Personnaly, I have never even bothered to fully watch a single one of these "youtubers sponsors ads" that keep showing up.
 
Why I would bother when I'm pretty sure is a predatory gacha with 0 fun gameplay

It is basically the best RPG ever according to influencers. Of course I played it.

You betcha, and I can enjoy the crisp music and voice chat with my one of a kind RayCons. Playing with people all around the world has never been easier than with the help of NordVPN. And in between matches I'll enjoy a Japanese snack courtesy of Bokksu to celebrate my victories

You are lucky you are getting Raid shadow legends ads. I get crappy ads like flying gorilla, underground bunker game, get tall, fat or multiple characters and more

aww dang, you're getting ads for Bokksu? My ads are all Keeps, BetterHelp, yeah, NordVPN and RayCons, and a bunch of other shit I'd never use.
But Bokksu I'd use.

oh man, thank you sincerely ❤️
 
I played a game called Hero's Charge for a good amount of time in the past...RAID felt a lot like that so I never gave it more than an hour.

every time I heard this game's name alone I think of the sponsored ads I've witnessed over the years just because of the amounts of time I've seen them.
"Thanks to our friends and sponsors at Raid Shadow Legends!, where you can now play as [insert new character] in the all new [insert game mode]! If you play today with the code XXXXX you will get [insert in-game currency] as well as [insert group of free characters]!"

I think I downloaded it on a phone long ago just to see what it was at the time. But I don't think I ever ended up playing it lol. Don't have it installed anymore even if I did back then.

I suspect that it's like Marvel Strike Force, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (I think there's a Disney themed one as well just to cover all of their bases but I forgot its name) or one of the numerous other titles of their ilk. They work more or less the same with a different coat of paint and little variation between games. There's a Star Trek themed one on Apple Arcade if the gameplay (and IP) appeal to you but you don't want something that's riddled with MTX.

I'm confused. It was the rickroll video, not an ad for Raid.

Maybe you got lucky, but the rickroll video plays ads now first because nothing is sacred 🙃

tbh it didn't actually play a raid: shadow legends ad but I'm definitely sure it's possible

Pretty much your really not missing anything here. I looked into it after getting bombarded by their ads from everyone. From watching tutorials & other streamers play it, there are better mobile games on the market.

So I took a sponsorship from them earlier this year because "got bills to pay" and hey, they want to hand me free money cool, and all I had to do was mention it twice and have it auto play in the corner while I streamed something else. Pretty easy money tbh.

But obviously, having played it - It's meh. Not the worst game I have ever played, and you can play it awhile before you hit the money wall - but once you hit that wall, it's pretty hard to do anything at all without spending money.

gameplay wise, it's pretty repetitive (hence autoplay mode). I've played plenty of mobile games better than it, but many that are worse. I can see it being a fun distraction with autoplay while doing other things I guess? The way some will auto play those casino games on their phone. It does have a little depth and such, but yeah.

Basically, it's a phone game through and through. Not horrendous, but not great.
 
I like to imagine that this game is only there to disguise some experiment on YouTube Viewers driving crazy.

I wasn't excepting an actual response from someone who worked with them. That's super insightful, thank you!
 
Even Genshin Impact, which is probably the most high profile and console like gacha, has awful issues because it's a gacha.
That atleast has some active gameplay up to a point, most of these mobile games advertise themselves with how you don't even need to play to grind.
It's nice that they basically pay some peoples bills with the amount of sponsorships they do, but I'd rather play games than something that "plays" itself.

There aren't that many actual content creators present here, especially ones that are at least semiactive in the community, so it's understandable that a response would never be expected. Just consider me your resident youtube content creator if any questions arise specifically about this sort of stuff, or other content creation things (why some stories are covered etc).

I'm always good at responding to this stuff!
