Scam game tries to include me as a character??? im looking for 3024 people

[@StarShineTheDragon]

oh goodness, that company is delusional for even thinking that email would magically get you on “their side”

[@johannderjager4146]

​Not anything super important, but your video description says "Didgy going-ons". Just wanted to point out the very humorous typo. I honestly think you should keep it because "dodgy" is an understatement and requires a new term to be made, and "didgy" sounds great to me.

[@FranNyan]

Agreed. You can't just claim someone is associated with your company/brand/product/whatever when it's not true, and it's absolutely wild that they somehow thought they could.

[@nexus3756]

so what kinda happened here then was they told callum to "get nft'd idiot" and callum screamed nooo as he was then immortalized on the all mighty, all knowing blockchain?

[@TenShine1productions]

So it's basically "any publicity is good publicity"

[@Oroberus]

Yep and if they play it right, they will indeed come out at the end with a clear win I'm actually hooked to see if they'll play it the way I would if I would be an unscrupulous con-artist and scammer They absolutely have a chance to pull a win for them if played right

[@stage6fan475]

Hang in there Callum. It is probably going to get even weirder.

[@Oroberus]

If they're at least half as smart as I think they be based on the HUGE meta play, they will let it get waaay bigger and drag it out waaay longer, it's such an unbelievable great marketing campaign As we've seen DAILY for a DECADE by now is that 99% of gamers are fucking stupid and there WILL be people believing that they're part of it The dev is gaining a massive reach by the videos and be dragging it on, having such e-mails shown and having more videos on it produced, it actually pulls the integrity of the people in question that are included (DCallum, Jauwn, Sid). If they're actually smart and have the skills, they might even 'leak' internal discord chats they forged with all 3 of them, containt their agreement and the plan that thy will officilly deny everything That's so fucking genius Sure, it's morally bankrupt and outrigt criminally insane but it will indeed rake in cash and might damage those 3 youtubers It's a bit like it's with rigged judicial systems in the us Let's say you killed someone, why should you stop at only 1? Depending on the state, you might already get executed for that 1. murder, why stop there and just roll over and let them go for it? Why not actually going all-in and try to get away with it by racking up a bunch more heinous crimes. The penalty won't be substantially different, but at least you have a chance and even a 0.00000001% is a chance ^^

[@Buttersaemmel]

thanks for plugging jauwn here as well as in the last video. made me discover his channel and it was absolutely worth it!

[@Ransok_Bukaj]

[@cornishcat11]

[@CrowRider1999]

[@soycowdoy]

Incredibly crafty move by the scam creators, sorry, ‘game devs’. How does anyone buy these things, I don’t get it. I’d love to have people that fall for multiple scams like these interviewed, that could be interesting. Thanks for the video update Callum, great stuff mate.

[@nameless5413]

the scammers can not fight against the truth so they deflect and obfuscate. clever scum aren't they?

They're hoping Callum would allow this so they can then claim the videos are on their site and therefore, their content they contracted him for.

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

You should DMCA them since they are using your content without you permission and talk to an attorney about suing them for impersonation, and attempting to defraud people.

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

I would honestly drop the hammer of fucking Thor on them legally. This is NOT ok.

[@fusrosandvich3738]

Yes please, just this one id like to see someone actually get punished for abusing copyright, im sure people here would be willing to help fund it.

Plot twist: this video is also an ad and Callum is part of an extremely elaborate marketing campaign to make $40k!!

[@johannderjager4146]

These are indeed very didgy going-ons. For once an NFT project can provide easy money... for you Callum because you have a slam-dunk lawsuit with this.

[@atrane365]

So, they are claiming you, sid, jaune, etc are all part kf a company intending to smear their game, and made that company to make it seem so? Even though you guys have been youtubers far longer than their shitty ARG has even been a thought in their heads? I feel like that is impersonation and attempt to defraud, and i feel that is legal enough to act upon

Never surprises me how immature and obnoxious anyone connected to web 3 projects can be.

Oooh, good times. They use your likeness or whatever without your consent so now you can personally sue them. But they decided to follow up with their falsely accusing you of stealing their info, by legitimately stealing your property. 😮😅

[@AsgerJon]

Either we cease enforcing copyright laws altogether, or those who make false DMCA claims must face prison time. Perjury, akin to intentionally sabotaging the scales of justice, undermines the credibility of our legal processes and erodes public trust. If perjury is allowed to go unchecked and is seen as a crime without severe consequences, it risks creating a system where testimonies are doubted, and the truth becomes elusive in our courts.

Maybe this is hella negative on my part, but the fact they sent this to the smaller youtuber out of the bunch, asking fro permission for 2 different channel's vids, makes it feel like they were hoping that by throwing a promise of clout (despite having none themselves) at a small channel to be able to use all the vids however they wanted, then turn around like "Well we got permission , see?". Even with "Plz forward to them" in the email, like why werent they just all sent the email at the same time? Hella ick is all Im sayin
