xQc stunned after being baited into promoting RAID mobile game on stream Twitch streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel was hilariously caught off-guard after he was tricked into playing an ad for the mobile game RAID: Shadow Legends live in front of thousands of viewers. xQc\u2019s \u2018media share streams\u2019 are a favorite with fans, who can submit a video or link along with a donation that the streamer will watch and react to with his chat. Memes, funny videos and even content created by fans themselves are usually featured, but the most recent media share stream on January 12 included something that caught the Twitch star off guard. The stream was going on as normal when, out of nowhere, a full advertisement video for the mobile game RAID: Shadow Legends popped up. \u201cIs that a f*cking ad?\u201d xQc asked after what was definitely an ad started playing. \u201cIt is literally an ad, literally an ad.\u201d The streamer could do nothing but watch the rest of the ad in stunned silence, as his chat exploded with fans laughing at the bold trickery unfolding before their very eyes. It\u2019s not clear exactly who orchestrated this bait. The user who donated $10 to get the ad played was named RAIDshadowlegends, which suggests it may have been the developers themselves. That, however, remains unconfirmed since realistically anyone could have used that name in an attempt to make their troll look more authentic. If developers were indeed the ones behind this, then paying $10 to get an ad on to xQc\u2019s stream \u2013 which regularly breaks 20,000 viewers \u2013 would be a bold, brilliant, and admittedly shameless marketing strategy. It\u2019s not the first time ads for games have been snuck into big-time Twitch streams either. In 2019 a user impersonating the Escape From Tarkov developers trolled Asmongold with a video promoting the game as he watched videos with viewers. Advertisements and videos promoting these kinds of games are already all over YouTube and Twitch, but paying to sneak them in a streamer\u2019s media share queue is on a whole other level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
