could warp pipe home (gamer reference, you might not get it) and experience the episode properly. Thankfully, HBO decided to release us from this curse by creating an ending that was like eating a nice Cornetto where the final bite of extra chocolate was replaced with maggots and spit. This video explores a variety of curious stories and anecdotes from the history of spoilers, from people screaming Harry Potter spoilers to fans in line for the final book, to the wacky ways companies try and stop their works from being leaked.
Bad Mobile Game Ads are some of the worst ads available on Youtube, and they make me rage, cringe and want to throw my potato salad at a wall. These mobile game ads utilize multiple slimy techniques to trick hapless idiots (you, me) into downloading their games, such as fake footage, suggestive content, and a mountain of lies so tall that 1 out of every 10 climbers would perish while trying to best it. Everyday I'm shuffling, but unfortunately I sometimes shuffle closer to ads for Lily's Garden, Mafia City, Legacy of Discord: Furious Wings, and Lord's Mobile. You may have heard of these from other, more attractive creators such as Pewdiepie, Danny Gonzalez, Jarvis Johnson or Kurtin Conner, so if you have, but you've still clicked on this video, you clearly have an insatiable lust for awful mobile game ads that were most likely made by a goblin under a bridge running Windows 98 on a Dell computer the size of a small van. Don't even get me started on Raid: Shadow Legends!

Their games are equal parts cinematic experience and moral outrage, siphoning energy from those it offends into a perpetual marketing machine. In this video we explore the wild ride Rockstar took to make Grand Theft Auto into the media titan it is today.
If you haven't had the pleasure of sitting down and playing an ice cold Grand Theft Auto game, you're missing out. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V are iconic games that pushed the boundaries of what's possible within the open world genre. Growing up, they were always 'that game', whichever popular game that politicians and the media had decided was what was turning kids into crims. What these jive turkeys forget is that, by exemplifying the degenerate and controversial behavior present in these games, they only made it more enticing to kids. Rockstar Games are no dummies, and knew that they could ride this free publicity out for the marketing slam-dunk of the century.
