This Discord Message is Not what you think it is.

I got a pretty weird DM and I didn't really know what to do with it.
I first thought that this was a normal discord DM ad that leads to a scam or just some silly server. But as I dove deeper and deeper, I realized that this message is not what I thought it was. Is it a sketchy business trying to spam people's DMs? Is it a scammer trying to make some quick cash? Or is it a sign from the heavens that I should play the most garbage browser game on the planet?

I actually played a few of r2 games before, in specific they have 2 mmos called "crystal saga" and "crystal saga 2" they were pretty popular years ago especially since it was playable straight from the browser thanks to flash. Kinda sad to see a company relying on this type of stuff but i'm glad they're not doing actual scams or information stealing.

[@AnotherGachaAddict]

I played those and Dragon Pals back in the day. They were just money grabbers though and very P2W. Glad I didn't have a credit card back then because I definitely would've fallen prey to their tactics as a kid.

[@RaphielShiraha64]

@@AnotherGachaAddict They were fine for the time besides the p2w and being able to play straight from browser was also pretty good, but now days? yeah we have much better alternatives, heck you're probably off downloading something like ragnarok online and playing it, which i did recently and i actually enjoyed it pretty decently.

[@an_Anon]

I'm not sure if the company who makes the games knows exactly how their games are being advertised. Maybe they need to break off a partnership with an ad agency or two.

[@SantaPanda]

​@@an_Anonthat's exactly what it is.. I made a dm to NTTS and am just waiting to hear back as a former employee there.

This is actually pretty common in Asia. There are a lot of these crappy browser MMO games like this. They love to advertise these games as annoying popup ads on a lot of pirate and porn sites (I guess they're coming to Discord now too). They're not really a scam but I'd say they're more like mobile game ads that you'd see on facebook and stuff. Just really poorly made games that use anime booba and false advertisement to bait you in.

[@goddamnit]

Thank you so much for spreading aware about these random annoyances, and how they really work and function in the background, the more people know, the better

[@andre_601]

I generally hate people that use the "underage" emoji (Crossed out 18 emoji) to indicate adult content... It's called UNDERAGE and has 18 crossed out, so NOT 18 (aka LESS THAN 18)... Like I seriously wonder where it started that this emoji means 18+... Like where?

you SURE its a scam? more like a harmless beneficial gain for the affiliate marketing link publishers (if you didnt watch the whole video then ill summarize easily for lazy boneheads like you: randomly uses hacked accounts to send you DMs, the reason why they are hacked is because they downloaded "crack" from youtube tutorials. Sent to a game page and when you click play it simply autoplays and confuses the heck out of you but its harmless based on this video. no phishing..? wonder why they would do that- oh right affiliate marketing from CPA so they gain money on a harmless side) Correct me if im wrong because i can highly make a mistake for simplifying it heavily

I honestly thought that they would just have a link that is similar to the one from the company that made those games and when you sign up it sends your data to someone and if you used the same password-email combo you used in the signup somewhere else they would have access to that account.

League of angels(the third one) is actually a game i spent a lot of time playing its like a genshin, before genshin was created, and its for casuals it's relaxing to just watch your character run around, and beat up people:)

That somehow really reminded me of pop-under advertising, which were annoying until the exploits that enabled them on the Chromium platform were finally patched out. (KZbin user 'LiveOverflow' did videos on some of those exploits) Edit: Those pop-under adverts included affiliate spam too.

So, in simple terms, if I have this correct, somebody downloaded an adobe crack, got hacked, then the hacker was using the account to send links so they could get paid money for people clicking a game link for whatever website the game is on, that the game just kind of plays itself

[@R3dStr1pes]

I mean they might be trying to steal your passwords by logging the password and email you use to sign up to the site. Since people use the same pass everywhere all the time they could use this info they could create a combolist and then attempt to login to other sites? It happens and just a thought
