Just think of all the loot boxes that could buy...
Is he your hero?The jealousy in this thread is intense.
I wish someone payed me 1 million dollars to [insert most activities here].I wish someone payed me 1 million dollars to stream an online game.
Is he your hero?
I don't see anything wrong with that, marketing takes all new forms these days....

For once I agree with you.I don't see anything wrong with that, marketing takes all new forms these days....

I don't have an issue with this except I feel it should have to be 100% clear that the video is sponsored content.
Other forms of media (television, radio, etc) are legally required to make it clear when someone is being paid to promote a product compared to offering an unbiased opinion.
Except he's not an actor, and he's not in a clearly marked commercial, apart from that, spot on. It's a clear indicator that these influencer shills are no better than any other low rent person who gets a sniff of fame. They almost all have personas of being one of the people, just another gamer next door like you, who just happens to have made it big. And you can join in, watch them play games, hit that donate button, because they're real, just like you.
Except he took a big fat bank transfer of 1 million dollars to promote the latest craze BR game, under the guise of playing it because it's fun. Some of the minor details have changed, but morally he's no different to TMartn and his CSGO lottery bullshit. But no one cares, and he will continue to make money hand over fist. Don't dismiss what a shill he is. Remember it for the next one.
Well it's free money, especially if he was going to play the game anyway......I guess a name and popularity brings you so much these days.....He was also at the New Years Celebration in Times Square last year, so I guess they believe there is an audience which they think he can market things to quite easily.....This seems crazy man.
I think you may have agreed with me on more occasions than you're willing to admit .....For once I agree with you.
I mean who wouldn’t want to be paid to play a game tons of people are enjoying?
Well yes, if this was a journalist, this would not be a two page thread........Guys like Ninja are different, they play games to get a following and subs, and most times you have to be decent at the games you're playing, nobody wants to see a guy lose every match, where the streamer is just bitter and frustrated.......Yet, most importantly, if a streamer is entertaining/funny etc....that goes a long way and can even supercede his natural gaming ability or lack thereof...Yet, I guess Ninja has already made his name as a great fortnite type of player and he probably has a spiky personality as well to keep his audience engaged.....There isn't anything wrong because streamers are mostly absolute mongoloids so nobody would confuse them with journalists (although gaming journalists are also equally dense you wouldn't take them for professionals either), but it's ethically flimsy whether or not this is straight advertisement.
It's required. Apparently Ninja did advertise the fact that he was sponsored.Disclaimers are definitely appreciatedbut also entirely voluntary for nowand may even be required by the FTC? IANAL
I don’t know who he is.
But good for him. Get money.
Maybe Cliffy told Ninja, he should be honored to play Lawbreakers for free or be associated with LB in anyway.....That it would actually quicken his career.....Hell, Cliffy, probably told him 'You should pay me 1 million to play Lawbreakers"......How much did Cliffy B pay him to play that awful battle royale game he put out I wonder
Are you as good at these games and have a following as Ninja does?They should’ve reached out to me. Would’ve done it for half the cost.
This makes 0 sense.Yet they complain that development is too expensive and their smaller dev's still just earn enough to barely get through the month. All while throwing money out the window for such pr bullshit and disproportionately high salaries for ceo's, cfo's, cco's, etc.
stuff and swearing

I'd pay someone $10 to dye my hair blue.I'd dye my hair blue for $50.
Don't feel bad. That old addage of "only focus on what you have." went out the window in the mid-2000s. Now it's all checkout these people making millions of dollars by uploading a video of them enjoying spending a half a million dollars of their parents' money.I know we should be grateful for what we have, and I am, but...
Things like this make me hate my life.
$500,000 a month and he still tries to get people banned. Label me a hater by all means, but I think it's safe to say Ninja is a talentless prick.
About the same as MS paid for the Sea of thieves one month ago?How much did Bethesda pay him for that Fallout 76 stream? That's what I wanna know.
WhyNight ninja eh...
On topic: I don't care if they pay for this crap but there definitely should be a disclaimer that it is sponsored or endorsed.
Because it allows people to be disingenuous if you don't make it clear. What could be considered an opinion piece or news actually has a hidden motive of money exchanging hands. Would you be OK with other media doing this? Say your daily news or gaming sites?
